The “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign, which aims to increase the state’s green cover and encourage environmental protection, was introduced on Thursday by Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai.
At his official Raipur residence, Sai planted a Dahiman sapling and encouraged others to plant trees in memory of their moms.
A common plant in Surguja, dahiman aids in the treatment of a number of ailments.
The people have been urged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to plant trees in memory of their moms.
Chhattisgarh has arranged a state-level event called ‘Van Mahotsav’ for July 11, during which 70 lakh saplings are to be planted around the state.
