Discover how an engineer found purpose and prosperity by planting over 1,800 trees with Cauvery Calling. These trees are more than just timber - they’re a legacy in the making.

Life often surprises us in unexpected ways, and for Sabari Rani engineer-turned-farmer, it came in the form of trees - thousands of them.


Let’s hear from Sabari Rani, in her own words:


For years, my life followed a predictable rhythm: running a small factory and managing the day-to-day grind. Despite my accomplishments, something was missing. Monotony crept in, and I found myself searching for deeper purpose and fulfillment.


That’s when I stumbled upon Cauvery Calling, a movement that doesn’t just promote planting trees but transforms lives and landscapes. Encouraged by friends, I reached out to their team, and everything changed.


A New Beginning on My Land

The experts at Cauvery Calling visited my farm, carefully analyzed the soil, and recommended trees uniquely suited to the land. With their guidance, I planted:


600 Sandalwood trees
300 Red Sandal trees
200 Rosewood trees
500 Teak trees
100 Black Murdah trees
150 Arjuna trees


It has been five years since these saplings took root. Watching them grow brings me immense happiness and a deep sense of satisfaction.


Trees: A Legacy and a Lifeline


“These trees are like a fixed deposit in the bank,” I often tell my friends. Unlike money, they grow in value year after year. With the potential for even one tree to yield ₹1 lakh in the future, the financial security they promise is incredible.


And it doesn’t stop there. The team suggested intercropping pepper on these trees, which will start generating a steady annual income in just two more years. This dual benefit of immediate and long-term revenue feels like a farmer’s dream come true.


More Than Just Farming

What started as a farming experiment has turned into a journey of transformation. The trees stand tall as a testament to the power of thoughtful planning, expert guidance, and faith in nature. For me, they symbolize stability, abundance, and a brighter future.


Today, my farm is not just a piece of land; it’s a legacy in the making. It’s proof that with the right support, anyone can transition from monotony to meaning, from soil to soul.


If you’re wondering whether you can start your journey, my advice is simple: Don’t wait. Cauvery Calling is there to guide you every step of the way.
