Sikkim is considered as one of the cleanest and greenest states of India. And taking a step further in making the state greener and cleaner, the state has taken step a forward in preserving its greenery the state has allowed its population to adopt trees just like as their child or sibling. This will not only create environmental awareness but also will forge amity between people and trees of the state.
A Different Feeling
How it will sound, if you are told that you can now adopt a child or sibling that doesn’t bully or nag you and at the same time by doing this you are can contribute a lot towards making environment clean. The idea may sound vague but if it could be done in a sincere way, then this will definitely have a positive impact on our environment. In an endeavour to protect both the environment and strengthen the bond between man and fauna, Sikkim government under the leadership of Chief Minister Pawan Chamling has recently launched a programme that allows a citizen to adopt a tree as a child or sibling in the remembrance of a departed soul.
