Wonderful initiative! 👏 Planting trees in mother's name is such a beautiful concept that combines love for family with environmental care. Our cities desperately need more green cover. Hope more ministries and citizens join this movement.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope the ministry ensures proper maintenance of these saplings. Too often we see plantation drives where 70% of trees die within months. Watering and care is as important as planting!

Great to see government departments leading by example. But why only in Delhi? Mining areas across India need such drives more urgently to compensate for environmental damage. Ministry should focus on mining-affected regions too.

Planted a neem sapling in my mother's name last week! 🌱 The emotional connect makes you care for the tree like family. More such innovative campaigns needed to make environmentalism personal for Indians.

Good initiative but photos show mostly senior officials planting trees. Would be better if they involved local residents and school children too. Environmental awareness should start at grassroots level.

The concept of 'Maa' (mother) resonates deeply in Indian culture. Linking it with tree plantation is brilliant! My housing society is now planning a similar drive for Mother's Day next year. Small steps lead to big changes!
