UP targets 35 crore saplings in a day under mega plantation drive 2026
Lucknow: Uttar Pradesh is set to script a new environmental milestone, with chief minister Yogi Adityanath announcing a target to plant over 35 crore saplings in a single day under the Mega Plantation Campaign-2026. Reviewing preparations on Sunday, the CM stressed that tree plantation must evolve into a sustained public movement rather than remain a symbolic exercise.
Calling for widespread participation, he urged every student to plant at least one sapling and directed each Anganwadi centre to plant five drumstick (Moringa) saplings under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign. He also prioritised large-scale plantation along both sides of the Ganga Expressway and along riverbanks, with 4.35 crore saplings planned for riparian zones.
Emphasising quality and survival, the CM directed scientific planning, free supply of quality saplings, and tech-based monitoring through apps, GIS mapping and QR tracking. With an 80% survival rate recorded in 2025, the focus has now shifted to ensuring long-term sustainability of plantations.
