Abohar: The Brahma Kumaris organization has launched an environmental protection programme to plant 75 lakh saplings by 75 lakh people in 75 days across the country. It was inaugurated by Kalraj Mishra, Governor of Rajasthan by planting a sapling at Gyan Sarovar.
Governor Kalraj Mishra stressed on the formulation of eco-friendly policies based on the Sanatan Indian vision of nature conservation to promote balanced development. He said that scientific development is meaningful only as long as it does not adversely affect the environment and ecological balance. That is why we should live life in harmony with nature.
Mishra said that the main cause of the environmental crisis is to ignore the “Panchabhuta” elements by distancing oneself from nature. Efforts to accelerate development by neglecting nature and consumerism have called for natural and biological disasters.(SUBHEAD)
