Surat (Gujarat) Aug 11, 2020 (UNI/News wire India) : Our ancient saints and scriptures have stressed the importance of trees and encouraged their plantation. Today, in the fast race of development, we have often neglected nature. But amongst us is a person who lives and breathes his life for trees. Popularly known as the Greenman, Shr. Viral Desai, an environmentalist and a successful businessman from Surat has started the 'Tree Ganesha, Each One Plant One' movement.' For this, he sincerely appeals to Indians all over the world to plant trees during the Ganesh Utsav celebrations.



Bal Gangadhar Tilak, one of the leaders of the Indian freedom movement revived the patriotic spirit of India by worshipping Lord Ganesha. He epitomised Ganesh Chaturthi festival as a symbol of nationalism. Inspired by Tilak, Viral Desai also wishes to convert the tree plantation movement into a mass movement for environment protection.



For the past few years, Viral Desai has been celebrating Ganesh Utsav with a special theme of 'Tree Ganesha,' by installing and doing puja of Ganesha in a tree to bring about environmental awareness. But this year, as part of the precautionary measures against the Corona epidemic, they are celebrating 'Tree Ganesha' differently. This is to avoid large gathering of people at one place. This year, they have appealed to all Indians residing anywhere in the world to plant only one tree near their home or other place during the Indian Ganesha festival. Even if we plant one tree per family, one can imagine the powerful impact it will have on the environment. This way we Indians can prove to the world how we care for Mother Nature.



Through his Hearts at Work Foundation, Viral Desai has started the 'Tree Ganesha, Each One Plant One' movement and it is worth mentioning that Indians living in Australia, America and Europe have pledged to join this movement in large numbers. Surprisingly, some youngsters from the Bohra community have also shown a positive response to the appeal made by Viral Desai and enthusiastically participated in this movement.
