“Roots of Tomorrow” – A Poem by Yashika Bidhuri

Beneath the banyan’s ancient shade,
India dreams, yet stays awake—
To lift the earth with mindful hands,
And walk the path that progress makes.

We sow the seeds of cleaner skies,
In solar fields and winds that sing,
Where every village learns to rise,
On water’s gift and nature’s wing.

No child left out, no voice unheard,
Education blooms in every word.
Health and hope in every home,
No one must suffer all alone.

From Ladakh’s peaks to Kanyakumari’s shore,
We pledge to waste not, harm no more.
Plastic fades, and forests grow,
As rivers learn again to flow.

Equality is not a distant star—
It lives in every job, each jar
Of grain that feeds with dignity,
A future shaped by unity.

So let the world take note and see,
India walks sustainably.
With ancient roots and modern grace,
We build a fairer, greener place.
