The Adani Group, as part of its pledge to plant 100 million trees by 2030, has come forward to support the Madhya Pradesh Government in providing 11 lakh saplings for Indore.
The green drive was conducted from July 7 to 15 and is in line with the group's commitment to a sustainable future.
Expressing concerns over the rising temperatures recorded this year, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and Madhya Pradesh Minister, Kailash Vijayvargiya, took a pledge to plant 5.5 crore trees across 55 districts in the state.
The effort is part of the larger 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign initiated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with a target to plant 1.4 billion trees across the country.
Of the 51 lakh trees, that will be planted in Indore, the Adani Group will provide 11 lakh saplings. The saplings would be of 25 different species that would help create biodiversity in the city's green zone.
