Planting trees restores what weve taken from nature- CM Dr. Yadav

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav expressed that the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” tree plantation campaign, launched by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, is a testament to his commitment to protecting the environment and enhancing the beauty of our planet. This initiative reflects a deep gratitude for the gifts of nature bestowed upon us and serves as a way to give back. By planting trees, we not only work towards healing the environmental damage caused by development but also strive to maintain the delicate balance of our ecosystem. Dr. Yadav shared these sentiments during a plantation program organized by the Energy Department at Nishtha Complex in Govindpura, under the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign. During the event, he planted an Amla sapling on the campus, joined by Energy Minister Shri Pradyuman Singh Tomar, Mayor Smt. Malti Rai, and Additional Chief Secretary of Energy Shri Manu Srivastava.

Planting saplings for mothers has connected people emotionally

Chief Minister Dr. Yadav remarked that Indian culture reveres the mother and her power, and by naming the tree plantation campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam,” Prime Minister Shri Modi has created an emotional connection for everyone involved. Planting a tree in honor of our mother or in her memory symbolizes our desire to give back to nature what we have received. Indian culture places great importance on trees, as reflected in the Brahma Purana, which equates the value of one tree to that of ten sons. During the event, Chief Minister Dr. Yadav also unveiled the mascots (a boy named Vidyut and a girl named Bijli) introduced by the Energy Department. Additionally, a tree-shaped symbol was presented to Chief Minister Dr. Yadav to mark the occasion.

Energy Minister Shri Tomar plants a sapling

Energy Minister Shri Pradyumna Singh Tomar also planted an Amla sapling in Nishtha campus. He said that under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign, tree planting activities are being conducted in various premises of the Energy Department located in the state. Along with the plantation done by Chief Minister Dr. Yadav, one hundred saplings are being planted in the Nishtha complex located in Govindpura and one lakh saplings are being planted in the state. Minister Shri Tomar expressed his gratitude to Chief Minister Dr. Yadav for his participation in the plantation.
