This is great for our quest towards sustainable development. It is also commendable how local communities have risen to the occasion and taken a lead in this.”

“आज विश्व पर्यावरण दिवस पर मुझे #एक_पेड़_माँ_के_नाम अभियान शुरू कर अत्यंत प्रसन्नता हो रही है। मैं देशवासियों के साथ ही दुनियाभर के लोगों से आग्रह करता हूं कि वे अपनी माँ के साथ मिलकर या उनके नाम पर एक पेड़ जरूर लगाएं। ये आपकी तरफ से उन्हें एक अनमोल उपहार होगा। इससे जुड़ी तस्वीर आप #Plant4Mother, #एक_पेड़_माँ_के_नाम के साथ जरूर साझा करें।”
