Speaking at the event, Parida explained the initiative, inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Ek Ped Maa ke Naam" (One Tree for Mother) campaign. "We have decided that members of Mission Shakti, along with officials from the Women and Child Welfare Department and the Tourism Department, will each plant at least one sapling. Mission Shakti members have been given the target of planting 2.5 crore saplings within a week," Parida said.
