Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday stressed the need to make tree plantation a mass movement for protecting the environment and addressing the challenge of climate change.
He was speaking at an event to mark the completion of five years of his pledge to plant at least one sapling everyday.
Chouhan, who is also the minister of rural development, started this green initiative on February 19, 2021, on the occasion of Narmada Jayanti, when he planted saplings of ‘Rudraksha’ and ‘Sal’ at Amarkantak.
The minister has planted more than 6,000 saplings in the last five years.
Addressing the event, Chouhan announced that all the programmes organised by his two ministries would start with plantation of saplings.
