Delhi's Green Drive: 70 Lakh Saplings for Mother Earth

During the first week of July, Delhi is celebrating Van Mahotsav with a significant push towards green living. The Delhi Government has launched the Green Drive Portal under the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, setting an ambitious goal to plant 70 lakh saplings throughout the city.

This initiative is inspiring many eco-conscious individuals and communities. Participants view planting a tree as a sacred act of giving back to nature. To ensure sustained involvement, some friends have committed to attending tree plantation drives as part of their regular social activities.

The monsoon season provides an ideal climate for sapling survival and growth, attracting enthusiastic volunteers. Organizations like the Think Good Foundation report active participation from students, families, and corporate teams in recent eco-drives, where attendees engage in creating seed bombs and planting native species.

Efforts are being made to ensure that planted trees are nurtured and maintained. Groups like Delhi Greens regularly follow up on saplings. They also organize plantation workshops and drives in educational institutions and corporate settings, encouraging broader community engagement.

Residents can actively participate by booking slots on the Green Drive Portal for Delhi Government's mega plantation drive. For those interested in volunteering or organizing drives, contact details for Delhi Greens, Think Good Foundation, and Give Me Trees are available.
