In memory of this wonderful human being, Exnora and SPB Charitable Foundation are asking people to plant a tree in SPB’s and hash Tag it #ExnoraSPBTreeChallege and challenging their friends to do the same on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Youtube, or any other platform of their choice.
Speaking at the event, Hon’ble Nawab Mohammed Abdul Ali shared his pleasant memories with SPB and said that SPB has sung over 50,000 songs and hoped that this tree plantation challenge can help plant at least 50,000 trees. It will bring fond memories of the great singer and also help the environment said the Nawab.

Exnora has done a lot for the local communities and with the support of communities. This will be a cornerstone project for us to showcase”.
AR Reihana, Chairman of Exnora and Music Composer said “SPB lives in our hearts via his songs and now via the trees we plant. A tree that gives us shade gives us fresh air and saves the environment is a classic tribute to SPB whose songs give us energy and his humbleness the path to life”.
