New Delhi, 25 June 2025: In a symbolic gesture of environmental commitment and emotional resonance, Delhi’s Environment Minister Shri Manjinder Singh Sirsa today led a tree plantation drive at SKV School, Rajouri Garden under the ongoing nationwide campaign “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” initiated by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

Joining hands with students and teachers, Minister Sirsa planted saplings and urged everyone to treat each planted tree as a tribute to their mother. “More than a plantation drive — it’s a deeply emotional campaign that expresses gratitude to our mothers while actively contributing to Delhi’s green cover,” he said.

To strengthen this movement and ensure long-term environmental awareness, the Delhi Government has now reoriented all Eco Clubs in schools as “Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE”. These clubs are planting trees across Delhi and are working across themes like saving energy, reducing waste, cutting single-use plastics, and promoting sustainable habits among students.

During the event, students presented poems and messages on nature, drawing applause from the gathering. The Minister lauded their enthusiasm, calling them the “green ambassadors of Delhi”. A collective pledge was taken to protect trees and promote sustainable habits. Shri Sirsa added that the government is working with unwavering focus on policies that deliver tangible and lasting improvements in Delhi’s air quality, and that community involvement, especially of youth, will remain central to that vision.

With the capital facing increasing environmental challenges, the government has pledged to increase green spaces across Delhi. Initiatives like Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam serve as a catalyst for behavioural change, especially among the youth — Delhi’s green warriors of tomorrow.
