In an inspiring pivot from birthday norms, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has invited his vast network of admirers to celebrate March 5 by planting trees and sharing snapshots. The message, delivered through a compelling X video, redefines festivity around environmental stewardship, a cause Chouhan champions relentlessly.
‘Life’s success stems from noble pursuits,’ the minister philosophized, disclosing his ritual of daily sapling plantation over the last five years. Steering clear of opulent displays – no shawls, fruits, or posters – he seeks tangible impact: one tree per celebrant, photographed and forwarded.
Chouhan poetically eulogized trees as indispensable: vital for human survival, sanctuaries for insects and avians, providers for livestock, and nature’s masterpieces. He hailed planting as the supreme service, beckoning all to perpetuate it yearly.
Countering Youth Congress’s AI Summit ruckus on farm policies, Chouhan, blending his farmer roots with ministerial authority, endorsed the agreements as pro-farmer under Modi’s vision. He slammed misinformation peddlers and equated the protesters’ bare-act to national dishonor.
