1. Who is Dr. Rajesh Agrawal?
Dr. Rajesh Agrawal is an environmentalist, social worker, and industrialist - turned - conservationist, widely known as the “Treeman of Madhya Pradesh” and “Vrikshamitra (वृक्षमित्र).” He has dedicated his life to restoring green cover through large-scale tree plantation and environmental awareness.
2. Why is he called the Treeman of Madhya Pradesh?
Dr. Rajesh Agrawal is known as the “Treeman of Madhya Pradesh” because he pioneered a large-scale free tree plantation movement in his region at a time when there was very little public awareness about the importance of planting trees. Recognizing the urgent need to restore the environment while supporting farmers, he began distributing free plants—especially fruit-bearing, shade giving and native species—to rural communities.
As thousands of plants were distributed year after year, local journalists observed his extraordinary commitment & unwavering dedication to planting trees and affectionately began calling him the “Treeman of Madhya Pradesh” in 2017. Since then, the title has become synonymous with his mission of environmental conservation, inspiring communities and making him able to now distribute 70,000 to over 100,000 plants annually.
3. When did his tree plantation mission begin?
His environmental journey began in 2013, after the wedding of his youngest child. At the age of 64, he chose to devote his life to serving nature and society through tree plantation and officially started distributing plants in large scale since 2015.
4. What types of plants do you distribute?
We distribute around 50–60 varieties of plants, including fruit-bearing, medicinal, shade, and native trees. Popular varieties include mango, jackfruit, guava, jamun, banana, mahua, neem, peepal, banyan, ashoka, kadamba, arjun, bamboo, and many other indigenous species.
5. What inspired this transformation?
After years of successfully running industries and businesses, Dr. Agrawal experienced a profound realization about giving back to society. He decided that planting trees would be his life’s mission
6. Do you provide ornamental or decorative plants?
Our primary focus is on plants that benefit the environment, farmers, and communities. We distribute only a limited number of flowering plants suitable for temples and public spaces, but we do not generally provide ornamental landscaping plants.
7. Who can receive free plants?
Anyone who is genuinely interested in planting and caring for trees can receive free plants. We especially encourage farmers, rural communities, schools, institutions, and individuals committed to protecting the environment.
8. Are the plants really free?
Yes. Every plant is provided completely free of cost. There are no hidden charges for the plants or their distribution.
9. Do you charge for transportation or delivery?
No. Whether people collect plants from us or we distribute them in villages and communities, our plantation mission remains completely free.
10. When are plants available?
The main distribution season begins around World Environment Day (5th June) and continues until mid-September, which is the ideal planting period during the monsoon. Limited distribution may continue throughout the year, depending on availability.
11. Can I request any number of plants?
To ensure that more people benefit, we usually distribute a limited number of plants per person. Large requests are considered only for genuine plantation drives with proper planning.
12. How do you decide who receives plants?
We prioritize people who are likely to plant and care for the trees. Our goal is not just distribution but ensuring that the plants survive and grow into healthy trees.
13. Do you provide plants for photo opportunities or publicity?n
No. We prefer to support individuals and organizations that are sincerely committed to tree plantation and long-term care rather than one-time publicity events.
14. What is the survival rate of the plants you distribute?
Because we distribute plants to responsible individuals and regularly encourage proper care, nearly 80–90% of the distributed plants survive and grow into healthy trees.
15. Why do you focus on fruit-bearing and native trees?
Fruit-bearing and native trees provide food, shade, biodiversity, livelihood and economical support for farmers, and long-term environmental benefits. Many medicinal species, such as Arjun, also have important health value.
16. What is your mission?
वृक्षों से बड़ी कोई पूजा नहीं,
वृक्षों के वितरण से बड़ा कोई दान नहीं व
वृक्षों के पालन पोषण के समान कोई सेवा नही!
“आओ पेड़ लगायें, धरा बचायें”
