Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren, his wife, and legislator Kalpana Soren performed rituals on the occasion of the annual festival Sarhul at Tribal College Hostel, Karamtoli, Ranchi.

Soren also planted a Sal tree(Shorea robusta) inside the Tribal College Hostel complex, giving a message to people to remain connected with Nature.

“This is how humanity can be saved from climate change”, thinks Soren.

Soren who has emerged as a popular leader among tribals, has reiterated that the tribes have a glorious history.

Their civilization and culture is very rich. Along with this, the art-culture, literature, tradition and customs of our tribes have worldwide recognition. They are nature lovers and this is reflected in their festivals and rituals linked with Sarhul festival.

Even BJP leader and Leader of Opposition, who is tribal, congratulated the people of the state on Sarhul festival. He said that Sarhul is not just a festival, but a unique example of the unbreakable relationship between human life and nature.

Indeed, Sarhul gives the message that man does not exist without nature.

The CM Soren was participating with the people at the "Sarhul Puja Mahotsav" organised by the Faculty of Tribal and Regional Languages, Ranchi University, Ranchi today. On the above occasion, JMM MLA, and Hemant Soren participated in the group dance, a feature common among tribal communities to celebrate the Sarhul festival.

Sarhul festival inspires humans to protect and promote nature. Highlighting the importance of trees, Soren says that "It is impossible to imagine life without trees, if there is a tree, then there is life".

Water level has increased significantly, and rainfall has also increased. He said that the Jharkhand state would be invited to benefit from the experience of the said organization in the field of tree plantation. He appealed to the people of the state to conserve water and plant more and more trees.
