He added, “Inspired by our esteemed Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji and with the honourable presence of Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah ji, Madhya Pradesh has proudly achieved this remarkable feat, conveying a powerful message of nature conservation and dedicated service to Mother Earth.”
Guinness World Record’s consultant, Nishchal Barot, told ANI that the previous record was held by Assam, where 926,000 saplings were planted in a single day.
“The title of this Guinness World Record is ‘Most trees planted by a team within 24 hours’. We started this record on July 13 at 7:03 pm, and it continued until today at 7:03 pm. The good thing is that Indore broke the old record at 5:00 pm. Assam held the old record for planting 926,000 saplings in 24 hours. The numbers will be released later. However, we have handed the certificate of the new world record to CM Mohan Yadav,” he said.
The plantation site, Revati Range, was divided into 9 zones and 100 sub-zones. The mega plantation drive was monitored through 100 cameras, and it took around 46 days for the administration to prepare for this drive.
Earlier on Saturday, Urban Administration Minister Kailash Vijayvargiya addressed a press conference to share information about the upcoming world record and the preparations made for the mega plantation drive on Sunday.
Urban Administration Minister Vijayavargiya and Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava congratulated the citizens, along with BSF soldiers and over 200 social, educational, religious, and business organisations that participated in the plantation drive.
“The vision for planting 11 lakh saplings was conceived on May 27. After 46 days of hard work and a dedicated team, we have reached this significant milestone today,” Vijayavargiya said.
