Today is the last day of Van Mahotsav celebration which starts from 1st to 7th of July every year. In India, Van Mahotsav was started as a crusade with mighty ambitious aims for saving mother earth. But, unfortunately the festival has become more ceremonial and ritualistic. No care is seems to be taken for the planted trees after the festival is over. This is the point where we are to look into.
Van Mahotsav or the festival of trees was started by Dr. K.M. Munshi during 1950 to create enthusiasm among masses for forest conservation and planting of trees. Technically also, celebration of this festival in July has the beneficial due to onset of monsoon and the active nature of cambium in warm weather. It is not the celebration of planting trees but it is the festival of life, peace and hope. As part of the celebrations, millions of saplings are planted by people from all over the country and peoples are encouraged to plant trees than to cut them. The need of the hour for the country is the greenery. Thus, the preservation of nature has become an integral part of our life due to the present day numerous environmental challenges.
In its original aim, every citizen of India is expected to plant a sapling in the Van Mahotsav week. Also, awareness campaigns amongst people about the benefits and harmfulness of trees. It needs to be understood that trees are the best effective way to prevent global warming and reduce pollution. While planting the trees, we must go with indigenous native trees as they readily adapt to local climate, integrate into eco-system and have a high survival rate. Besides, such trees are helpful in supporting the whole of the biodiversity including our local birds, insects and animals. Once, the noted activist Amrita Devi Bishnoi said, "If a tree is saved even at cost of one's head, it's worth it."
During Van Mahotsav, for tree plantation, State Forest Department supply free saplings to schools, colleges and academic institutions, NGOs and welfare associations. With the celebration of Van Mahotsav, the country has gained immense national importance as millions of saplings are planted every year and thus our aim to achieve 33% forest cover has become nearer.
Humans with their greedy needs have cut down a large part of the forest cover at the rate about 4 billion trees per year globally. In the name of urbanization and globalization, trees are considered as the major stumbling block. For construction of flyovers, roads, railway tracks, hoardings and pavements, the easiest solution is to get rid of trees altogether. This declining number of trees has brought a major change in climate too. So there is a dire necessity of Van Mahotsav festival to restore the forest cover with plantation on non forest area in the country.
The planting of trees during the festival serves various purposes like providing alternative fuel, increase production of food resources, creates shelter for Biodiversity, creates wind- belts around fields to increase productivity, provide food for cattle, offers shade and decorative landscapes, helps conserves soil deterioration, etc. The festival educates the awareness of trees among masses and portrays the need of planting and tending of trees, as trees are the easiest and best ways to solve the global warming and reduce pollution.
Manipur has now becoming vulnerable to floods, droughts, heat waves, cyclones, and other natural disasters and this trend is increasing with each day. With continuous human intervention against nature, these disasters can no longer be considered 'Natural.' An immediate similar hilly example is the colossal event of Uttarakhand, which claimed the life of thousands of tourists and left many stranded. So now, Van Mahotsav festival has becomes a vital and beautiful initiative to save our environment, to which we owe a lot.
While we talk of conserving the nature, the most important factor that comes to mind is the population explosion. The famous Heidelberg Declaration signed by 425 prominent scientists, including 52 Nobel prize laureates at the end of the conference in Rio called overpopulation a 'plague' comparable to 'hunger and pandemics'.
India, one of the oldest civilizations in the world has remarkably diverse demographics. India is the second largest populous country in the world, with over 1.21 billion people as per the provisional census report published on 31-3-2011 which is more than a sixth of the world's population. The country is projected to be the world's most populous country by 2025, surpassing China. Now, India's population has touched the combined population of the United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Japan. Thus India supports 19.2% of the world population along with 21% global cattle though we have only 2.8% of the global geographical area
