Today, as we witness the alarming impacts of global warming, the Tree Plantation Drive by Vishwa Jagriti Mission proves to be a crucial initiative in maintaining ecological balance and combating climate change.
Initiated in 2013, this noble drive is an annual event organised on the occasion of Ullas Parv, celebrating the birthday of HH Shri Sudhanshu Ji Maharaj. Known as Paryavaran Pakhwada, the 15-day event is organised by all 84 mandals across the country, during which thousands of trees are planted.
Trees play a significant role in our lives in many ways.
Here are some reasons highlighting the importance of tree plantations:
- Oxygen and air purification: Trees provide us with oxygen and absorb harmful pollutants, making our air cleaner and healthier to breathe.
- Food and nourishment: Trees offer us fruits, nuts, and other edible delights that sustain us and provide vital nutrients.
- Shelter and habitat: Trees provide a home for countless species of animals, insects, and microorganisms, supporting biodiversity and ecosystems.
- Climate regulation: Trees help regulate the climate by absorbing carbon dioxide, mitigating the effects of climate change.
- Emotional and spiritual connection: Trees have a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being, offering shade, comfort, and a sense of connection to nature.
- Inspiration and wisdom: Trees have been a source of inspiration for art, literature, and philosophy throughout human history, symbolising strength, resilience, and wisdom.
- Soil conservation and water cycles: Tree roots hold soil in place, preventing erosion, and help regulate water cycles, maintaining healthy water sources.
- Medicinal properties: Trees have been a source of medicine for centuries, providing natural remedies for various ailments.
- Aesthetic beauty: Trees add beauty and character to our surroundings, creating stunning landscapes and scenic vistas.
- Symbolism and cultural significance: Trees hold cultural, spiritual, and symbolic meanings in many societies, representing life, growth, and renewal.
