Harmful thermocol and plastic dishes are replacing plant leaves to serve food
The effect of modern generation is quite evident on 27 of serving food in plant leaves and these leaves are now being replaced by thermocol plate are plastic plates however in Indian culture and tradition for many generations plant leaves were used to serve food necessarily but at the same time use of plant leaves to serve the food is now becoming popular in in other countries of the world but in India we are getting away from our cultural and religious and social traditions because in old times no auspicious occasion could get completed without using plant leaves to serve food aur offer food to God but these days the use of plant leaves is Losing its importance.
It is also a fact that the livelihood of LAX of labourers is associated with plant leaves plate industry in in an organised sector and in the states like Bihar and Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal and Jharkhand and Rajasthan plates made of plant leaves were highly popular but these days we are witnessing a major shift and plant leaves are are getting replaced very fast. However despite the adverse impact of modern traditions on plant leaves plate industry event today in rural parts of the country the tradition of serving food in plant leaves is still being practiced mostly but in urban cities plates of many different materials are replacing these plant leaf plates and at present we are seeing that buffet system is highly popular and this culture has made the use of plant leaf plates irrelevant.

Especially in European countries like Germany where plant leaf plates are becoming Highly popular and taking care of environment people are more and more interested to use plant leaf plates to eat food and taking lesson from Germany in this custom is is growing very fast in other parts of the Europe.

At present in West Bengal the plates made of shell curry leaves industry has applied the government to come forward to rescue this sector because the representatives of this industry have said that the plates made of these leaves are are very cheap and they also have lots of health benefits and plant leaf plates are as important for serving food as is is jute for Packaging of merchandise and goods and the traders of this industry have claimed that if government can come forward to protect jute industry why can not the government come forward to protect the plant leaf plate  industry because it is high time to promote the production of these leaves. If it does not happen then hundreds of years old tradition of making plates of plant leaves will die very soon and Ud of plant leaf plates and many social organisations have appealed Tu to protect this industry because this industry and shows livelihood and so many health benefits and above all it is becoming Highly popular in other countries of the world then why should it die in its home country India.
