Balod.
You must have seen sisters tying Rakhi on Rakshabandhan, but we are going to tell you about an environment lover from Balod district who is always vigilant and does excellent work in the field of environment. On this Rakshabandhan, he tied Rakhi to trees giving the message of environmental protection. Yes, we are talking about Bhoj Kumar Sahu. He celebrated the festival of Rakshabandhan in a unique way.
He says that for me trees and plants are like my brothers and sisters. Not only me, every person should consider trees and plants as their brothers and sisters. Anyway, the earth is our mother and every creature on earth, whether it is a tree or a wild animal, is our brother and sister. Let us tell you that a day before Rakshabandhan, Bhoj Kumar Sahu reached many trees and tied Raksha Sutra and gave the message of environmental protection through that Raksha Sutra. Bhoj Kumar Sahu’s son’s name is Kanha. On his birthday, he had organized a Yagya to protect trees inside the forests. He also took forward the Chipko movement in a unique way, after which the process of cutting trees for the bypass was stopped.
He distributes sanitary pads for free in his village
Bhoj Kumar Sahu also distributes sanitary pads to women and girls in his village for free. For this, he has adopted his village for life. He believes that when women remain clean, our country will also remain healthy. From time to time, he inspires people to protect the environment. On Raksha Bandhan, he has made this message public that just as we respect our elders and tie Rakhi to our brothers and sisters, in the same way, we should also consider trees as members of our family and tie Raksha Sutra to them and pledge to protect and preserve them.
