How Kangana Ranaut strengthened PM Modi's initiative 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' on World Environment Day

Actress Kangana Ranaut supports PM Modi's tree plantation campaign, planting a sapling on World Environment Day to honor maternal values

"Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we strengthened the #EkPedMaaKeNaam initiative - Kangana Ranaut"

Mumbai, June 5

On the occasion of World Environment Day, actress and newly-elected BJP MP Kangana Ranaut participated in a special tree plantation initiative under the campaign ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam.’

Taking to social media, Kangana revealed that she planted a sapling at her Delhi residence to mark the day, dedicating the gesture to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In her post, the actress expressed heartfelt gratitude to environmental warriors who tirelessly work to protect and restore the Earth’s natural resources. She acknowledged those who have devoted their lives to saving rivers, cleaning the planet—particularly the oceans—from plastic waste, and nurturing the soil.

Ranaut shared a series of photos in which she is seen planting a sapling at her residence in Delhi. For the caption, she wrote, “Today, on #WorldEnvironmentDay, we strengthened the #EkPedMaaKeNaam initiative by honourable @narendramodi ji with a special tree plantation drive. I planted a sapling at my Delhi house. Also, on this environment day we pay heartfelt gratitude to all those who have dedicated their lives to saving the soil and the rivers also cleaning the planet especially oceans from plastic waste.”

The Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam initiative was launched last year on the occasion of World Environment Day. The initiative encourages individuals to plant trees in honor of their mothers, symbolizing love, care, and nurturing—values that also extend to our planet. On June 5, Prime Minister Modi launched the second phase of the nationwide tree plantation campaign, Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam, at Mahavir Jayanti Park in New Delhi. The initiative, which urges individuals to plant a tree in honor of their mothers, has entered its 2.0 version with a renewed goal—planting 10 crore trees across India between June 5 and September 30.

PM Modi tweeted, “This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let’s deepen our efforts towards protecting our planet and overcoming the challenges we face. I also compliment all those working at the grassroots to make our environment greener and better.”

Great initiative by Kangana ji! Planting trees is the need of the hour, and dedicating it to mothers makes it even more special. Our PM's vision for a greener India is truly inspiring. Let's all plant at least one tree this season 🌱 #EkPedMaaKeNaam

While I appreciate the sentiment, I wish more celebrities would focus on actual environmental work rather than just photo ops. Planting one tree is good, but what about reducing carbon footprints from private jets and luxury lifestyles? Just saying...

Kangana didi setting an example! In our village in Bihar, we've planted 50 neem trees under this campaign. Mother nature is indeed like a mother who gives us everything selflessly. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳

The concept of dedicating trees to mothers is so beautiful and culturally appropriate for India. My children planted a mango tree for me last week - best gift ever! More power to such initiatives that connect environment with our values.

Hope this isn't just another PR stunt. We need proper monitoring to ensure these planted saplings actually grow into trees. Many such campaigns fail because there's no follow-up care. The intention is good though.

Love how Kangana is using her platform for good causes now that she's an MP. Planting trees is wonderful, but I hope she also raises important environmental issues in Parliament like air pollution and water conservation.
