With the onset of the upcoming rainy season in Ayodhya, the focus is on environmental protection, linking the nursery campaign with faith. This year, a large-scale campaign will be launched, emphasising the planting of fruit trees. 

The Forest Department officers are making Ayodhya, the beautiful Ramnagari, green by planting Banyan, Peepal, and Pakad trees, considered sacred in Hinduism.

Taking a step towards better nature and the environment, the UP government has launched this massive green mission.

Ready for the green initiative

The preparation of saplings for Peepal, Pakad, Shami, Neem, and Amla trees is taking place on a massive scale, focusing on species with significant religious value. These trees are being prepared on a large scale in the Kumar Ganj Forest Range, located 45 kilometres south of Ayodhya. The plants are being prepared and cared for in the facility, ensuring their healthy growth. 

The Divisional Forest Officer has stated that the Forest Department plans to plant 16 lakh saplings in the entire district this year, and other departments are also expected to plant trees. However, no record of the number of trees to be planted by other departments has been received yet.

Inspection ongoing for the best outcome

On Friday, the Sub-Divisional Forest Officer, Ayodhya, KN Sudhir, inspected the plants prepared in the nurseries and gave necessary guidelines to the Regional Forest Officer, PK Srivastava. Sharing the insights, he emphasised the mission of this campaign. The focus is on preparing trees like Peepal, Banyan, Pakad, Neem, Amla, and Shami, which are important in the environmental sector and religious beliefs.

This initiative to plant Banyan, Peepal, Pakad, Neem, Amla, and Shami trees is an effort to promote environmental protection and link it with faith. The Forest Department officers are diligently preparing saplings for the upcoming campaign. 

Conclusion

The emphasis on planting fruit trees will help the environment and provide food for the local community. Apart from this, owing to the environmental protection and faith-based links planting these trees have multiple benefits, including enriching Ayodhya’s natural heritage for future generations.
