Jun 11, 2026

New Delhi [India], June 11: This Environment Fortnight is significant in many ways, with events taking place across the country. To mark the occasion, the highly anticipated book Ghosts on Peepal Trees--based on the environmental conservation work of renowned activist Peepal Baba--was launched in Gurugram. The launch took place on the eve of World Environment Day during a tree-planting ceremony where Peepal Baba planted saplings alongside employees from Penguin Publications. Subsequently, on World Environment Day itself, he formally unveiled the book at the Baba Neem Karoli Ashram in Chhatarpur, Delhi, by planting trees amidst the 'Ashram of Trees' alongside his volunteers. Since then, the book has been undergoing daily launches at various plantation sites across the country. A target has been set to launch the book at 15 locations over 15 days; so far, 10,700 copies have been purchased. Furthermore, this book is scheduled to be launched during this Environment Fortnight amidst the forests being created by Peepal Baba at locations such as Sorkha (Noida-115), Maincha (Greater Noida), Rahimabad (Lucknow), Khatauli, Meerut Cantt, Barmer, Pune, Karma Lakeland, and others.
