NURTURE A CHILD. NURTURE A TREE. NURTURE THE EARTH.

When we teach a child to plant a sapling, we plant something far greater than a tree we plant care....Responsibility and Love for Mother Earth.

This 26th August, children of Mera Sahara NGO will come foward to plant trees, learn about nature, learn about ecosystems and take their first steps towards becoming 'Guardians of a Greener Earth.'

Because a greener tomorrow begins with children who understand, love and nurture the Earth today.

Smaller Hands. Greener Future. Stronger Tomorrow.

Meet Your Jury | Photowaah 2.0

Meet Vijender Prakash, Photographer a Delhi-based photographer and entrepreneur with over 35 years of experience capturing India’s diverse beauty, from the deserts of Rajasthan to the wilderness of the Northeast. Vijender prakash photography

His work reflects a deep connection with his subjects—people, wildlife, and landscapes—shaped by a lifelong passion for storytelling through the lens.

Ladakh holds a special place in Vijender’s heart. Through repeated journeys, he has developed a profound connection with its landscape and culture, capturing its rugged charm and serene beauty. One defining moment came during an aerial expedition over the Himalayan glaciers, where a fierce blizzard tested his limits and deepened his reverence for photography and resilience.

For Vijender, photography is more than art—it is a path of self-discovery, patience, and courage, where every image becomes an intimate dialogue between artist and nature.

As a jury member of Photowaah 2.0, Vijender brings his creative vision, eye for detail, and soul for the click to the competition.
