In Chhattisgarh, as part of this initiative, the Forest Department plans to plant 3.85 crore saplings in both forest and non-forest areas. Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has proposed naming the plantation sites after local deities. The campaign involves planting various fruit trees such as mango, jamun, bel, jackfruit, custard apple, pomegranate, mulberry, plum, tendu, Ganga imli, as well as medicinal plants like Harra, Baheda, Amla, Neem, Putranjiva, Kala Siras, Reetha, Chitrak, among others. Urban areas will see the planting of shade-bearing species like Banyan, Peepal, Maulshree, Kadam, Peltophorum, Gulmohar, Karanja, Ashoka, Arjun, alongside other species. Schools, hostels, Anganwadi centers, police posts, hospitals, government premises, and various industrial institutions’ vacant lands are all designated for tree plantation activities under this campaign.
Meanwhile, the primary goal of this initiative is to maintain environmental balance by increasing green cover in Chhattisgarh through extensive tree planting efforts. The campaign is being implemented with the cooperation of all government departments, NGOs, voluntary organizations, panchayat institutions at all levels, schools, colleges, eminent citizens, and public representatives.
