JAMMU, Feb 4: A Plantation drive under the campaign ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam/ Plant4Mother’ organised by POWERGRID Northern Region was launched here today.
The drive was launched by Tarun Bajaj, Executive Director POWERGRID Northern Region Transmission System –II, in presence of senior officials and all employees of POWERGRID.
Speaking on the occasion, Tarun Bajaj emphasized on the importance of collective efforts to improve the environment.
“The essence of ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ is a symbolic gesture, planting a tree in the name of one’s mother. This simple act serves a dual purpose: honouring 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. POWERGRID has set a target of planting around 5000 trees in Jammu region till March 2025 with support of J&K Forests Department and Jammu Municipality,” he said.
‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ is a movement, launched by PM Narendra Modi that reflects India’s commitment to a sustainable and environmentally conscious future.
