Amer Inaugurates 'Atal Smriti Van,' Women Champion Environmental Protection

BJP Rajya Sabha MP Satish Poonia addressed the gathering, emphasizing the pivotal role of women in society and the environment. He highlighted how various government schemes have significantly empowered women across the nation.

Empowering Women Through Key Initiatives

Poonia pointed to schemes such as Ujjwala, Ayushman, Awas, Jan-Dhan, and 'Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao' (Save Girl Child, Educate Girl Child) as instrumental in bolstering women's positions. These programs, he noted, have provided crucial support and opportunities.

He lauded the commitment of mothers, sisters, and daughters who have embraced the resolution to make the planet lush and green. Poonia described this initiative as a unique program, spanning from local panchayats to the district council and the entire state.

A Deep-Rooted Commitment to Earth's Care

Drawing from ancient scriptures, Poonia reminded attendees that “one tree is equivalent to 100 sons.” He underscored the shared responsibility of everyone to protect, maintain, honor, and adorn our planet.

The naming of 'Atal Smriti Van' on the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a moment of pride, according to Poonia. He recalled Vajpayee's monumental contributions, including making India a nuclear-powered nation and his historic work for farmers and rural development.

Poonia expressed confidence that this newly established forest in Amer would become a magnificent landmark, attracting visitors from far and wide. The inaugural event saw a large turnout, including public representatives like Diya Kumari and numerous common citizens.
