As a relentless campaigner of social forestry for more than 5 decades, Ramaiah himself cannot recall when it all exactly started. He remembers vaguely that as a child he often saw his mother saving the seeds of vegetable plants for the next [[Growing season]]. Ever since he was a child, he has been collecting seeds of native trees such as [[Sandalwood]], [[Albizia saman]], [[Ficus religiosa]], [[Aegle marmelos]], [[Neolamarckia cadamba]] and many more in his mission to cover every barren land with trees. | As a relentless campaigner of social forestry for more than 5 decades, Ramaiah himself cannot recall when it all exactly started.

Ramaiah believes in seed as the solution to human well being. "Of all the species that consider the Earth as their home, the most exalted is the human being.

Protect the nature; protect everything created by God, for the posterity",<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.thebetterindia.com/21804/greening-the-earth-daripalli-ramaiah-man-with-a-mission/|title=How many trees have you planted?|website=The Better India}}</ref> says Daripalli Ramaiah. | Ramaiah believes in seed as the solution to human well being.
