Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam: A Tribute to Nurturing Nature

“Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” (One Tree in the Name of Mother) is a popular Indian environmental campaign launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. This initiative encourages citizens to plant a tree as a tribute to their mothers, drawing a parallel between a mother’s nurturing role and the vital role of trees in sustaining life.
The campaign promotes both environmental stewardship and a personal connection to nature. As part of this initiative, on September 17, 2025, Scouts and Guides, Rovers, and Rangers from different districts planted saplings in their local areas and on barren land. The campaign encourages participants to care for the planted trees, thereby contributing to a greener India.
