										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>New Delhi</strong>: The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched a large-scale ecological restoration programme across the Delhi Ridge under the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign. As part of the initiative, the authority aims to plant 23 lakh indigenous saplings across the national capital under the 70 Lakh Plantation Mission. To restore the Ridge’s natural ecosystem, around 16,240 invasive trees and shrubs are being removed, while nearly one lakh indigenous trees and 81,700 native shrubs will be planted. The objective is to revive the original structure, biodiversity and ecological functions of the Ridge forests rather than merely increasing Delhi’s green cover.</p>
<p>The plantation drive will continue throughout the ongoing planting season as the DDA works towards achieving its ambitious plantation target. To make the campaign a people’s movement, the authority has partnered with Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs), educational institutions, religious organisations, corporate bodies and volunteer groups. Through these collaborations, the DDA aims to encourage greater public participation and strengthen community involvement in greening and conserving Delhi’s environment.</p>
