Unique tree pension scheme launched – World

A unique scheme was introduced to give pension to trees like retired government employees.

A scheme named ‘Pran Vayu Devata Pension’ has been introduced by the government administration of the Indian state of Haryana, which will have a duration of five years.

The objective of this scheme is to provide protection to such trees which play a role in making the environment pleasant for humans.

According to the scheme, the government is giving 2500 (Indian Rupees) annually to the owner of a tree aged 75 years or more to protect it.

Those wishing to join the Pran Vayu Devata Pension Scheme may submit an application to the Forest Department office in the district. The committee will then decide the owner’s pension eligibility following examining the tree.

The said scheme is designed for five years but it can be extended.
