CM Dr Manik Saha launches statewide plantation under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 campaign
Jun 18, 2025Chief Minister Dr Manik Saha on Wednesday launched the state wide plantation drive under Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0 campaign at Maharani Tulsibati Girls' H.S. School.
Addressing the gathering in the programme, the Chief Minister Dr Saha emphasised on the collective responsibility to preserve nature for future generations. He also stressed on maintaining the ecological balance. This is not just an environmental initiative, but also an emotional, cultural, and social commitment dedicated to our mothers, motherland, and Mother Nature, he added.
He urged the people of the State to plant a tree in the name of their mother, motherland, or Mother Nature and contribute to a greener Tripura. “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam 2.0” is not just a plantation drive—it is a pledge of respect towards mothers and a responsibility towards Earth.
The chief minister further said that on the occasion of World Environment Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign, a unique initiative combining environmental responsibility with a heartfelt tribute to mothers. This campaign was inaugurated on June 5, 2024, with the planting of a Peepal tree by the Prime Minister at Buddha Jayanti Park in Delhi.
The essence of 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' is a symbolic gesture—planting a tree in the name of one' mother. This simple act serves a dual purpose: honoring the role of mothers in nurturing life and contributing to the health of the planet. Trees are life-sustaining, and just like a mother, they provide sustenance, protection, and a future for the next generation, Dr Saha said.
