Concept of Memory trees becomes a reality on the hills of "Pitra-Parvat"
Indore
is the commercial and cultural capital of the state of Madhya
Pradesh (India), which is area wise second largest state of INDIA.
The city council of Indore started a campaign of Planting trees
in memory of deceased near and dear ones. For this purpose the
city council selected a hillock on the outskirts of Indore city
known as Dev Dharam Hill ,the Municipal authorities and the
citizens have subsequently renamed it Pitra Parvat .Now after
planting trees in memory of departed souls are hill has got a
new name "Pitra Parvat". The word
word "Pitra" comes from ancient Sanskrit
language and refers to departed souls. The hillock is covered
with 17000 memory trees, which were planted in between the year
2000-2005 . In this way the concept of tree planting in memory
of near and dear ones was transformed
from dream to reality by the initiative of Dr. Trivedi
and dedicated efforts by the then Mayor of Indore Mr. Kailash
Vijayvargiya, who has rightly earned the title "The
Green Mayor".

Dr. Rakesh Trivedi feels that generally humanity has benefited from trees
in numerous ways like oxygen for breathing, absorption of
carbon dioxide from atmosphere, fruits, flowers, medicines,
checking soil erosion, providing shelter to birds, fuel, wood
and timber, fodder for animals and attracting rains. He has
evolved the dynamic concept of memory plantation in order to
repay the debt man owes to Mother Nature |
