Rajya Sabha MP, Harsh Vardhan Shringla, called on citizens to participate in the ‘Ek ped Maa ke naam’ campaign by planting a tree on World Environment Day. He emphasized the importance of increasing green cover to combat the effects of climate change, citing extreme weather patterns in various regions. Shringla highlighted his own contribution to the campaign by planting a guava tree and a neem tree.
The ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, aims to mobilize people to plant trees and raise environmental awareness. World Environment Day, observed annually on June 5, serves as a global platform to address environmental issues and promote sustainable practices. The event originated from the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 and has since grown into a worldwide movement.
Encouraging collective action towards afforestation, Shringla stressed the significance of individual contributions in fostering a greener environment. He urged citizens to support the campaign and participate in initiatives that promote environmental conservation. World Environment Day underscores the importance of addressing challenges like climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss through collaborative efforts.
