Write Five Slogans on ‘Van Mahotsav’.
Answer: M.S. Randhawa organised the first Indian national tree plantation week from July 20 to July 27, 1947. Randhawa was inspired by ideas for a forest week, a tree festival, or arbour days in other countries. The first event on July 20, 1947, was the planting of Bauhinia saplings by Khurshid Ahmad Khan, commissioner of Delhi, in the morning, followed by another ceremony at the Purana Qila led by Nehru, Vice President of the Provisional Government. Another event, Ladies Day, involved planting at the Qutub Minar, with participants including Lady Mountbatten. Nehru stated, “it surprised him that no interest had been shown in tree plantation so far.”
