Fighter for Green: Hari Chandana's Mission to Make India Sustainable

Climate change is the biggest threat facing humanity today. As global temperatures rise, we are already witnessing the impacts – from melting glaciers to raging wildfires. The need for sustainability has never been more urgent. #SheInspiresUs

Leading the sustainability revolution in India is acclaimed IAS officer Hari Chandana. Through her innovative governance initiatives, this eco-warrior is on a mission to make India greener. #HariChandana

As an administrative dynamo who has served across various departments, Chandana has spearheaded impactful green projects. Her pioneering work as Additional Commissioner of GHMC is especially noteworthy. #SheInspiresUs

From reviving lakes to recycling plastic into roads, Chandana’s projects have sustainably transformed Hyderabad. The ISO 14001 certified green buildings constructed under her watch are energy efficient. Drone-based mosquito control and lake deweeding programs pioneered by her also protect ecology. #HariChandana

Chandana’s pet project, the one-of-a-kind pet park with veterinary services has made the city more eco-friendly for its furry residents. The self-sustaining Loo Cafes providing amenities for urban poor and the She Toilets for women have also enhanced public sanitation. #FighterForever

As District Magistrate of Naryanpet, Chandana enabled mobile telemedicine services and online sales platforms for rural entrepreneurs. Her digging up and restoration of ancient stepwells was instrumental in water conservation. #Fighter #HariChandana

Currently, as Telangana’s Food Safety and AYUSH Director, Chandana is working to ensure the health safety and nutritional security for the state’s residents. She is also promoting alternative medicinal systems towards preventative healthcare.

Be it through administrative leadership or community engagement, Chandana has undertaken multifaceted efforts to drive sustainability, whether in urban planning or healthcare access or indigenous wellness promotion. She epitomizes how impactful governance can uplift societies. #SheInspiresUs

Much like the daredevil star pilot played by Deepika Padukone in upcoming film Fighter, Chandana is also a fighter jetting across different roles and sectors to champion the green cause. A true game changer, Chandana’s mission is to make India sustainable through localized interventions that can be scaled nationally. #Fighter

Chandana’s journey teaches how each of us can make a difference through our actions. Her creative governance inspiring sustainable development can motivate other leaders to replicate similar models. Because India’s green future will depend on many such #FighterForever warriors who lead the charge today. #HariChandana #SheInspiresUs
