Event Summary

On the occasion of India's 80th Independence Day, the India — Uttar Pradesh government announced the establishment of 'Vande Mataram Vatika' in all 75 districts. This initiative, under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, commemorates the 150th anniversary of the national song 'Vande Mataram' by planting 150 saplings in each district. The Forest Department will develop these gardens with shady, fruit-bearing, and ecologically beneficial species, with local communities responsible for their upkeep. The program aims to promote patriotism and environmental conservation through widespread public participation, involving students, NGOs, freedom fighters' families, and government officials. The existing Vatika at Kukrail Picnic Spot in Lucknow will be expanded, featuring an Ashoka Chakra with Ashoka saplings planted along its 24 spokes.
