On 26 July 2025, GES was honored with the Environment Excellence Award (NGO category) by the VNM TV for its outstanding contributions to environmental protection and awareness over the last 30 years. The award was graciously presented by Her Highness Shubhangini Raje Gaekwad to the GES team, recognizing its consistent work in ecosystem restoration, biodiversity conservation, and environmental education. The award applauds more than GES’s achievements. It honors the ethos that has guided every decision, that protecting the planet is inseparable from uplifting the people who depend on it. It honors the story of a journey that began in the soil, was nurtured by conviction, and now blooms as a promise to future generations to keep the roots strong and the canopy ever-widening.
