Chief Minister Mohan Yadav stated
that Indore, already the cleanest city in India and the economic capital of
Madhya Pradesh, has now achieved the world record of planting more than 11
lakh saplings in a single day. The programme was organised by the
state government. Indore is now number 1 in the world. My
brothers and sisters of Indore, I congratulate you all for creating history in
the plantation after cleanliness,” Yadav said in a post on his official X
account while sharing the Guinness World Records certificate and pictures of
receiving it.
Earlier in the day, Union Home Minister
Amit Shah participated in the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam‘ campaign and
planted a sapling. The “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign was
launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 5 to
mark World Environment Day. Under this drive, approximately 140
crore trees will be planted across the country, including 5.5 crore in
Madhya Pradesh, which Shah described as the ‘lungs of Bharat.‘
Indore, which has been recognised as the country’s cleanest city for
several years as per the Swachh Survekshan, will see 51 lakh saplings
planted during this campaign, officials said. The plantation drive was
carried out at the BSF Academy’s Revati Range, which was divided
into nine zones and 100 sub-zones.
Officials said that besides 2,000 BSF
jawans, more than 100 NRIs, NCC cadets from 50 schools, a large number of
citizens, and members of various social organisations participated in this
plantation drive. According to the Guinness World Record website, the previous
record for the most saplings planted in 24 hours was 9,21,730. This record was
achieved by the Assam (India) government’s Forest Department
at Udalguri on September 13 and 14, 2023.
It was the visionary idea of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi who called upon the people to plant trees for the sake
of our mothers and our mother earth and join the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’
campaign, he said. “When Modi ji started this campaign, no one had any idea
that this campaign would become a people’s movement. Today, people are paying respect to their Mother and Mother Earth by
planting saplings, associated with this campaign,” Shah said, adding that the
tree plantation campaign is an apt reply to climate change.
