The proposal is interesting and unique. Please make the following changes to strengthen the proposal.

1. Describe if each of the Indian state governments would need to agree to support the student activities in their state. If so, how will the author elicit this support from the state governments?

Response to judges wondering about overall impact on climate mitigation-

Respected Judges,

1- Wasted opportunity to increase the biodiversity of fruit trees remedied using fruit seeds that are wasted.

2- @ 1% tree formation we get 46 billion fruit trees, sequester carbon 10 billion tons; But, U N E P campaigns for One Billion !!! 

3- Money & space for storage not needed as seeds are stored in homes. Decentralized collection & storage by mass participation eliminates need for great storage space & funds needed for building such space saving ultimately the carbon along with money.

4- Mass participation to generate awareness, together with collection of fruit-seeds for growing fruit trees.

5- More FRUITS available free of cost for anyone to eat. Improved Nutrition Worldwide. Get more fruit seeds!

6- So Carbon Sequestration together with Improved Nutrition as well as increased raw material in form of fruits & seeds at a massive level will be the impact,

8- Prevention of soil erosion, replenishments of ground water due to percolation along the tree root system.

9- Increase in the capacities for grassroots dialog about climate facilitates mass introduction of other measures.

10- Increased capacities for cooperation for community benefits, less strife & violence will help the climate better.

These in brief are the ways in which the climate would be beneficially impacted.
