According to him, planting trees is his passion and his service towards nature.
He appealed to the people to create a self-sustaining environment for our future generations and talked about where he has planted these micro forests. "The trees we have planted are based on the ancient concept of 'Vriksha Ayurveda. We have created micro-forests in the cities like Surat, Vadodara, Ludhiyana, Amritsar, and Kolkata. Along with my family, my team members help me to create such forests."
