Why Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 Tree Plantation Matters Nationally
Under the banner of Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 Tree Plantation, the initiative merges environmental responsibility with a heartfelt tribute to mothers—and aligns with national goals:
- 10 crore trees to be planted by schools and communities by September 2025.
- Schools integrate the campaign via the Eco Clubs for Mission LiFE portal and microsite, allowing students to upload selfies with their saplings and receive e-certificates.
- The aim: nurture emotional, social & environmental values among students while boosting green cover across India.
Powerful Moments at DAV Centenary Public School, Jaipur
On 31 July, DAV Centenary Public School, Vaishali Nagar, Jaipur, organized an enthusiastic tree plantation drive in sync with the national campaign.
- Students brought over 150 saplings—flowering, fruit-bearing, shade and medicinal varieties.
- Grand trees like Khejari, Karanj, Neem, Siris, Ashoka, Mango, Jamun, Amla were planted around the sports field; medicinal & ornamental species lined corridors and Shraddhanand Park.
- Principal Shri A.K. Sharma inaugurated the initiative by planting an Ashoka sapling, setting a motivational tone for the event.
Symbolism & Participation: Honouring Mothers Through Trees
In this Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 Tree Plantation drive, every student tagged their sapling with a message:
“Yeh ped meri maa ke naam” and a personal note promoting environmental care.
This symbolic gesture connects maternal tribute with ecological stewardship—honouring mothers while nurturing Mother Earth.
Local Impact: Eco Club & Student Engagement
The DAV ECO Club orchestrated the event as part of the school’s Environment Week, featuring themed morning assemblies and documentary screenings for Classes VI to X.
Students pledged to care for their planted saplings—cementing responsibility and follow-through in protecting their green legacies.
Broader Eco‑Movement in Rajasthan & India
Rajasthan state’s Mission Hariyalo Rajasthan aims to plant 50 crore trees over five years, dovetailing with the national initiative. This year alone, 10 crore saplings will be planted, including 2.5 crore on Hariyali Teej.
Together, these drives signal a powerful green movement across communities, schools, and government agencies.
After the Saplings: Care, Monitoring & Sustainability
To ensure long-term impact, the campaign integrates:
- Use of the Microsite & Eco Clubs portal, where students upload photos and receive e-certificates, while data helps track progress at grassroots level.
- Eco Clubs across over 14.7 lakh schools upload and share their activities through dashboards in multiple languages; this strengthens accountability and participation continuity.
Why This Drives Hope & Change
The Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 Tree Plantation drive at DAV Jaipur exemplifies how localized, symbolic acts—planting a tree for one’s mother—can integrate with national environmental missions.
Through unity of sentiment (honouring mothers) and action (community plantation), the campaign fosters a generation of green ambassadors committed to sustainable living and climate resilience.
