On the eve of Independence Day, the Yogi government is set to inaugurate Vande Mataram Vatikas in all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh. This initiative, part of the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign, aims to promote patriotism and environmental protection. A total of 150 saplings will be planted in each district, chosen to be shade-providing, fruit-bearing, and ecologically beneficial species suitable for local conditions.
The Forest Department has begun preparations for this, with each district selected to have its own Vande Mataram Vatika. Divisional Forest Officer Sitanshu Pandey announced that Kukrail Picnic Spot's Vatika will be expanded, with an Ashoka Chakra constructed and Ashoka saplings planted around its perimeter. Local volunteers, including retired and serving Indian Forest Service officers, students, and representatives from various community groups, will be involved in the plantation.
This initiative will be a lasting green heritage, symbolizing the nation's pride, commitment to nature conservation, and the spirit of collective participation.
