Under PM Modi’s visionary leadership, India has made unprecedented progress in environmental protection, climate action, sustainable development, and the rapid expansion of renewable energy. From enhancing greenery to reviving ecosystems and leading global initiatives, India has set a new benchmark in balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability. The success of the ‘One Tree in the Name of Mother’ campaign initiated by PM Modi has transformed environmental protection into a people’s movement, inspiring millions to contribute to a greener and more sustainable future. As we celebrate World Environment Day, let us reaffirm our commitment to protecting ‘Mother Earth’ and leaving behind a green, clean, and prosperous world for future generations.”
