CM Yogi Adityanath plants sapling at CMS Gomti Nagar Campus to launch Environment Conservation Week
Lucknow, July 1 : Chief Minister Shri Yogi Adityanath launched
the State Government's Environmental Conservation Week by planting a sapling in
the premises of City Montessori School, Gomti Nagar Campus II. The Uttar
Pradesh Government is celebrating Environmental Conservation Week from 1st July
which aims at planting 30 crore saplings across the state during this week. The
Chief Minister planted a Peepal sapling at CMS Gomti Nagar premises to launch
this programme. Addressing the gathering on this occasion, the Chief Minister
said that this
campaign aims at creating greenery all around to provide clean air, water and
oxygen to the masses. He said starting this big project by planting a Peepal
tree has a special significance as Peepal gives maximum oxygen, shade, rainfall
and it is also the symbol of knowledge - The Bodhisatwa under which Mahatma
Buddha gained salvation. He thanked CMS Founders Dr Jagdish Gandhi and Dr
Bharti Gandhi for choosing this plant over all others for the purpose. He
commended CMS students for their commitment to social causes and for their
academic excellence.
In his welcome
address to the Chief Minister, Shri Yogi Adityanath, Dr Jagdish Gandhi said
that in his four years as the
Chief Minister of the state, he has converted Uttar Pradesh into Uttam (Best)
Pradesh. He said that today, Uttar Pradesh is leading in all fields - be it the
field of education, women security, economic or any other - Shri Yogi Ji's
contribution deserves great praise. Dr Gandhi said that during the next six
days, tree plantation will be done in all campuses of CMS wherein all kinds of
plants, specially the air purifying, medicinal and oxygen-giving plants will be
planted. CMS Founder-Director Dr Bharti Gandhi also expressed her views on
