Which Indian initiative, presented at COFO 28, has seen more than 3.5 billion saplings planted?
- A.MISHTI
- B.Aravalli Green Wall
- C.Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam - Plant4Mother
- D.Green India Mission
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam - Plant4Mother. India showcased it at the Rome session as a whole-of-government and whole-of-society initiative, and reported that more than 3.5 billion saplings have been planted under it. Option A is wrong because MISHTI is the coastal initiative that restores mangroves, strengthens climate resilience and supports local livelihoods, and no sapling figure of this kind was attached to it. Option B is wrong because the Aravalli Green Wall is a land restoration programme under which about 6.45 million hectares of degraded land have been identified, which is an area figure rather than a planting count. Option D is wrong because that mission was not named in the statement delivered at this session. Candidates should link each initiative to its own distinct figure to avoid mixing them up.
