Ahmedabad Claims to Have Completed 50-Lakh Tree Plantation Target Under ‘Mission Five Million Tree’

Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has claimed that it has completed the target of planting 50 lakh trees under its ‘Mission Five Million Tree’ campaign, which was launched on June 5, 2026, on World Environment Day.

The campaign was aimed at increasing the city’s green cover and strengthening its environmental resilience.

CM Patel Plants Tree At Bhadaj

A tree plantation programme was organised at Bhadaj to mark what the AMC described as the completion of the 50-lakh plantation target. Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel participated in the programme and planted a tree.

The AMC said the campaign was inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ initiative.

Citizens, Institutions Participated In Campaign

According to the AMC, citizens, social and voluntary organisations, educational institutions, industries, various organisations and public representatives participated in the plantation drive.

The civic body said the campaign was aimed not only at increasing the number of trees but also at expanding Ahmedabad’s green cover, protecting the environment, improving air quality and strengthening the city’s resilience to climate change.

AMC To Focus On Tree Maintenance

With the claimed 50-lakh plantation target completed, the AMC said its focus would now shift to the maintenance, nurturing and protection of the trees planted under the campaign.

The civic body said the plantation and maintenance efforts would continue as part of its long-term plan to make Ahmedabad greener and more environmentally sustainable.
