In a significant move, the Uttar Pradesh government has directed all state secondary schools to set up ‘Arogya Vatika’ in their premises.  It was recently that the Government of Uttar Pradesh has announced to set up Arogya Vatikas in all the school colleges of the state.

Aarogya Vatika is an exclusive health corner under which high medicinal quality and immunity-boosting plant species will be planted in various parks of the city, so that the general public can become aware of the health benefits of plants available around them.

Deputy Chief Minister Dinesh Sharma, who is also in-charge of secondary education department said that ''We have decided to set up Arogya Vatika in all secondary schools of the state. It will not only help conserve the environment, but also can help boost immunity and well-being of students and their families,'' The idea was popularised by local journalist Sudhir Mishra, who with the help of his newspaper has been running a campaign to create such gardens in parks, police stations, schools, and other places, Sharma said.

An order to this end has been issued by Director Education, Vinay Kumar Pandey, instructing all District Inspectors of schools to identify places to set up these medicinal plants.''Plants like Tulsi, Ashwagandha, Giloy, stevia, lemongrass, Indian gooseberry, khas, Guava,  Sahjan,  and many more should be planted as they help boost the immunity,'' the order said.
