You must have heard about special and VVIP humans till date, but do you know that there is also a tree in this country which is VVIP. The country’s largest VVIP tree is situated between Bhopal and Vidisha, the capital of MP, on the hill of Salamatpur in Raisen district. Where on 21 September 2021, the then President of Sri Lanka Mahinda Rajapaksa planted this Buddhist tree in the Bhoomi Pujan ceremony of the proposed Buddhist University. This tree is so special that even if its leaf falls, it is reported at a high level in Bhopal too. The special thing is that the medical checkup of this tree is also done like a VIP person.
Let us tell you that this tree gets treatment like a VVIP. Policemen have been deployed for security around this tree surrounded by 15 feet high nets. This tree is also special because it is a Bodhi tree. Buddhist gurus believe that Lord Buddha attained enlightenment under this tree in Bodh Gaya. At the same time, Emperor Ashoka also took a branch of this tree from India to Sri Lanka. Like any human, the health of this tree is taken care of.
You will be surprised to know that the government checks this tree once in 15 days. Then necessary fertilizers and water are also provided. The government also tries to ensure that not a single leaf of the tree is broken. Hence 24 hours security is provided. The tree has been protected by fencing all around. If even one of its leaves dries up, there is a stir in the administration. The government has also made special arrangements for this tree. It is supervised by the Horticulture Department, Revenue, Police and Sanchi Municipal Council. All these departments are always ready to take care of this Bodhi tree.
