Prime Minister Narendra Modi has expressed gratitude to all those who have added momentum to the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ . In a social media post, Mr Modi urged more people to plant a tree in honour of their Mother and contribute to a sustainable planet. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign on June 5 on the occasion of World Environment Day 2024, with the planting of a Peepal tree at Buddha Jayanti Park in Delhi.

Prime Minister emphasized the importance of collective efforts to improve the environment and spoke of India’s strides in increasing forest cover over the past decade. This campaign, he said, aligns with the nation’s quest for sustainable development. The aim of the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign is to plant a tree in the name of a mother and create a lasting memory, which will not only protect the environment but also contribute to building a greener and more prosperous future. Both mother and nature are the fundamental bases of life, and through this initiative, we are fulfilling our responsibility.
