Answer 2

Answer

Van Mahotsav is an annual pan-Indian tree planting festival, occupying a week in the month of July. During this event millions of trees are planted.

It was initiated in 1950 by K. M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Agriculture and Food to create an enthusiasm in the mind of the populace for the conservation of forests and planting of trees.

The main objectives of the planting of trees during Van Mahotsav are to:

• Provide fuel

• Increase production of fruits and add to the potential food resources of the country.

• Help creation of shelter-belts around agricultural fields to increase their productivity.
