Answer 1

Hint: Van Mahotsav is a festival celebrated in the first week of the July every year in India. This was initiated in order to increase the awareness of the importance of forests in our lives. In this festival people use to organize tree plantation programs.

Complete answer:
Van Mahotsav is also known as the Forest Festival in which people plant many trees for one week in the first week of the July month every year. This great festival was initiated in 1950 in order to increase awareness among people about the importance of trees and forest in our lives and to protect the environment. It was started with the aim that people will have a chance to celebrate and the country can have more forests and in order to make people realize the importance of conservation of the forests and wildlife.
This great initiative was taken by Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi (K. M. Munshi) by planting trees at Rajghat, Delhi. Festival organizers hope to create more and more forests in the country and to provide more alternatives sources of the fuels, provide more ecological balances, increase in food productivity, provide more food and shade to cattle, reduce drought conditions, and reduce soil erosion.

So, we can conclude that Van Mahotsav was started by K. M. Munshi and option ‘A’ is the correct option.

Note: July first week is generally monsoon season and best for the tree plantation. So, they choose the first week of July for this tree plantation festival. But it can differ according to the geographical conditions and monsoon itself.
