On the occasion of World Environment Day and the birthday of Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath Ji, Member of the Legislative Council (Lucknow Graduate Constituency), Awanish Kumar Singh, joined teachers and Shiksha Mitras in a tree plantation drive in Lucknow. The initiative formed part of a statewide campaign being undertaken by educators and Shiksha Mitras across Uttar Pradesh to express gratitude to the Hon’ble Chief Minister while reinforcing the collective commitment towards environmental protection and sustainable development.
The plantation drive highlighted the importance of preserving natural resources, promoting ecological balance, and contributing to the vision of a greener and cleaner Uttar Pradesh. Participants reiterated that tree plantation is not merely a ceremonial activity but a long-term commitment towards securing a healthy and sustainable future for generations to come.
Addressing the gathering, Awanish Kumar Singh said, “The environment is not merely a part of nature. It is the very foundation of our existence. Clean air, pure water, greenery, and biodiversity are essential for ensuring a safe and healthy life. Today, rising pollution, indiscriminate tree felling, and the excessive exploitation of natural resources have emerged as serious challenges to environmental sustainability. World Environment Day reminds us that environmental conservation is not the responsibility of governments alone. It is a duty that belongs to each one of us. If every individual plants a tree, conserves water, reduces the use of plastic, and remains committed to cleanliness, we can leave behind a safer, healthier, and more sustainable planet for future generations.”
On the occasion, citizens were encouraged to actively participate in plantation drives and ensure the protection and nurturing of planted saplings, recognising that environmental stewardship requires sustained efforts beyond a single day of observance.
The programme was attended by Shri Sushil Kumar Yadav, State General Secretary, Uttar Pradesh Primary Shiksha Mitra Sangh; Shri Anand Singh, State Secretary; Shri Mohammad Asif, District In-charge, Lucknow; Shri Harinam Singh, District President, Lucknow; Shri B.L. Yadav, District Patron; Dr. Ashutosh Kumar, District President, UTA Barabanki; Shri Kuldeep Patel, President, Primary Teachers’ Association, Hark; Shri Anil Kumar, General Secretary, Junior Teachers’ Association, Sirauli Gauspur; along with several teachers and Shiksha Mitras.
