We have about 55 lakh drumstick plants. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said that plants of different varieties will be planted in the entire state. Under this, a comprehensive campaign will be run and plantation will be done in gram panchayats, municipal bodies, parks, roadsides, vacant places.

CM Yogi said that 30-35 crore saplings will be planted in this Mahabhiyan. This program has started right now. On 20th July, everyone will participate in the Mahaparva of Vriksharopan Mahabhiyan by planting record number of saplings. Programs will be conducted from time to time to take care of these saplings. CM urged that the person who plants the tree should also protect it.
