Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Campaign

Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Campaign

The Ministry of Defence has announced a major tree plantation initiative, aiming to plant 15 lakh trees across India on the occasion of the 78th Independence Day on 15th August 2024. This initiative is part of the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, which encourages individuals and organizations to plant trees in honor of mothers.

The campaign, launched by the Prime Minister on World Environment Day 2024, emphasizes the importance of environmental conservation and the symbolic gesture of planting a tree as a tribute to mothers.

The plantation drive will be a collaborative effort, involving the three armed services, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Defence Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), Controller General of Defence Accounts (CGDA), National Cadet Corps (NCC), Sainik Schools, and Ordnance Factories.

This large-scale initiative not only contributes to environmental sustainability but also promotes a sense of responsibility toward the preservation of nature, aligning with the broader goals of protecting the planet for future generations.
