It gives me immense pleasure to note that the Department of Environment & Forests, A&N Administration is celebrating “Van Mahotsav” with great enthusiasm during the months of July to August this year with active involvement of people of these Islands.
Van Mahotsav - the festival of tree planting owes its origin to the great visionary Late K.M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Food & Agriculture who launched the programme in 1950 with the slogan “Tree means water, water means bread and bread is life”.
