Raipur. On the occasion of World Environment Day, Governor Shri Ramen Deka has called upon the citizens of the state to make a comprehensive campaign related to public participation in environment and water conservation. He said that in view of the increasing environmental challenges at present and possible water crisis in the future, every person should play an active role in the conservation of nature. According to him, protection of the environment is not only the responsibility of the governments, but participation of every section of the society is necessary in it.
There is a deep connection between water and forest, conservation of both is necessary
Governor Shri Deka said that water and forests are deeply interconnected. If water sources are protected, vegetation and greenery will also be preserved, whereas having sufficient trees strengthens the rain cycle and makes recharge of water sources possible. He said that to maintain the balance of nature, conservation of both water and forests is equally necessary.
Urge to join ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign
The Governor appealed to the citizens to actively participate in the ‘One Tree in the Name of Mother’ campaign and plant as many saplings as possible. He said that tree planting is not just an effort to improve the environment, but it is an important step towards ensuring a safe and healthy future for the coming generations. Trees play an important role in maintaining natural balance, promoting water conservation and protecting groundwater levels.
Increasing water crisis is a matter of concern, efforts will have to be made from now on
He said that the level of water sources is continuously decreasing in many areas of the country and the world, which is a matter of serious concern for the future. If effective measures for water conservation are not taken in time, the water crisis may become more serious in the coming years. He stressed on adopting measures like rain water harvesting, responsible use of water, conservation of traditional water sources and large scale plantation.
Tree plantation will be done in Lok Bhawan and Naya Raipur on World Environment Day
On the occasion of World Environment Day, Governor Shri Ramen Deka will participate in the tree plantation program at Lok Bhawan and the under construction Lok Bhawan complex in Naya Raipur. He said that environmental protection should not be limited to formal programs only, but it should be given the form of a comprehensive social campaign through public participation. He called upon the people of the state to take a pledge to plant more and more trees, save water and conserve nature.
Saplings distributed to Lok Bhawan employees
On the occasion of World Environment Day, the Governor presented saplings to the employees of Lok Bhavan and motivated them to plant trees in their homes and surrounding areas. On this occasion, special arrangements were also made for distribution of free saplings to the employees, so that more and more people could join the environment protection campaign.
