Nature
Trail inaugurated in President's Estate
New
Delhi: In an effort to
bring the people closer to Rashtrapati Bhavan and to encourage
environmental awareness, a Nature Trail was opened in
the President's estate on Saturday. A result of President
Pratibha Devisingh Patil's keen interest to protect the
ecological heritage, Nature Trail forms a part of the
Roshini Project aimed at making the Estate a green, energy
efficient and zero waste model township. Delhi Chief Minister
Sheila Dikshit also participated in the Nature Trail inauguration.
The
ecological heritage of Rashtrapati Bhavan along with natural
and managed eco system of the President's Estate are an
ideal platform for promoting education about natural and
environmental awareness amongst students and visitors.
The trail will allow visitors to walk through 75 acres
of the President's Estate, which has a natural forest
eco system, an agro eco system and a pond-eco system.
It is proposed that the trail would be opened to visitors
on Saturdays when the Change of Guard Ceremony shall be
held on the approach road to Rashtrapati Bhavan between
North and South Blocks. The public will become aware of
the importance of environmental protection, and would
also get an opportunity to come closer to Rashtrapati
Bhavan.
