Bhagat Puran Singh-An Environmentalist

I am back with another blog in which I would like to start with a situation. Let's imagine when we are passing from a normal road and a man is circulating a pamphlet will we read  it? On asking this question from some of my friends, they said that they take it but never saw what is written in it. Do we realise that small piece of paper could have something that can completely  change our thinking. Now, you all must be thinking why I am narrating this situation or making you imagine this situation because today as I am going to write about a man who wrote pamphlets from his very own hands and then circulated to people to raise awareness about soil erosion and pollution. These days these two terms must be very common but interestingly when Bhagat Puran Singh used these terms people weren't aware of  them. 

Bhagat Puran Singh, a man  who did not finish schooling after 9th like many of us did but then too had a different ideology towards nature. He believed that in selfless service of humanity. He was  an environmentalist and visionary. A Padma Shri awardee, also initiated tree plantation drives, organised talks and lectures on various issues concerning the environment and social life, and also wrote a large number of books regarding the same. Some of his famous works include"Education of man","Righteousness alone exalts a nation".Plant or Perish",The Way"and many more.He was truly a man who could see the future of mankind without trees and will always be remembered for his contributions towards environment.
