New Delhi, August 8, 2026: In a significant initiative towards environmental conservation and creating a greener Delhi, Rotary E Club of Winter Haven, Rotary Club of Delhi Midwest, Rotary Club of Delhi Heights, and Rotary Club of Delhi South East joined hands for a special tree plantation drive titled “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” at Presidents Bodyguards Ground in Central Delhi.

The initiative was organised in the spirit of the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi and the environmental priorities of Hon’ble Chief Minister of Delhi Smt. Rekha Gupta, encouraging citizens to actively participate in creating a cleaner, greener and healthier environment.

The programme was attended by Governor Ajeet Jalan, along with Sandeep Yadav, Kamal Yadav, and members and representatives of the participating Rotary Clubs. A large number of trees were planted as part of the campaign, reinforcing the message that environmental protection is a collective responsibility.

Speaking to the press, Dr. Sandeep Marwah said, “Environment is no one’s property to destroy; it is everyone’s responsibility to protect. Every tree we plant today is an investment in the future of our children and generations to come. ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ is not merely a plantation campaign; it is an emotional commitment to Mother Earth and a call to every citizen to nurture and protect nature.”

Dr. Marwah further emphasised that such initiatives bring together government, civil society, Rotary organisations and citizens for a common cause. He called upon people, particularly the youth, to go beyond planting trees and take responsibility for their survival and growth.

The participating Rotary Clubs reiterated their commitment to environmental sustainability, community service and building greater awareness about the importance of trees and green spaces in urban areas.

The event concluded with a collective pledge to continue working for a greener Delhi and to inspire more citizens to join the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” movement.
