Government’s first experiment with invitation letter
This invitation card is made from specially prepared handmade paper in consultation with the Ministry of AYUSH. While making this paper, some seeds were also put in the pulp of the paper. If this biodegradable paper is not put in the soil and if it is put only in water or on raw land, then it will be destroyed by itself in 10 days. In the ink used on the invitation card, only natural colors have been used. This is the first time the government has done such an experiment in invitation cards.

Biodegradable paper is good for the environment
A senior official said that usually the bark of the tree is ground to make paper, that is, trees have to be cut. But before making biodegradable paper, only the used paper is recycled and used. This invitation letter has also been prepared in the same way.

Seeds of medicinal plants mixed in paper due to corona
In the process of making this biopaper or seed paper, seeds are also added to it during grinding. It is usually mixed with seeds that can germinate easily. These days the outbreak of Kovid is going on, so the suggestion of the Ministry of AYUSH was that only seeds of medicinal plants containing herbs should be put in them so that after the ceremony, when people plant them in pots, Amla, Aloe Vera and Ashwagandha plant can grow. The invitation letter also describes how to destroy the card and plant it in a pot.

Card will create awareness for recycled paper
The ministry says that this time only between 5-8 thousand invitation letters have been issued due to the construction work of Central Vista and Corona Protocol. Through these, an attempt has been made to create awareness about the use of recycled paper and a message is also being given that the forests which are cut into paper, can be grown again from this recycled seed paper. People will also have an emotional connect with these plants that it has grown from the invitation letter they got on Republic Day.
