I just get to know about the “forest Man of india” and feeling proud that what he did and doing currently.So i thought i should share this realistic story with you all.
Doing the impossible
65-year old JADAV PAYEING was conferred the title"The Forest Man in Delhi by government of India(over 1300 acres) into a beautiful forest all by himself.It took close to 30 years for land to turn into a forest and Jadav is protecting about it.He started planting in 1979 and continuing doing that even today.
According to wild life experts the forest now attracts 80% of the world's migratory birds has been declared by wildlife experts.It is officially called Molai forest". The locals call it "Molai" as a tribute to Jadav. He says,"as a child,I was fair and had pink cheeks just like the winter radish.So my pet name was Mola(radish in the local language)". As I grew up and started planting trees,People started calling it Mola'r haabi(Mola's forest). From there ,someone conveniently made it Molai forest.Jadav however refuses to take credits.Trees are the lifeline of the forest. They don't just give us shade and oxygen.They feed birds and animals and balance our Eco system.If there is no life left,what is the use of all the advancements we have made???
An erosion of 10km happened and Mohgorh khati turned into a desert. I wanted a forest here so I build a boat and started planting saplings.People first thought I was crazy.But i did not give up on the saplings and came back every day to see their progress.My boat is as old as my forest.I still carry saplings in it every day.US school curriculum introduced a chapter and teaches the life story of Forest Man.Isn't it a proud moment??
As you all can see in the pictures a one man can create a huge forest.If one person alone can do this then wouldn't we??He give his full life for us by planting trees continuously.So we can also do the same atleast once a month??? or year?? choice is yours but please be consider this point of mine and he is inspiration for us.As in this pandemic we already realized much about the importance of OXYGEN but we didn't do anything regarding this till now.But we can do it.If one man can grow as much plant then why shouldn't us??
