Trees have been an integral part of our Indian culture and many festivals related to trees are celebrated in all parts of our country. Van Mahotsav is a weeklong festival celebrated with the purpose of preserving our mother earth. It was started in 1950 by K. M. Munshi, the then Union Minster for Agriculture and Food to create enthusiasm among masses for forest conservation and planting trees. This year the Social Forestry Division, Maharashtra had pledged to plant 3 crore trees throughout the state.
