The Green India Challenge (GIC) is starting a project in Telangana to plant lots of Jammi trees.
They want every village and temple to have one!
They've already planted thousands over the past four years.
The project officially started on Dasara.
The plan is to give away over 10,000 free Jammi tree saplings to villages and temples.
This project is led by Rajya Sabha MP Joginapally Santosh Kumar.
It connects with the Dasara festival, where people exchange Jammi leaves.
