Uttar Pradesh Sets Record with Massive Tree Plantation Drive

Uttar Pradesh is on the brink of a historic achievement in afforestation. The state, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, plans to plant an unprecedented 37 crore saplings in one day.

This initiative is part of the ongoing 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, aligning with the broader green vision inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Over the past eight years, the state has significantly increased its forest cover, adding five lakh acres of greenery.

Adityanath called upon citizens to join the plantation drive using the hashtag #Ek_Ped_Ma_Ke_Naam, emphasizing it as both a gesture toward environmental conservation and a tribute to maternal figures.
