Under this drive, the team is set to break the old record of planting 3, 03,000 saplings in Turkey in 2019 and found space in Guinness Book World Records.

The preparations are in place in Adilabad district. In Bela mandal, 2 lakh plants have been arranged. In the urban region of the district, 1,80,000 plantations will be done in more than 45,000 houses and 1,20,000 saplings would be planted on either side of roads.

Commenting on the mass plantation drive, Santosh Kumar said “Mother Nature is where our survival is completely dependent upon. Covid has caused immense damage to the environment and we learnt how important it is to conserve our natural resources in the last two years. I urge everyone to be a part of the Green India Challenge. Join hands by planting three saplings and nominating three others to take this forward.”
