Mar 28, 2025

Gujarat's 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, launched by PM Narendra Modi on June 5, 2024, has driven massive environmental conservation efforts. Under CM Bhupendra Patel, the state planted 17.32 crore trees, ranking 2nd nationwide, with Kutch leading at 2.94 crore trees despite its dry terrain. This success is due to government, community, and student participation, with young eco-warriors playing a crucial role. Gujarat’s green milestone stands as a model for India, proving that collective action and leadership can build a sustainable future.
