PM Modi Launches ‘Aravali Green Wall’ Project On World Environment Day

PM Narendra Modi on Thursday launched the ambitious ‘Aravali Green Wall’ project by planting a sapling at Bhagwan Mahavir Vanasthali Park in the national capital.

The project, which aligns with the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative, aims to reforest the 700-kilometre-long Aravalli range that spans Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Gujarat.

The event marked India’s commitment to environmental sustainability on World Environment Day.

Sharing images of the plantation drive on X, PM Modi wrote, “Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we strengthened the #EkPedMaaKeNaam initiative with a special tree plantation drive. I planted a sapling at the Bhagwan Mahavir Vanasthali Park in Delhi. This is also a part of our effort to reforest the Aravalli range – the Aravalli Green Wall project.”

The Prime Minister further added that the initiative seeks to combat environmental degradation in the region and contribute to the rejuvenation of groundwater systems, curbing desertification, and improving air quality.

Project To Act As Natural Barrier Against Desertification

The Aravali Green Wall will create a green barrier from Delhi to Gujarat against desert expansion.

The Prime Minister stressed that the government will collaborate with local administrations to ensure the project’s success.

“Our focus is to rejuvenate areas linked with this range. We will work closely with local bodies to improve water systems, reduce dust storms, and revive ecological balance,” PM Modi said.

Modern Technology To Enhance Transparency

PM Modi said all plantation activities will be geo-tagged and tracked through the Meri LiFE portal.

He called upon the youth of India to actively participate in increasing the country’s green cover.

The government plans to establish 1,000 permanent nurseries to support the project. Satellite mapping and digital tools will be used to enhance project speed and ensure accountability.

The Aravalli range, one of India’s oldest mountain systems, has faced significant ecological stress due to urbanisation and mining activities. Through this initiative, the government aims to restore its biodiversity and strengthen its ecological role.

The range is home to 22 wildlife sanctuaries and four tiger reserves, including Ranthambore, Sariska, Ramgarh-Vishdhari, and Mukunda Hills.

The Aravali Green Wall Project marks a renewed push for ecological conservation and community-led green efforts.
