 RJS PBH Webinar on Sant Kabir's 625th Birth Anniversary and Environment Day

 On the occasion of World Accreditation Day, there will be Amrit Gatha of freedom on Sunday, 11th June.

A  Webinar was organised by Ram Janaki Sansthan,RJS Positive Media RJS PBH 06 on the eve of World Environment Day 2023 with focus on gardening and floriculture and on Possible Solutions to Pollution from Plastics. The Webinar was anchored by Sri Uday Kumar Manna with his characteristic visionary enthusiasm.

He said On the occasion of World Accreditation Day, there will be Amrit Gatha of freedom on Sunday, 11th June.

 The Webinar was hosted by Sri Ashok Kumar Malik, Poet and Ms Pratibha Dixit, Founder President, Mamta Sagar Foundation.  Experts invited were Ms Alka Singh, Principal and Dean of AA SPEE College of Horticulture, Navsari Agricultural University,  Gujarat and Shri Tillan Richharia  Sr. Journalist and Writer. There were other participants, who expressed their views and interacted with the experts, after welcome was accorded to them by Ms Pratibha Dixit. Shri Ashok Malik outlined in his introduction to the Webinar the existential urgency of tackling environmental pollution. He drew attention to the Prithvi Sukta and Aryani Sukta of the Vedas in which the Earth and Green Forest are addressed by the Vedic sages adoringly and philosophically.

The poet emphasised that we must not lose sight of the fact that the Earth is the only home we have and share with a diversity of life-forms: we should be all contributing to save our planet from environmental calamity

Dr. Alka Singh said that plants not only improve environment but also give us happiness and help release good hormones that are good for health. She demonstrated how manure is to be prepared and blended in flower pot, how the holes at pot- bottom are to be covered with earthen shards before filling with mixture of soil, leaf mould, and vernicompost, how much water is to be sprinkled and then how often to water them, taking care to avoid excess watering. The seeds that her students sowed belonged to the beautiful tree Pink Cassia, which is a well- known avenue tree. She also suggested growing indoor plants like money plant, Philodendron, Chlorophytum, snake plant, and also succulents like Sedum. Those who have sunshine in the balcony of their flat can grow Jasmine, Mogra, Hibiscus, etc. She informed that snake plant absorbs carbon dioxide at night. She also told that flowers of Hibiscus are rich in anti -oxidants and can be used in tea. Another beautiful climber suggested by her is the well -known Madhu Malti also known by the name of Har Gauri; besides Allamanta and Portulaca were also said to be suitable plants. On being asked by Shri Manna Ji about growing flowers, Dr Alka suggested that since flowers are easily perishable, they should be grown  a few months before their demand for religious or other ceremonies, and keeping in view the proximity of the intended market; e. g. marigolds. Farmers in villages can supplement their income by growing even a small nursery with plants potted in kulhars which fetch a good price

Insects like mosquitoes can be avoided if water is not allowed to accumulate.  Dr  Alka 'S message to all :everyone should grow at least 5 plants

Several videos were sent by participants and other RJSians, viz. by Vijay Laxmi Kasautia who has adopted various kinds of containers, even tyre as flower pots after painting them artistically ; Sh Sujit Sahu 'S video showed the trees and plants of his locality

Shri R. K. Bishnoi has grown numerous plants on the terrace of his house in Delhi. He uses leaf mould which is light and requires less water and suited to terrace gardening. He prepares manure himself and has planted in the locality also where they have become big trees like semul. He says that people should not make excuses but sow plants despite constraints of space etc

Shri Ashish Ranjan whose birthday falls on World Environment Day sent a video of his visiting a nursery and buying a plant with flowers therefrom and planting it in a suitable pot: an excellent way of celebrating birthday.

Shri Tillan Richharia shared his knowledge on the issue in detail, from which the participants benefited a lot

One of the most interesting videos was from Ms Ranjana Ben Seth.  She has numerous plants in her home and surroundings are such that the g parakeets screech and hover over there making the onlookers glad

Sh. Richharia told about an interesting custom in Uttarakhand: the new bride at the time of leaving for the inlaws' home presents her friends with a plant for looking after; she also gives them a small amount for the purpose of tending the plant which she would meet on her return to parents after the lapse of an year. Superb!

There was during the course of the Webinar delightful mention of such festivals as Hareli, Vanmahotsava or such persons as Sir J. C. Bose who made us aware of the sensitivity of plants.

The Weimar succeeded in emphasising the necessity for everyone to contribute to saving the environment of the home planet.
