    SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF) organised a mega tree plantation drive on World Environment Day – Primex News Network

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], June 9: SRK Knowledge Foundation (SRKKF), the community welfare initiative of Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt Ltd. (SRK)- a globally trusted and India’s leading diamond crafting and exports company, organized a mega tree plantation drive near Ubharat on 5th June, World Environment Day. It is commendable to note that the drive was towards the plantation of 1 lakh trees on 300 acres of land in the vicinity of Ubharat, near Navsari of Surat, Gujarat. The activity was initiated to create a green zone in one of the popular tourist destinations of Surat.

    This mega event was organised on Monday at nine o’clock in the morning, wherein about five thousand families of the SRK group planted trees together. Buses were arranged from Dharukawala College Ground, Kapodra and SRK Sports Complex of Katargam in the early morning of Monday to carry the families to the tree plantation spot.

    The mega tree plantation drive, which is in line with the company’s environmental policies, saw extensive participation from the personnel of SRK along with the management present to support the initiative. It was probably the first time that a tree plantation program of such a large scale was organised by the personnel of the same company at the same time. A noteworthy fact is that a monument on Shreemad Bhagavad Gita, named “Geeta Vatika”, is being planned to be set up in an area where tree plantation was carried out. Geeta Vatika is proposed to be Knowledge Center and the Influential body to enable The Bhagwat Geeta to be in practical application in the 21st Century.

    Moreover, the event was not just about tree plantations but also about their maintenance. Having planted a tree each, all families pledged to care for and nurture it during its lifetime.

    In this way, the SRK group resolves to continue contributing toward reducing pollution and protecting the environment.

    World Environment day- Plantation drive held at ‘The Wellness City’ – Primex News Network

    Chandigarh/Mohali, June 9, 2022: ‘The Wellness City’, an iconic environment-friendly project coming up on the Chandigarh-Patiala highway, near here held a plantation drive to commemorate ‘World Environment Day’. Those who participated in the plantation drive included the developing company – Prime Land Promoters and Builders, PLPB’s, Co-Chairmen – Sanjiv Kumar and Devraj Bansal and MDs’ Sumit Singla and  Lohit Bansal. The top management was accompanied by the entire team of PLPB.  Saplings of medicinal as well as fruit trees were planted. These included – Lemon, Lemon Grass, Tulsi, Insulin, Har Shungar, Guava, Mango, Kinnow, Oxora, Hibiscus, Gulmohar, Kener, Amaltas etc.

    ‘The Wellness City’  is the first of its kind ‘bioclimatic architecture’  based project in the region. Bioclimatic architecture is an environment-friendly architecture based on providing maximum comfort to inhabitants while avoiding high consumption of resources, and it is all about ‘being sustainable’.

    Sanjiv Kumar said, ” In very simple terms, bioclimatic architecture is when we design with nature and not against nature. While the project will be spread over 90 acres, 10 acres of green belt will be created. Every fourth sapling  we plant will be medicinal.”

    Sumit Singla said, “If your house is well orientated with the sun and the wind, encouraging favored airflow and reducing unfavoured solar radiation, for human comfort, then you can open a window towards a well-shaded planted transitional space instead of using the AC when it gets hot. Most of the buildings in ‘The Wellness City’ will be properly positioned, oriented, and proportioned to create a favorable microclimate.”

    Lohit Bansal said, ” ‘The Wellness City’ is being built by seeking inspiration from the five elements of life – water, earth, fire, air and the soul which is envisaged as an oasis of tranquillity and wellness. The project is being designed by top International architects and will be completed by 2023.”

    Besides other key features, ‘The Wellness City’ will house a sprawling 25-acre ‘Art of Living’ Ashram, which is coming up in association with the ‘Art of Living Foundation’. This will have a meditation hall, Ayurveda College, Ayurveda Hospital, Panchkarma Centre etc. Recently the renowned founder of the Art of Living Foundation, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, also visited ‘The Wellness City’ to conduct a Mahasatsang.
