Aruna Island - a man made wonder forest in the Majuli district of Assam.Unfortunately rays of devolopment has not yet reached this island still the people are happy with their own living.
The island is about 30 kms away from Jorhat town. There is no connectivity to this island by land. The only way of transportation is through water by boats from Nimati Ghat ferry or Kokilamukh.
The main inhabitants in this island belongs to Mising tribe. There is minimal basic necessities provided by the govt. There is an elimentary school in the village. There is no electric supply, still some NGO's gifted them with solar panels, which is the main source of electricity here. It will be good being not explored much that it will remain a treasure to be preserved for the good of people.
Hope the island inhabitants will be getting basic needs in nearby future.
Nature is love and Jadav Payeng is great .
I wish to visit this place once in my life. Jadav payeng "The Forest Man" of India create the history that young generation have to learn and follow them as well...
Molai Forest Jorhat
Molai Forest located in the Jorhat district of Assam is the outcome of the constant hard work put in by a famous environmentalist named Jadev Molai Payeng. He has done a phenomenal work of planting in 1360 acres of land within a time of 30 years and that too single-handedly. He started with a very small step of planting trees on the bank of the River Brahmaputra which later on turned into a huge forest area giving home to several wildlife creatures. It is truly delightful to visit this Mulai Forest when you are at Jorhat and it shows how beautiful our surroundings can be if we have greenery around us. This man-made forest has become a famous tourist attraction of the state. You can see here the Indian rhinoceros, Bengal tigers, rabbits, deer and a wide variety of birds. Another exceptional feature of this forest is that it is regular visited by herds of elephant that stay here for six months. As a result of this about 10 elephant calves have taken birth in this forest.
Several varieties of trees are found here some of which comprise of gold mohur, valcol, arjun, moj, koroi, himolu and many bamboo trees. This forest has a major role in saving the environment of Assam by maintaining a proper ecological balance. Owing to deforestation, several environmentalists took up the issue seriously and constantly worked towards saving the Mulai Forest. Several documentaries have been made on this forest and on Mr. Yadav who has gifted us this beautiful forest canopy to be visited . This forest is a live example of how Mr. Yadav has dedicated his entire life in protecting nature and has given habitat to several animals and birds. Words always fall short in appreciation of this great man and his deeds.
