PM Modi planted a Banyan sapling at Bhagwan Mahavir Vanasthali Park in New Delhi on June 5.
The event was take place under the banner of the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, a heartfelt initiative encouraging individuals to plant trees in honour of their mothers, celebrating maternal care and environmental nurturing.
This plantation drive is part of the larger 'Aravalli Green Wall Project', an ambitious ecological initiative focused on restoring the green cover across the 700-km-long Aravalli range.
The project spans 29 districts across Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat, aiming to revitalise the degraded ecosystem through afforestation, reforestation, and the restoration of local water bodies. It also seeks to enhance soil health, improve water availability, and boost biodiversity, while generating employment and livelihood opportunities for local communities.
The efforts of afforestation and clean transportation reflect the broader vision of aligning ecological preservation with inclusive development.
