New Delhi: The Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has successfully met its ambitious target of planting 80 crore seedlings under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign by September 2024. Launched on World Environment Day, June 5, 2024, the initiative aimed to promote environmental restoration and honor mothers through tree planting. The milestone was achieved through the collective efforts of government agencies, village-level institutions, local communities, and various stakeholders.
The ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign encourages people to plant a tree in honor of their mothers, as a symbol of love, respect, and commitment to protecting both trees and the planet. The initiative also aims to combat land degradation and promote the eco-restoration of degraded land areas across the country.
