Featured Video Play Icon

Meet Srujana Kotagiri, a Leading Eco Activist, from Nirmal district, Telangana, India. Womenlines takes pleasure in having ‘The FEARLESS Voice’  of Eco Change in the ‘Her Story Her Impact’ show!

Srujana’s journey is a testament to the strength and determination of a woman raised by an extraordinary mother. Growing up in a middle-class family, she faced numerous challenges, but her mother’s unwavering support and determination helped her overcome them. Abandoned by her father at just one-year-old, Srujana’s mother selflessly raised her for 30 years, ensuring she received a good education against all odds.

Srujana’s journey of resilience and dedication is deeply rooted in the influence of her mother—a rock, guiding light, and unwavering source of inspiration. She vividly recalls her mother working tirelessly as a ladies’ tailor, often bringing work home and stitching late into the night to support the family. Beyond her professional commitments, her mother also devoted time to nurturing Srujana’s creativity and practical skills.

During summer camps and school breaks, Srujana’s mother taught her a range of valuable skills, including:

  • Soft toy-making
  • Yoga
  • Woollen work
  • Jute bag-making
  • Painting

Her mother’s dedication and perseverance instilled in Srujana a strong sense of discipline, creativity, and resilience, values that continue to guide her today.

Instilling Empathy and Kindness

In addition to teaching practical skills, Srujana’s mother deeply embedded in her the values of empathy and kindness. She encouraged Srujana to treat others with compassion, even those who may have caused harm, fostering a spirit of forgiveness and understanding.

Today, Srujana stands as a testament to her mother’s love, support, and sacrifices. She is profoundly grateful for the lessons her mother has imparted and hopes to make her proud. Her journey is a shining example of the power of a mother’s love and sacrifice, inspiring others to recognize and appreciate the unsung heroes in their lives.

Driven by a passion for making a positive impact, Srujana has combined her strong educational foundation in B.Tech and MBA with nine years of experience in the software industry to initiate a self-funded noble cause. Inspired by her mother, she began planting trees in 2014, focusing on Zodiac Signs, Rasi, Nakshatra, medicinal plants, and rare species such as Neem, Ashoka, Ekavilvam, Mahavilvam, Rudraksh, Aloe Vera, and Bhringraj—a plant known for promoting natural hair growth—as well as varieties known for reducing sugar levels.

To date, Srujana has planted over 200,000 plants, including 20,000 Neem and Ashoka trees that she has personally planted. Her initiative aims to reduce pollution, protect the ozone layer, and generate oxygen, ultimately contributing to the preservation of our planet. Notably, this mission has been entirely self-funded, without any external financial assistance. Through her dedication, Srujana not only honors her mother’s legacy but also strives to make a meaningful difference in environmental conservation.

Embracing a Growth Mindset and Nurturing Positivity

Srujana embodies a growth mindset, approaching each day with gratitude for Mother Earth and the blessings that sustain our lives. Her journey is fueled by curiosity, a passion for empowering others, and a desire for innovation and progress. She encourages everyone to “scatter positivity like seeds,” reminding us to:

  • Smile at every face we meet
  • Be a beacon of hope, shining bright
  • Offer help without hesitation
  • Enfold struggling souls in a warm, stress-reducing hug

Through these small acts of kindness, Srujana believes we can create a ripple effect of compassion, empathy, and understanding, transforming the world into a haven of love and positivity. Her relentless efforts not only contribute to environmental conservation but also inspire others to take individual actions toward a sustainable future.

Srujana’s Legacy of Love and Dedication

Srujana’s story is a powerful reminder of the impact one person can have when driven by passion and sustained by love. Her journey continues to inspire many, encouraging us to recognize the unsung heroes in our own lives and to take meaningful steps to create positive change in our communities and beyond.
