Finance Minister Launches 'Bharat Van' Urban Forest Project at Lodhi Colony
Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman inaugurated the 'Bharat Van' Miyawaki forest project at Lodhi Colony, New Delhi, aiming to plant 10,000 native saplings to enhance urban green cover and biodiversity. Supported by NDMC and CSR funding from IIFCL, the initiative is part of the month-long Swachhata Hi Seva campaign. The project will create a dense forest area with indigenous plants, offering residents space for walking and meditation. NDMC also launched a plantation and deep-cleaning drive across its jurisdiction.
