Speaking about the importance of trees Rathod said, “Covid19 pandemic has reiterated the significance of trees, the hard way. We saw so many patients in hospitals gasping for oxygen cylinders. This gas is not only important for medical use but also sustains all living beings and for this reason we should consider planting more trees”
“We are also distributing medicinal saplings like Amla, a fruit bearing tree which is rich in antioxidants. Amla can benefit memory by fighting against free radicals that can attack and damage brain cells. Amla is also known to enhance the immunity” said Rathod
Director of Green Growth NGO noted “Guava fruit is loaded with nutrients. It has vitamin C, This fruit is also rich in other antioxidants having great health benefits”
She also asserted that while people know about the health benefits of Guava fruits, one lesser known fact is that leaves of the tree  also help to manage blood sugar levels, reduce cholesterol levels as well as help in losing weight.
Mandev Foundation has urged people to make use of these saplings and enhance their well being.
