YESPYQ · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: Gond and Korku. Every monsoon the Gond and Korku tribes of Betul and Harda districts of Madhya Pradesh celebrate a month- long festival known as Hari Jiroti. This festival is dedicated to promoting greenery and environmental conservation. During Hari Jiroti community members engage in the plantation of saplings, especially those of fruit-bearing trees such as mango, guava, and jamun. This practice not only enhances the local ecosystem but also ensures a sustainable source of food and income for future generations. 41
