It gives me a great pleasure to notify everyone that our Peace Centre hasΒ  been acknowledged and credited as a dependable and trustworthy venue for addressing issues from various perspectives. Similarly, Nature Pets’ Guardian (Nagaland) and the Centre for Peace Education in Manipur (CFPEM) have asked us to participate in their Climate Action Project 2025.

With an emphasis on the Himalayan range biosphere, this particular project aims to solve global climate change. They have suggested planting the Northern Indian native tree Moringa. Common names for Moringa include Sazana, Horseradish, and Drumstick trees. Moringa is a powerful weapon against malnutrition since it is a rich source of proteins, vitamins, and minerals. It aids in preventing cell damage by acting as an antioxidant. It might also lessen pain and inflammation. Although there is little scientific proof for some of its benefits, it is used to treat conditions like diabetes, asthma, problems with breastfeeding, and other conditions.

 

We might ask why the Moringa tree is being suggested. One of the main causes is that non-native trees were planted on in our environment for many years; some of these trees had detrimental effects on the soil and were not suited for producing vegetables near them. These trees didn’t help local food chains; they were planted for aesthetic or commercial reasons. On the other hand, Moringa is a natural tree that has several health advantages and can be used as food. In addition to providing communities with food and nutritional benefits, this project seeks to increase the number of Moringa trees in response to climate change.

 

We are really fortunate to have received Moringa seeds at no cost to us. In addition, we have been granted Rs. 25,000 to cover handling and distribution expenses. For the aforementioned purposes, only Rs. 23,350 (Rupees twenty-three thousand three hundred fifty) is spent.

A brief overview of Moringa has been prepared by the Office, and a requesting letter to do necessary follow-up has been sending out to all the units. We appreciate all of the leaders’ acceptance of our humble request and the prompt action being taken in each of your units.
