Rajasthan has achieved the laudable feat of surpassing its target of planting 10 crore saplings under the ‘Hariyalo Rajasthan’ mega campaign this monsoon season, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said.
“Inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign, we had set a target of planting 10 crore trees in the current monsoon season this year. We have already exceeded this ambitious mark by planting 10,21,22,351 plants, since April 1 until August 19, 2025”, Chief Minister Sharma has announced here.
