Jaipur: The ‘Aapno Jaipur Harit Sangam – Ek Ped Purvajon Ke Naam’ (One Tree in the Name of Ancestors) programme was inaugurated in Jaipur with a message of environmental conservation, plantation and collective responsibility towards protecting nature.
Deputy Chief Minister Diya Kumari formally inaugurated the programme, which aims to encourage citizens to actively participate in environmental conservation and contribute towards increasing green cover in the state.
During the programme, Diya Kumari took information about the initiatives being undertaken for environmental protection and discussed the objectives of the Harit Sangam campaign. She emphasised that protecting the environment cannot be considered the responsibility of any single individual, organisation or government department.
According to Diya Kumari, environmental protection is a collective responsibility of every section of society. She encouraged people to become part of initiatives aimed at conserving nature and promoting greenery in their surroundings.
The ‘Ek Ped Purvajon Ke Naam’ initiative also seeks to connect environmental conservation with family and social values by encouraging people to plant trees in the memory and name of their ancestors. The campaign is intended to create greater public participation in plantation and strengthen awareness about the importance of trees and a sustainable environment.
