The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched the ‘Arogya Van’ programme to plant medicinal trees like neem, amla, and lemon along vacant land on national highways. In the first phase, over 67,000 medicinal trees will be planted across 17 land parcels covering about 62.8 hectares in multiple states, including Haryana. These plantations will come up on unused land near toll plazas, interchanges, and other highway areas. The initiative includes around 36 medicinal plant species—such as neem, amla, jamun, and lemon—carefully chosen based on local climate conditions. The aim is to boost biodiversity by attracting birds, pollinators, and other wildlife, while improving the surrounding ecosystem. .
