Ente Thaikunju was an interactive exhibition organized to promote the "adapt a tree" concept with emphasis on fostering maternal instinct and parental affection towards trees. The exhibition showcased a helpless mother tree waiting for someone to come forward and adopt her saplings. The installation hopes to inspire people to adopt and motivate them to involve themselves in the care and nourishment of their "thaikunju".
Quotes and media reports from inspiring individuals like Kuruppu sir, Sugathakumari teacher, Beypore sultan, C Radhakrishnan and others are also displayed. A green partnership with the Kerala Social Forestry Department made saplings available at the exhibition itself.
