Van Mahotsav

Van Mahotsav, a week-long festival, is being celebrated in different parts of India.

It is usually celebrated between 1 July to 7 July.

Programmes like screening of short films and documentaries, seminars and exhibition, painting and poster competitions are organised to mark the occasion.

About Van Mahotsav:

Van Mahotsav began in 1950, with a tree plantation drive, in which national leaders participated.

The festival of tree plantation was started by Dr. K.M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Agriculture and Food to create enthusiasm among masses for forest conservation and planting trees.

Van Mahotsav is usually observed in the first week of July every year and is celebrated on different days in different parts of India.

The objective behind celebrating Van Mahotsav is to keep local people involved in plantation drives and spread environmental awareness.
