According to media sources, Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav and Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs Manohar Lal today presided over the Launch of the Matri Van Initiative in Gurugram – a theme-based Urban Forest spread over 750 acres in the Aravalli Hill area.
Addressing the occasion, Mr Lal said that Carbon emissions have become the foremost global challenge for mankind. Besides using carbon capture technology to fight this challenge, the Minister encouraged citizens to imbibe the tradition of preventing deforestation and planting more trees to become Van Mitras. He added that metro cities like Gurugram must become an example for others in pioneering initiatives like green buildings, eco-tourism through wildlife safaris, theme-based biodiversity parks etc.
Further speaking on the occasion, Union Minister Bhupender Yadav noted that the Matri van green cover will act as a heart and lungs for the whole of Delhi-NCR. He said that this project would provide the public, including young and senior citizens alike, a serene environment to lead a healthy and stress-free life.
The Matri Van initiative – a theme-based urban forest dedicated to nurturing generations through mother-nature-inspired green efforts – would be developed in an area of 750 acres in the Aravalli Hill area, along the Gurugram-Faridabad Road. It is envisioned as a unique ecological and cultural space that will contribute to biodiversity, public well-being, and urban sustainability.
