Delhi Legislative Assembly Speaker Vijender Gupta on Saturday called for a large-scale plantation drive in the Rohini constituency, urging residents to actively participate in making the area cleaner, greener, and healthier. Speaking at the valedictory function of Bal Sanskar Shivir–2026, the Sampurna Mahila Haat, and the launch of Shobha Vijender’s book Shatayu Sangh aur Mahila Sehbhagita at Maharana Pratap Community Centre in Rohini Sector-9, Gupta emphasized the historic role of women in nation-building and the importance of value-based education, environmental conservation, and collective social responsibility.
Call for Community Participation
Gupta urged citizens to join a constituency-wide plantation campaign, stating, “Let us all resolve to make Rohini cleaner, healthier and greener. Together, we have resolved to plant 10,000 trees across our constituency this year and nurture them into full-grown trees.” He stressed that every resident should take responsibility for caring for the saplings so they grow into flowering and fruit-bearing trees, serving as a lasting reminder of the community’s collective efforts.
Recognition of Women’s Contributions
Welcoming Adhikarimayum Sharda Devi on her election to the Rajya Sabha, Gupta noted it was a matter of pride that one of her first public engagements after assuming office was with the women of Sampurna in Rohini. He highlighted that women have played a decisive role in organizational growth through dedication, hard work, and intellectual leadership. The book Shatayu Sangh aur Mahila Sehbhagita documents their invaluable contributions through lived experiences and inspiring examples, he added.
Bal Sanskar Shivir Success
Speaking about the Bal Sanskar Shivir, Gupta said the camp instilled values, discipline, and cultural awareness in children that would remain with them throughout their lives. He appreciated the commitment shown by children, teachers, and volunteers who attended despite Delhi’s intense summer heat, describing their enthusiasm as a reflection of the programme’s success.
Gupta also remarked that the philosophy of the Sangh encourages men and women to work shoulder to shoulder in the service of society. When an individual becomes a swayamsevak, the entire family becomes associated with the spirit of service, with every member contributing to organizational and social work.
Event Highlights
The programme also featured the Sampurna Mahila Haat, which showcased products made by women entrepreneurs and Self-Help Groups, along with a discussion on the role of women in society and social organizations. The event concluded with the felicitation of participants of Bal Sanskar Shivir–2026, trainers, and women entrepreneurs.
