Mahakal Van - Ujjain, MP
Experience the divine essence of nature at Mahakal Van, where we honor the sacred bond between Lord Shiva and the environment. In collaboration with local farmers, we are planting native fruit trees and Bel Patra near Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, creating a serene haven known as Mahakal Van.
Address: Mahakal Van, Near Aastha Gurukul, Ujjain, MP-456006
Project Aim: Mahakal Van, nestled near the revered Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain, aims to pay homage to Lord Shiva, the preserver of life and nature, through the creation of a lush forest dedicated to him. Our project focuses on planting native fruit trees such as Bel Patra, Jackfruit, Lemon, Mango, Orange, and Amla, near the temple premises in anticipation of Shivratri. By collaborating with local farmers, we aim to revive the sacred tradition of planting trees in honor of Lord Shiva and nurturing the land.
Primary Objectives:
-
Sustainable Agriculture: Through the "Trees for Shiv Ji" initiative, we aim to promote sustainable agriculture practices among local farmers by incorporating native fruit trees into agroforestry systems. By integrating tree planting with agricultural activities, we enhance soil health, conserve water, and improve farm resilience to climate change, thereby ensuring long-term sustainability of farming practices.
-
Carbon Sequestration: The planting of native fruit trees and Bel Patra in Mahakal Van serves as a vital strategy for carbon sequestration, capturing and storing atmospheric carbon dioxide. By enhancing carbon sinks in the region, we contribute to mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, thereby supporting global efforts to combat environmental degradation and promote climate resilience.
-
Increase in Farm Yield: By diversifying farm landscapes with native fruit trees, farmers can experience an increase in farm yield and productivity. The presence of fruit trees provides additional sources of income, improves soil fertility, and attracts pollinators, leading to enhanced crop yields and economic opportunities for local farmers. This increase in farm yield contributes to food security and economic prosperity in the community.
