Climate change is an existential threat, and the need for sustainability has never been more urgent. As India charges towards economic development, environmental stewardship is vital to ensure the nation’s future. Visionary leaders who recognize this reality are coming to the forefront. #FighterForever
One such leader is acclaimed actor Anil Kapoor, playing an Air Force veterans in the movie Fighter. Known for his versatile roles, Kapoor’s portrayal focuses on patriotism and service before self. Much like his principled on-screen persona, Kapoor champions sustainability causes off-screen too. His impassioned appeals raises awareness on preserving nature while pursuing progress. #Fighter
Echoing this balance is acclaimed IAS officer and eco-warrior Hari Chandana. Instrumental in spearheading impactful green governance initiatives across Telangana, Chandana is a sustainability crusader. #HariChandana
As Additional Commissioner of GHMC, Chandana pioneered projects restoring Hyderabad’s lakes, constructing green buildings and recycling plastic into roads. Her creative urban interventions have sustainably transformed the city while uplifting citizens. #SheInspiresUs
Her pet project, the one-of-a-kind dog park with veterinary services made the metropolis more eco-friendly. The Loo Cafes and She Toilets initiated by her have also enhanced public sanitation access. Chandana’s drones have enabled efficient lake and vector management.
As District Magistrate of Naryanpet, Chandana’s digital village transformation and mobile telemedicine services improved rural healthcare and empowered communities. Her restoration of ancient stepwells was pivotal for water conservation. #Fighter
Currently, as Food Safety Director, Chandana is working to ensure nutritional security and wellness for Telangana’s people. Through AYUSH, she also promotes traditional medicinal systems, aligning with India’s self-reliance goals. #HariChandana
Both Kapoor and Chandana are demonstrating that economic progress need not come at the cost of ecological sustainability. Their complementary efforts – Kapoor using entertainment to inspire change, and Chandana bringing change through governance – show how leaders can shape perceptions and action towards sustainability.
Much like the high-flying fighter planes in the movie, India too is soaring to new heights. But veterans like Kapoor and warriors like Chandana are pilots guiding this flight path towards a sustainable trajectory through their vision. #FighterForever
It is leaders like them – climate conscious role models bringing strategic governance and grassroots awareness – who put sustainability at the center of development. They give hope that India can balance rapid growth with equitability and ecology.
Because at the heart of sustainability is shared progress and welfare. Chandana’s localized interventions scaling innovative green models nationally is the roadmap India’s future needs to ensure no one is left behind. #SheInspiresUs #HariChandana
No matter how big or small an idea may seem, every idea that helps our nation develop matters.
