New Delhi, June 5 (NationPress) On this year’s World Environment Day, celebrated every June 5, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to plant a sapling at Mahavir Jayanti Park in the national capital, as part of the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Par' 2.0 initiative.

In a post shared on his X account, he stated, “This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let’s deepen our efforts towards protecting our planet and tackling the challenges we face. I also commend everyone working at the grassroots to make our environment greener and healthier.”
The sapling planting event at Mahavir Jayanti Park is part of the celebrations and initiatives held nationwide for World Environment Day and marks the anniversary of the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Par' initiative, which aims to honor both the environment and the concept of motherhood.
On this significant day, PM Modi will plant a sapling and celebrate the achievements of the program.
The 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Par 2.0' initiative aspires to plant 10 crore trees from June 5 to September 30 this year across India.
Last year on June 5, the Prime Minister launched the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign by planting a Peepal tree at Buddha Jayanti Park in Delhi.
The essence of 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' symbolizes planting a tree in honor of one's mother. This act serves a dual purpose: it honors the nurturing role of mothers and contributes to the planet's health, as trees are essential for life, providing sustenance, protection, and a future for generations to come.
Encouraging everyone to contribute to enhancing the condition of Earth, PM Modi emphasized that India has made significant strides over the past decade, leading to an increase in forest cover.
“You would be pleased to know that in the last decade, India has engaged in numerous collective efforts resulting in greater forest cover across the nation. This is a significant step towards sustainable development. It’s commendable how local communities have taken the lead in this endeavor,” PM Modi remarked on X.
