Uttarakhand is set to celebrate the Harela festival on July 16, 2025, by planting more than 5 lakh saplings across the state, aiming to break its previous plantation record. The event is themed “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” and “Harela Ka Tyohar Manao, Dharti Maa Ka Rin Chukao,” promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices. Saplings will be planted across public and residential areas, and the initiative will see participation from schools, local communities, and government bodies. This ambitious drive reflects Uttarakhand’s strong commitment to green initiatives and climate-conscious development.
