In a profound reflection on India’s rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection with nature, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath highlighted the wisdom of Indian traditions that regard trees and plants as sacred. Speaking on the occasion of the state’s ambitious tree plantation drive, CM Yogi said, “Indian wisdom has given us the message of Maa Bhumi: Putraham Prithviya: Our tradition does not consider trees and plants as just a part of the living world but sees God in them.”
This perspective, which reveres nature and its elements as divine, forms the backbone of the environmental initiatives undertaken by the Uttar Pradesh government. Under CM Yogi’s leadership, the state is set to achieve a remarkable milestone by planting 36.50 crore trees, reflecting a commitment to sustainable development and ecological balance.
With this initiative, CM Yogi underscores the timeless connection between humanity and nature, urging every citizen to play their part. He said, “With this eternal feeling, today Uttar Pradesh is going to fulfill the resolution of planting 36.50 crore trees.” The call to action is clear: every individual has a role in preserving the environment, and collective efforts are crucial for meaningful impact.
CM Yogi also echoed the sentiments of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, encouraging citizens to join the nationwide tree plantation campaign. He urged everyone to take part in the tree plantation campaign inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call to action with the hashtag #Ek_Ped_Maa_Ke_Naam. Come, fulfill the duty of being a son, plant trees, and save the environment.”
This campaign is more than just an environmental effort; it is a tribute to the age-old traditions that see the Earth as a mother and trees as embodiments of divine presence. By participating, citizens are not only contributing to ecological preservation but also honoring the cultural heritage that has always revered nature.
