The concept of this great festival for the nature lovers was first initiated by (Late) K.M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Food & Agriculture in the year 1950. It was the vision and wisdom of this great leader that the issue of environmental degradation, unless timely action is taken to prevent & restore, it may go beyond human control & threaten the survival of any living organisms on this earth planet. While survival & development of human being is important, it is also equally important to preserve the nature which is the only source of oxygen and other essentials required for our living.
