This is his speech that we propose to our readers.
I am Dr. Raj Phanden Environmental activist from India, on a mission titled – « Wheels for Green » also known as Cycle Baba, World Bicycle Traveler. I started back in Sept. 2016 from India on a bicycle only to travel across the Globe to create awareness on Global warming Climate change and its effect on the human race. Encourage Plantation, Promote Ayurveda and Indian Culture. So far, I have covered 78 countries on my bicycle in the last 6+ years.
I am an Ayurvedic doctor (M.D) by Education and have practiced almost for a decade in India, and during that tenure I have noticed that people at very early age of 30-35 are prone to cancer disease and other life threatening conditions and are not taking Global Warming seriously. Global Warming is the major reason behind it and making it even worse day by day. There is a need to spread awareness to protect the environment to ensure that the future generation has access to good health and a clean environment. To make people around the world aware of Global Warming, Climate Change, I have started my journey on a bicycle to spread the message all over the world so that people can be more aware of the Clean Environment. Beginning my journey from my hometown, Bhuna a small village in the district of Fatehabad in Haryana.

I have also been conducting seminars in schools and colleges to create awareness to save our planet Earth and make it Greener with passing days. While doing the above mentioned works, I am also trying to spread the awareness of our ancient practice and the most effective treatment to all illness – Ayurveda & Yoga amongst the youth, so that the upcoming generation is equipped with an understanding of how it works and prefer our indigenous treatment
