Medical Community Joins Plantation Drive
Dr. Jignesh Shah, president of the Ahmedabad Medical Association (AMA), highlighted the participation of AMA members alongside the Ahmedabad Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society (AOGS) in a tree plantation initiative. “We distributed saplings to all members so they can plant them at their homes or near their offices, contributing to a greener city,” he stated.

Numerous schools, colleges, and universities across the city organized special events aligned with this year’s theme, ‘Inspired by Nature: For Climate. For Our Future.’ These activities aimed to educate students and the broader community about the importance of protecting the environment and adopting sustainable lifestyles.
