Chhatarpur ( Madhya Pradesh ): The Brahma Kumaris of Chhatarpur Centre arranged a plantation program for the public in which 1,100 saplings were planted all over the district in collaboration with the local Dainik Bhaskar organization. This program was a part of the “My India, Green India” campaign launched by the Brahma Kumaris.
Badamalehra MLA Pradyumna Singh Lodhi took part in the plantation drive in Ghuwara.
The plantation was done in areas including Muktidham on Sagar Road, the Janrai Toriya Temple, the Engineering College, Sumati Academy, the Christian English School, the Hanuman Toriya Temple, the Nirvana Foundation Karunalay, Sri Sri 1008 JagdIsh Swamy Temple and many such establishments. This plantation venture initiated by the Brahma Kumaris is being praised and appreciated all over the district.
BK Shailaja, the Centre in Charge, speaking on the Environment said, “The main cause of imbalance in the atmosphere and global warming is the cutting of trees. We receive oxygen for our life from trees. Therefore, we must plant more and more saplings.” She said, “We selected an enclosed campus in all the areas for plantation, protected from animals, where the land is fertile and the required water is available.”
While making people aware of the importance of trees for a healthy Environment, she said that the responsibility to care of the saplings until they grow well is entrusted to local organizations.
She said that all 1100 saplings so far planted were being provided free of cost, especially by the cooperation of Dr. Rajesh Agrawal awardee of the “Vruksha Mitra” title.
She further said that these plantation programs were also organised for public awareness, with cooperation of all the Brahma Kumaris Centres all over the District.
