The "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" campaign was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on World Environment Day, June 5, 2024. The initiative combines environmental conservation with a tribute to mothers and was inaugurated by the Prime Minister through the planting of a Peepal tree at Buddha Jayanti Park in New Delhi.
