Tradition In Mumbai Gets A Green Spin, Women Plant Banyan Saplings On Vat Savitri Pooja

Mumbai : To encourage tree plantation among citizens and increase the green cover in and around Mumbai, RPI Mahila Wing celebrated Vat Savitri Pooja by planting Banyan saplings

Unlike every year this time in Mumbai a RPI Mahila Wing, a dedicated to increasing green cover in the state, decided to give an eco-friendly spin to the tradition by planting Banyan trees. The citizens’ group planted banyan saplings on the Vat Savitri Pooja day .

Our focus is to have small patches of forest with rich bio-diversity, laden with flowers, fruits and bird nests and animals. To achieve this, we should work mainly on weekends. Every weekend we should visit the four lands we are focusing on and plant some trees and water them. To ensure trees are nurtured well, we should keep check on the green cover and water the plants regularly.
