This programme was being conducted with the coordination of 27 departments. Sachan said that since 2017, greenery has increased in the state and now it is being ensured that if trees are cut due to any reason, they must be compensated for. He appealed to all the citizens that it was the responsibility of every person to plant trees and preserve them for a clean environment. On this occasion, MLA Neelima Katiyar said that 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam Maha Abhiyan' is a medium to express gratitude towards nature. She urged children and youth to plant one tree each and take care of it. Arun Pathak, MLC said that giving trees the status of 'mother', every citizen should dedicate a tree to mother and ensure its protection. He stressed the necessity of maintaining a balance between population and trees. Mayor Pramila Pandey said that trees were the basis for the safety of our future generations. "If we preserve greenery today, then the coming generations will get pure air, water and life", she said. Divisional forest officer Divya informed that a total of 46,87,889 saplings have been planted at various places in the district on Wednesday, which include fruit-bearing, shady and medicinal species of plants.
