The message of “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” was also written with the Rakhi, which not only gives the message of environmental protection, but also shows respect for mother and Mother Earth.

Prime Minister Modi has started the campaign ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ in which every citizen is being encouraged to plant a tree. This campaign not only promotes environmental protection but is also a medium to show respect towards motherhood and Mother Earth. This occasion of Rakshabandhan was the right time to spread this campaign to the masses. The way the girl students expressed their feelings through Rakhi is really emotional.
