The Delhi government aims to plant 70 lakh saplings under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam – Delhi Mega Plantation Drive 2026’, which will be launched on June 22, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said on Monday (June 15, 2026). 

The government plans to increase public participation in the annual monsoon plantation drive by introducing digital certificates to people who plant saplings. 

People can register on the ‘e-Forest Green Drive Portal’ using only their mobile number, name, and address. After registration, citizens can select a plantation site from where a sapling will also be given to them for free. After uploading a geo-tagged photograph after planting the sapling, the person will instantly obtain a ‘Paryavaran Rakshak’ e-certificate signed by the Chief Minister from the portal, as per the CMO. 

Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said that ‘Vriksh Raths’ will be deployed to ensure the success of the campaign and these mobile units will deliver free saplings to colonies, residential complexes, schools, colleges, RWAs, religious institutions and other public locations, while also providing on-the-spot guidance for plantation activities. Every participant will be recognised as a ‘Paryavaran Rakshak’ and Chief Minister-signed certificates, T-shirts and caps will also be provided. 

Each sapling will be recorded on Delhi’s digital green map, allowing citizens to view their contribution, as per the CMO.
