How is vanamahotsavam conducted recently in our locality
Answers
Van Mahotsav is a festival that is celebrated in India since 1950 and is also known as Forest Day. The festival happens over a period of seven days and will be celebrated from July 1 to July 7. The festival aims at increasing the green cover of India. The day was established 66 years ago by the Ministry of Agriculture and has contributed in planting lakhs of trees in the entire country.
This year the Maharashtra state government has taken upon itself to give the state a green makeover. The recent Maharashtra drought acted as an eye-opener for the state. The lack of green cover or forests not only harms the ecosystem of the animals, but also disturbs the delicate balance of nature. Droughts and floods are a great indicator of this disturbance.
