It brings great joy to announce that the Department of Environment & Forests, Andaman and Nicobar Administration is commemorating the "75th Van Mahotsav" or "The Festival of Trees" throughout July 2024. This celebration involves active participation from the local community to underscore the importance of forests in our daily lives.
Initially, trees held a revered and sacred place in our cultural ethos. However, over time, complacency set in, prompting the inception of Van Mahotsav. This annual tree planting festival occurs every July and has gained traction among people who now recognize the critical role of tree planting in maintaining a green and healthy planet. Millions of saplings are planted nationwide each year during this festival, yet more efforts are needed to combat global warming effectively.
