Guru Nanak Said Nature Brings God Closer to Us :Punjab Governments’s Contribution in Making The Earth a Greener Place

Punjab Government’s  initiative to plant saplings on non-forest land in every village across the state will go a long way in making the planet a greener place.

PUNJAB: Founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev said nature is the manifestation of God. At the time when the followers of the faith were gearing up to celebrate the Guru’s 550th birth anniversary, the Punjab government also took a small step that can bring about a big change by enhancing the green cover.

As many as 76.25 lakh saplings of seasonal trees have been planted across 12,896 villages of Punjab. Each village of the state has 550 saplings planted on non-forest land. This may seem like a regular government initiative, but it can contribute to making the Earth a greener, cleaner place — something Guru Nanak said brings God closer to us.

This project, launched in September, 2018, was a brainchild of Punjab Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh.
