  • Neem plantion : Potent source of oxygen

Scorching heat has always been borne by Western Rajasthan and its people. Average rainfall is very little and the land has become desert like. As a result, life is difficult in this area.

A solution for this predicament was to grow trees. Only prickly plants and babuls grow naturally in this region. Experts were consulted as to which tree would grow in a desert, surviving all the unfavorable conditions. Experts were of the opinion that Neem trees grow even in adverse conditions, offering the maximum greenery, which in turn attracts rainfalls and moderates temperature.

Khimawat Trust has planned for and planted Neem trees across Western Rajasthan, especially in Pali and surrounding districts. The Trust, observed the success of mass-plantation in Israel, and replicated the same plan in western Rajasthan. In Israel, large plantations brought heavy rain falls in desert-listed areas. The objective of the plantation has to make Rajasthan environment-friendly by raising the oxygen levels and maintaining the eco-balance through pollution control.

Khimawat Trust has planted more than a 24lac trees on either side of the roads for large stretches and also in the premises of Institutions, railway stations, hospitals and other public places. The challenge undertaken by the Trust is to plant at least 1.5 Lakh Neem trees every year. The trust is fully equipped to meet this massive target manufacturing tree guards, cleaning the roadsides and digging pits to plant the trees.
