The Mann government has taken a step for Punjab’s future that is not only physical but also an emotional legacy for our coming generations. Under the ‘Greening Punjab Mission’, the forest department’s commitment to making the state green is not just a numbers game, but a new bond of love with Punjab’s soil. This mission shows that when the government takes a pledge, our relationship with nature can become deep and beautiful. The Mann government has shown unprecedented courage and honest commitment through the ‘Greening Punjab Mission’, which is truly praiseworthy. This is not just a scheme—it is the biggest emotional initiative for environmental conservation in Punjab’s history!
The Mann government has proven that for them, the environment is not just a formality but a priority. Planting nearly 12.5 lakh saplings, that too with such speed and dedication, is an administrative miracle. This shows that the Forest and Wildlife Conservation Department, under the government’s guidance, is working with heart. Punjab’s forest department has created new history by planting over 12,55,700 saplings. This number is not just about trees and plants, but reflects our commitment to clean air, cool shade, and a healthy environment. Every plant tells a story—of helping our cities breathe, protecting our agricultural land, and maintaining the sanctity of gardens established in the name of Gurus.
|Category |Number of Plants|
|Urban Forestry |3,31,000 |
|Poplar/Deak |2,50,000 |
|White Trees |3,00,000 |
|Nanak Gardens |20,800 |
|Industrial Areas|46,500 |
|Schools |1,44,500 |
|Tall Saplings |1,62,900 |
|Total Plants|12,55,700|
This greenery is giving clean air to children in our schools, absorbing pollution from industries, and making cities peaceful and beautiful. Plants planted in ‘Nanak Gardens’ are awakening the feeling of love for nature in accordance with Guru Sahib’s teachings. This means our children are starting their education close to nature—they will see trees grow, play in their shade, and ‘Green Punjab’ will become an integral part of their lives. The Wildlife Conservation Department is putting all its effort into making this mission successful. Their every effort ensures that these small plants are not just planted but grow into dense, strong trees. This is not just a government scheme, it is a people’s movement, which the department is inspiring at every step.
The Forest and Wildlife Conservation Department is leaving no stone unturned in making this green mission successful. The dedication of officers and employees is commendable. Under this initiative, the Mann government has planted trees on several thousand acres of land in Punjab so far. This shows that the government is not just talking but doing concrete ground work. Punjab, which was once known for its green crops, is now regaining its natural greenery too. This mission is a strong foundation towards making Punjab pollution-free, fighting climate change, and improving water levels.
Amidst the increasing pollution in Punjab’s air, these millions of plants will absorb millions of tons of carbon dioxide in the future and give us pure oxygen. This is the most priceless gift to our next generation. These trees will help recharge underground water, which is the biggest challenge for Punjab. Every plant is a soldier saving every drop of water. By planting trees in schools (1,44,500 plants), industrial areas (46,500 plants), and Nanak Gardens (20,800 plants), the government has connected every citizen with this green revolution. This is the beginning of a people’s movement.
Under this initiative of the Mann government, tree plantation has been done on several thousand acres of land in Punjab so far. This green spread is not only necessary for the environment but is also reviving Punjab’s cultural and historical richness. This is an investment whose benefits will continue for generations. This ‘Greening Punjab Mission’ reminds us how government and citizens together can build a better tomorrow. This is not just development, it is our true and deep love for nature. Let us all become participants in this sacred work and realize this dream of Punjab’s green future. This ‘Greening Punjab Mission’ is not just the government’s but every Punjabi’s mission. It reminds us that our future is in our hands, and when government and people work together for a sacred goal, such incredible and emotional results emerge.
The Mann government has proven that they are focused not only on present problems but on the future of the next 50 years. The spirit with which this mission is moving forward tells us that Punjab will soon regain its old ‘flourishing’ form. The Mann government has given Punjab not just good governance but the greenery of hope. This is an investment whose benefit every Punjabi, without any discrimination, will reap.
