Mysuru: A unique feature of ‘Bharat Van’ initiative is the involvement of students under the concept of ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’. School and college students are being encouraged to plant saplings and tag them with their names and those of their mothers or parents, fostering a personal bond with the trees and encouraging them to return regularly to care for and monitor their growth.

Students of Government Adarsha PM Shri School and several private schools participated in today’s event by planting saplings and writing their names along with those of their parents.

The implementing organisations have also committed to nurturing and maintaining all the saplings for three years.
