On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his 75th birthday in an eco-friendly manner by planting a Kadamb sapling, a gift from British King Charles III. The gift was not just a token of friendship but also a symbol of their mutual dedication to environmental conservation.
The initiative aligns with Modi's ongoing 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, encouraging people to plant trees in honor of their mothers. The British High Commission in India emphasized this in a statement, noting the shared environmental commitments between the prime minister and the monarch.
Earlier in July, Modi had reciprocated with a Sonoma tree gift to the King during his visit to the UK. Both leaders aim to strengthen collaboration on climate and clean energy, a central element of the Commonwealth and UK-India Vision 2035 partnership.
