Addressing the gathering, he stated that Matritva Van will not only emerge as a green space but also stand as a \u201cpowerful symbol of emotional bonding with nature\u201d and evolve into a centre for environmental awareness in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by the Jashpur division, the Matritva Van spans nearly two acres and features plantation of more than 400 saplings of diverse species. The initiative reflects a unique blend of \u201cenvironmental conservation and social sensitivity\u201d. On this occasion, under the \u201cEk Ped Maa Ke Naam\u201d campaign, public representatives planted saplings in the name of their mothers. This initiative conveys a meaningful message of strengthening the \u201cemotional connection between family values and nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his address, the Chief Minister emphasised that a mother is the first teacher in one\u2019s life and holds the highest place in society. Through the \u201cEk Ped Maa Ke Naam\u201d campaign, the government is making a sincere effort to link respect for mothers with nature in a \u201cmeaningful and socially enriching way.\u201d He added that such initiatives will not only raise awareness about environmental conservation among future generations but also reinforce core social values. He further noted that initiatives like Matritva Van significantly expand green cover while nurturing a sense of \u201ccollective responsibility and environmental consciousness\u201d within society.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Matritva Van project, saplings with ecological and medicinal importance have been carefully selected. These include species such as Tecoma, Jarul, Sita Ashok, Gulmohar, Lakshmi Taru, Amla, Bija, Sindoor, Nagkesar, Arjun, and Jamun. These plants will help maintain ecological balance while also playing a vital role in \u201cbiodiversity conservation and future medicinal use.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The primary objective of establishing Matritva Van is to enhance public awareness about environmental conservation, express respect for mothers through nature, and instil a sense of sensitivity and responsibility among the younger generation. The initiative reflects the vision of \u201cHar Ghar Ek Ped, Har Ped Mein Maa Ki Mamta,\u201d marking an important step towards sustainable development.<\/p>\n<p>Public representatives and officials present at the event appreciated the initiative, describing it as \u201cinspiring for both society and the environment\u201d.
