NDMC Vice Chairman Kuljeet Singh Chahal highlighted that “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” is more than just a campaign; it is a heartfelt and social commitment urging us to respect our mothers and nature. The initiative, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has garnered significant public support in New Delhi. Chahal kickstarted the plantation campaign at Palika Niwas Housing Complex in Lodhi Colony, where he sought blessings at the Balaji Temple to mark the occasion.
The event saw active participation from RWA President Kaluram Rana, members Arvind Sharma and Shyamsunder Gautam, as well as other residents, contributing to the success of the drive. Women’s involvement further bolstered the initiative, making it a community-driven movement. Chahal emphasized that the initiative aims to raise environmental awareness, instill a sense of responsibility, and secure a greener future for generations to come.
Chahal reiterated the commitment to continue the initiative with regular plantation drives, ensuring its momentum and impact. NDMC has introduced a dedicated “Sunday Green Calendar” for the year, organizing weekly plantation activities at various locations. The corporation’s departments are collaborating to ensure proper planting techniques, maintenance, and sustainability of the saplings. Chahal noted that NDMC’s efforts align with the Prime Minister’s vision for a developed and environmentally conscious India by 2047.
The program also addressed maintenance concerns raised by RWA representatives, with Chahal directing officials to resolve them promptly. The initiative, symbolized by #EkPedMaaKeNaam_OnSunday, not only enhances greenery but also fosters a shared environmental responsibility among citizens.
