New Delhi, Sep 03: In a remarkable environmental initiative, the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign has achieved a significant milestone by planting over 52 crore trees across India. Launched to honor mothers and promote environmental sustainability, the campaign has seen widespread participation from citizens, schools, NGOs, and government bodies.
The initiative, which translates to “A Tree in the Name of Mother,” encourages people to plant trees as a tribute to their mothers, symbolizing nurturing and growth. The campaign’s massive success is attributed to the collective effort of millions of Indians who planted trees in urban and rural areas, along roadsides, schools, and public spaces, transforming landscapes and contributing to India’s green cover.
Union Environment Minister, while celebrating the milestone, praised the public’s enthusiastic participation and highlighted the importance of such initiatives in combating climate change and promoting ecological balance. “Planting a tree is a simple yet profound act of love for our planet and future generations. The success of this campaign shows the power of community action in creating a greener and healthier India,” he said.
The ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign has also raised awareness about the environmental benefits of trees, including reducing air pollution, conserving water, and providing habitats for wildlife. Organizers aim to sustain the momentum and encourage people to continue planting and nurturing trees beyond the campaign.
Participants have shared stories of their tree-planting experiences on social media, creating a ripple effect that has inspired others to join the cause. With the ongoing support and enthusiasm, the campaign hopes to plant many more trees, contributing to India’s goal of increasing forest cover and fighting global warming.
The massive plantation drive stands as a testament to the nation’s commitment to environmental conservation and honoring the legacy of mothers through a lasting and meaningful tribute.
