International Day of Peace

 

🌼🕊️🌼🕊️🌼🕊️🌼🕊️🌼🕊️🌼🕊️🌼🕊️🌼🕊️

History

Also known as World Peace Day, the United Nations passed a unanimous resolution in the year 1981 which was jointly sponsored by the United Kingdom and Costa Rica. It was in 2001 when the date was decided to be September 21. Not only the benefits of world peace discussed but a 24-hour period of global ceasefire and non-violence is also advocated especially for groups who are in active conflict with each other. 

Significance

Over a long period of time, we have seen on several occasions how pointless violence has only destroyed countries and their future. However, everyone has also witnessed the power of world peace and what it can achieve. Peace is possible and it is upon us to ensure the same around the world. 

Theme

This year, the day's theme is 'Recovering Better for an Equitable and Sustainable World.' Peace cannot just be ensured by resolving any violent conflict and combat. It is made sure by creating an equal, just, and sustainable world around us as well. COVID-19 turned everything upside down in the past year. As we are slowly recovering from it, the process is tedious yet possible. It is absolutely imperative to ensure that the new world that we enter post-pandemic is not just equal in several ways, but is healthier as well.

Van Mahotsav, 2021

 

Van Mahotsav

Van Mahotsav is an annual pan-Indian Tree Planting Festival, occupying a week in the month of July. During this event millions of trees are planted.

It was initiated in 1950 by K. M. Munshi, the then Union Minister for Agriculture and Food to create an enthusiasm in the mind of the populace for the conservation of forests and planting of trees.

The main objectives of the planting of trees during Van Mahotsav are to:

• Provide fuel
• Increase production of fruits and add to the potential food resources of the country.
• Help creation of shelter-belts around agricultural fields to increase their productivity.
• Provide fodder leaves for cattle to relieve intensity of grazing over reserved forests.
• Provide shade and ornamental trees for the landscape.
• Provide small poles and timber for agricultural implements, house construction and fencing.
• Help conservation of soil and prevent further deterioration of soil fertility.
• Inculcate tree consciousness and love of trees amongst the people.
• Popularize the planting and tending of trees in farms, villages, municipal and public lands for their aesthetic, economic and protective needs.

This year Kendriya Vidyalaya Gopalganj have celebrated the day with tree plantation activities. Some of the glimpses are here:
