Tree Plantation Drive: Kharar Goes Green

Kharar is taking strides toward a greener future with a recent tree plantation drive led by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann. Held on May 12, 2025, at the Kharar Community Grounds, this initiative saw over 500 saplings planted, including native species like neem, peepal, and banyan. The event, organized in collaboration with the Punjab Forest Department, aimed to combat rising summer temperatures and improve air quality in the region.

Local schools and NGOs participated, with children from Kharar Public School planting over 100 saplings. CM Mann emphasized the importance of green initiatives, stating, “Every tree planted today is a step toward a healthier tomorrow for Kharar.” Residents were encouraged to adopt a sapling and care for it, fostering a sense of environmental responsibility.

How to Get Involved:

• Join the next plantation drive scheduled for June 5, 2025, on World Environment Day, at the same venue.
• Adopt a sapling from the Kharar Municipal Corporation’s nursery and plant it in your backyard or community space.
• Share your green efforts on social media with #KhararGoesGreen to inspire others.

This initiative reflects Kharar’s commitment to sustainability, especially crucial as summer heat intensifies in Punjab.

Kharar Farmers’ Market: Supporting Local Agriculture

The Kharar Farmers’ Market, held every Sunday from 7 AM to 12 PM at the Community Center, continues to thrive, drawing record crowds. On May 18, 2025, over 500 visitors flocked to the market to buy fresh, organic produce directly from local farmers. Popular items included Punjab’s famous kinnow oranges, organic tomatoes, spinach, and seasonal greens like bathua and methi.

The market not only supports Kharar’s farmers but also promotes sustainable living by reducing the carbon footprint associated with packaged goods. Local farmer Balwinder Singh shared, “The market has been a game-changer for us. We can now sell directly to consumers and earn a fair price for our hard work.”

Why Visit:

• Get the freshest produce at affordable prices.
• Support Kharar’s farming community and reduce reliance on mass-market supply chains.
• Enjoy the vibrant atmosphere with live folk music and occasional cooking demos using market produce.

Pro Tip: Arrive by 8 AM to get the best selection, as popular items like kinnow oranges often sell out quickly.

Why These Events Matter to Kharar

These events—the Summer Festival, tree plantation drive, and Farmers’ Market—highlight Kharar’s vibrant community spirit and commitment to cultural preservation, environmental sustainability, and local economic growth. They provide opportunities for residents to come together, celebrate their heritage, and contribute to a better future. As Kharar continues to grow with infrastructure projects like the Kharar-Chandigarh metro link, these community events ensure the city retains its cultural and environmental roots.
