Last year in February, when President Ram Nath Kovind visited the Statue of Unity in Gujarat’s Kevadia, he returned with an idea. It was to foster a restorative nursery inside the grounds of the Rashtrapati Bhavan on the lines of the Arogya Van at Kevadia, a place of interest that displays a wide scope of therapeutic plants and wellbeing related scenes.
Thus, work on repeating it at the Rashtrapati Bhavan began around the same time. After a year, despite pandemic-related impediments, the six-section of land Arogya Vanam was initiated by the President on March 1, within the sight of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Aarogya Vanam has been imagined and created determined to promote the significance of Ayurvedic plants and their impacts on human organs, said an explanation from the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Its motivation is likewise to spread mindfulness so visitors staying with Rashtrapati Bhavan can become mindful of the properties of different sorts of therapeutic plants, their fragrance and their significance, it adds.
The design of Arogya Vanam is made looking like a human sitting in yoga act (Arogya Manav). Alongside it, there are wellsprings, a yoga stage, a perspective, water channels, a lotus lake, and a nursery. There are six bloom beds looking like a peacock feather towards the head and feet of the Arogya Manav. The strolling way estimating around 2 km has been made with red and white sandstone.
The assistance of the timberland branch of Gujarat, which made the Arogya Van in Kevadia, was taken for conceptualisation, determination and acquisition of plants. Upwards of 215 kinds of plants – including arand, aloe vera, giloy, neem, drumstick, tulsi, harsingar, arjun, lemongrass, ashwagandha and peepal – make up the spot.
Strangely, the area of the plants on the ‘assemblage’ of Arogya Manav compares to their advantages for that particular organ of the human body, said an agriculture master who was important for the group.
Spread over 6.16 sections of land of land which was before utilized for stopping and random purposes, the region was formed into the natural nursery in around 10 months’ time. Arogya Vanam has three distinct kinds of wellsprings, which are 29 in number. The perspective, arranged at a stature, gives an all encompassing perspective on Arogya Manav. The spot is presently open to public.
