औद्योगिकरणाच्या काळात स्वतःच्या फायद्यासाठी मनुष्य निसर्गाची बेछुट छाटणी करताना, नकळत तो स्वतःचाच विनाश ओढवून घेत असल्याचे विसरत आहे. म्हणूनच आजच्या पर्यावरणदिनाचे औचित्य साधून किमान स्वतःचे आरोग्य सांभाळण्यासाठी या औषधी वनस्पती नक्की घरात लावण्याचा प्रयत्न करा.

4000 delegates besides Health Ministers of several countries and Indian states will attend the World Ayurveda Conference to be held here between November 6-9 and inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
