Hello friends. Today I will tell you about a grassroot level real effort which converted a piece of barren land into a micro forest; biodiversity is flourishing there.

Friends, let us tell you how an Indian Administrative Service officer, committed to environment protection, converted a plot of barren land in Uttar Pradesh into a micro forest.

Friends, there is a district named Firozabad in the province of Uttar Pradesh in India. Between Firozabad and Agra, on both sides of the Lucknow-Agra Expressway, there are many deep ravines, mud island structures, and wastelands. All of them are dry and infertile. These lands are inhabited by termites and lack water. The amount of calcium pebbles in the soil is also very high. 

The initiative to rejuvenate a plot of these barren lands was taken by the then District Magistrate of Firozabad Miss Neha Sharma. 


Dedicated to the environment, Miss Neha Sharma selected a block of land of over an acre near the banks of the Yamuna River in Jalalpur village of Firozabad district for her environment project.

Miss Neha Sharma formed a team of officers; with this team she personally visited the place many times despite her busy schedule. 

Ultimately, she took up a challenging project and personally made every effort to make it a success with the utmost care.

Miss Sharma entrusted the day-to-day care of the project to Mr. Rambabu, a local farmer. Mr. Rambabu took care of the saplings planted there and contributed to make the project a success.

Eventually, Miss Sharma's hard work paid off and she succeeded.

Miss Sharma provided all possible cooperation from her side to make this project a success.

Her efforts improved the biodiversity and ecology of the region. With this effort, she spread awareness in the field of environmental protection in Firozabad district.

Her efforts in nature conservation will help district Firozabad in dealing with climate change. 

This effort by her is an outstanding example in the field of environmental protection by an officer.

All of us should also keep trying in such a way that this world can be saved from the bad effects of climate change. We all should work for Nature and Mother Earth so the world can be made livable for the future.

Thank you.
