Independence Day Plantation & Free Plant Distribution, 15 August 2026

Completed

Saturday, 15 August 2026 · Patrika Gate, Jaipur

KJVF marked Independence Day at Patrika Gate, Jaipur, with a free plant distribution and a tree plantation. Our stall opened with rows of saplings in KJVF-labelled pots, sponsored by The Keshav Farm, and many people gathered to pick one up.

Volunteers and visitors then walked into the park together with their saplings and hand tools, listened to a short briefing and planted them by hand. For us, 15 August is more than a celebration: loving the country means caring for the land it stands on, and every tree planted is a lasting service to the nation.
