Forests Are Our Lungs, Forests Regulate Climate, Buffer Disasters, and Support the Marginalised, Says VP

New Delhi, MAY 5, 2025: Vice-President of India, Jagdeep Dhankhar said on Monday, “Forests are extremely important. Forests are our lungs. If a country’s forests are in good shape, its people will enjoy good health—because forests are the lungs.

Agriculture is our lifeline. But we need forests as they regulate climate, they buffer disasters, and they support livelihoods—especially for the poor and marginalized.”

Interacting with faculty members and students of the College of Forestry, Sirsi, during a special programme on the “Role of Forestry in Nation Building”, today, Dhankhar emphasised, “We must pledge to protect our forests and contribute in every way possible, because climate change is a global challenge—a global menace”.

“The situation is alarmingly cliff hanging, and we have no other planet to live on apart from Mother Earth,” he warned.

Boys and Girls,

You are future foot soldiers of Bharat Maa.

Highlighting India’s civilisational wisdom, the Vice-President said, “This land is a confluence of spirituality and sustainability. Sustainability is not just vital for the economy—it is vital for healthy living.

Our Vedic culture has preached sustainability for thousands of years. And today, there is no alternative to sustainable development.

We cannot engage in reckless exploitation of natural resources. We must restrict ourselves to what is minimally required. We all need to be aware of this.”

Calling for deeper ecological consciousness, he remarked, “We must develop a sense of self-realisation—that Mother Earth, this environment, the forests, the ecosystems, the flora and fauna—we are their trustees, not consumers. We are duty-bound to pass this on to future generations.”

“Environment is that aspect of life which touches every living being on Earth. When the environment is challenged, the challenge is not just to humanity—it affects everything that exists on this planet.

Today, we face a critical test: to protect and preserve the environment, and to find ways to overcome the grave crisis that is unfolding,” he observed.

Stressing the role of education in building a sustainable future, the Vice-President said, “Today, no institution can function as a standalone entity. There was a time when medical education, engineering education, management education, environmental education, and forest education all existed in silos. But now, everything has become interdisciplinary. And therefore, we must adopt an inclusive approach to learning.”

Be inquisitive! ललक होनी चाहिए नई जानकारी के लिए।

हमारी सांस्कृतिक विरासत में झांक कर देखेंगे, आपको एक खज़ाना मिलेगा।

जितना आप अध्ययन करेंगे, उतनी सेवा आप सृष्टि की कर पाएंगे। जो विषय आपका है, आज के दिन उसी से उपचार निकलता है, उसी से उत्पादन निकलते हैं।

You can really be… pic.twitter.com/3pop5nuYUs

Encouraging young minds, Dhankhar said, “Be inquisitive—have yearning and desire for new knowledge. The academic pursuit you are engaged in holds immense possibilities—far beyond imagination.

In our cultural heritage, wherever you look, you will find a treasure trove. The more you study, the more you will be able to serve creation.

The very subject you are pursuing today holds the key to remedies and production. You can truly become an effective crucible of research, especially when it comes to forest produce.”

Applauding the natural setting of the institution, the Vice-President noted, “Sirsi, nestled in the lap of the majestic Western Ghats—is one of the richest biodiversity regions not just in Bharat, but in the entire world.

Such an environment transforms the very concept of a classroom. Here, the classroom doesn’t end at four walls; it extends beyond them. This is an open classroom, breathing and brimming with life.

The College of Forestry is, fortunately and uniquely, surrounded by nature—in its most pristine form. The view here is truly extraordinary; the atmosphere fills one with joy and celebration.”

Thaawar Chand Gehlot, Governor of Karnataka, Basavaraj S. Horatti, Speaker of Legislative Council, Govt. of Karnataka, Mankal S. Vaidya, District-in-Charge Minister (Uttara Kannada), Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, Member of Parliament, Dr. P.L.Patil, Vice Chancellor of University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad and other dignitaries were also present on the occasion.
