On World Environment Day I introduce the nation to Vijay Dobaria, 42, a small Rajkot Bizman who should go down as one of the greatest creators of urban forests in history of India. In 3 years he has created 270 urban jungles covering 500 acres in Gujarat on PPP model with almost zero mortality rate. By 2030 he plans to create 5,000 urban forests with 100 crore trees. During this period he will also plant 1 cr roadside trees with tree guards. In next one year alone he will plant 10 cr trees to create 100 urban jungles in the state with each tree standing at 20 to 25 ft. Says Dobaria : “ We will turn Gujarat into a green land in a span of around 5 to 7 years. But our plan is to turn entire India into a green land “. In creating urban forests he has used the Miyawaki as well his own local technique mainly planting those local trees which have a long life - Peepal, Banyan, Neem, Audumbar, Borsali etc. But his greatest asset is his management power. He convinces people to adopt trees or entire urban jungles. He has involved 1 lakh people in this mission in what is a great PPP model. And for his 2030 Gujarat plan he aims to involve 10 lakh people. Planting of one tree in Urban forest costs Rs 100 but the cost of planting roadside trees is very high - Rs 3,000 per tree with tree guard - because it has to be continuously watered over a 3 year period with water tankers after which the tree is on its own. In urban forests it costs much less as here various other & much less costly techniques like drip irrigation are involved. One Surat diamond company called JK Star has adopted entire Surat city for planting roadside trees. Dobaria is now planting one lakh trees with tree guards in Surat in its behalf. He has a team of 3,000 paid workers under his Mission which also has 500 tractors & 500 tankers. His biggest achievement, a lesson for the forest department , is that he doesn’t allow single tree to die. And if an odd tree dies it is immediately replaced with another. Dobaria, a Patel by caste & a man on a unique mission, is also readying a national plan.He shuns personal publicity & carries his green revolution in the name of his Trust Manav Seva Foundation. All his publicity material is in the name of his trust & not in his own name. So much so that i had to convince Dobaria to share his own photo which he did very unwillingly. Due to Climate Change & deforestation threat India faces the prospect 50 degrees C temperature at most places in the country in the coming years. If the nation values Dobaria’s mission & capacity & backs him it can neutralise the Climate Change challenge & bring down the temperature threat from 50 to 40 degrees C - which is virtually reversing it.
