CM Shri Chouhan planted Kachnar and Neem saplings in Smart City Garden

Chief Minister Shri Shivraj Singh Chouhan planted Neem and Kachnar saplings in Smart Udyan today. Workers of Avani Welfare Society, Bhopal also took part in the plantation programme along with Chief Minister Shri Chouhan. By planting saplings every day, Chief Minister Shri Chouhan is ensuring the participation of the people working in the field of environmental protection at individual level in order to encourage participation of the society.

Avani Welfare Society workers Shri Vijay Kumar Gupta, Shri J.C. Chandrasekaran, Smt. Roopa Chandrasekaran and Shri Shiv Pathak informed Chief Minister Shri Chouhan that their organization is working in the field of environment and bird conservation for the last 11 years. Nests for birds are made by the organization along with plantation of trees. The organization distributes them free of cost by making seed balls from soil-dung manure and seeds of different species.

Wherever plantation is done by the organization, some person is entrusted with the responsibility of protecting the trees, so that the plants grow into trees and the environment can be protected. No financial assistance is taken by the organization in any way. The members of the organization work only with mutual cooperation. So far 25 thousand saplings have been planted by Avani Welfare Society, and about one lakh seed balls and one thousand nests have been distributed free of cost.

The Kachnar planted today is a beautiful flowering tree. Many trees and plants are naturally full of medicinal properties, Kachnar is one of them. The leaves, stem and flowers of this tree, which are laden with flowers after mid-March, are all useful. Kachnar is counted among beautiful and useful trees. Similarly, neem rich in antibiotic elements is known as the supreme medicine. Neem may be bitter in taste, but its benefits are like nectar. Neem is also very useful from environmental point of view.
