In a major step towards sustainable urban development and environmental conservation, Gujarat Chief Minister Mr. Bhupendra Patel led a tree plantation initiative at the garden behind Sabarmati Jail in Ranip Ward, Ahmedabad. The activity was part of the city’s large-scale ‘Mission Four Million Trees’ campaign, which aims to significantly boost the region’s green cover and improve ecological balance.

This initiative, undertaken by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), reflects the Gujarat Government’s firm commitment to building a Greener Gujarat. The Chief Minister’s Office lauded the collective efforts of various stakeholders, including civic authorities, community groups, and citizens.

Urban Greening Gains Momentum Under Mission Four Million Trees

By early September, the campaign had achieved an impressive milestone by planting 40,80,180 saplings, reinforcing the success of the state’s meticulous planning and timely execution. The campaign encourages citizen participation, urging individuals to not only plant but also protect the saplings, thereby ensuring sustainable results.

Urban green cover is crucial for enhancing air quality, reducing the urban heat island effect, and strengthening climate resilience—key pillars of the Gujarat Government’s developmental and environmental policy framework.

Integration of Religious and Community-Led Initiatives

Further enriching the initiative’s reach, religious and cultural organizations were actively involved in parallel plantation drives. Notably, 54,883 tulsi plants and other religiously significant saplings were distributed through temples and community centers. On the occasion of Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi’s birthday, 12,820 tulsi plants were distributed across religious sites in Ahmedabad, strengthening the emotional and spiritual connect to nature conservation.

These efforts are symbolic of Gujarat’s inclusive development model that integrates ecological responsibility with cultural values.

Tech-Driven Monitoring and Miyawaki Plantation to Enhance Impact

To ensure transparency and scientific monitoring, AMC has adopted advanced tools such as Google Maps and LIDAR technology for tracking the plantation coverage and survival rates. These tools allow for data-backed decision-making and better management of plantation efforts.

In a progressive move, the AMC also announced plans to plant 14,000 additional trees using the Miyawaki method, a technique known for growing dense, fast-growing, and sustainable urban forests. This phase will involve collaboration with a wide range of stakeholders including local residents, NGOs, schools, and corporate partners.

Gujarat’s Green Push Aligned with National Development Goals

This large-scale plantation effort not only contributes to Ahmedabad’s urban planning goals but also aligns with national sustainability targets including India’s Panchamrit climate commitments and LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) mission led by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi.

The campaign showcases how local governance, under visionary leadership, can contribute meaningfully to global climate action while improving urban living standards.

Gujarat’s ‘Mission Four Million Trees’ is a testament to the power of collaborative environmental action, strategic governance, and public participation. Under the leadership of Mr. Bhupendra Patel, this initiative reinforces the state’s vision of integrating ecological sustainability with urban development, creating a replicable model for other Indian cities.
