Tree Plantation Initiative by Dera Sacha Sauda

In our fast-paced world, humanity is relentlessly consuming the very gifts that nature has bestowed upon us. The relentless pursuit of progress often comes at the cost of our natural environment, with trees—the lifeblood of our planet—bearing the brunt of this destruction. The alarming rate at which we are depleting our forests threatens not just the environment but the very existence of life as we know it. If this unchecked destruction continues, we will soon find ourselves at the brink of an ecological catastrophe.


Understanding the critical importance of preserving our natural world, Revered Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, has championed a monumental tree plantation initiative. Every year, on the auspicious occasion of his birthday, which coincides with India’s Independence Day on 15th August, the followers participate in a mass tree plantation drive, contributing to the healing and restoration of our environment. This annual ritual not only celebrates the birthday of their revered leader but also embodies the spirit of environmental stewardship, a principle deeply ingrained in Guru Ji’s teachings.


Revered Guru Ji emphasizes the importance of nurturing these trees as one would care for a child, ensuring they grow strong and continue to support life on Earth for generations to come. This profound approach has led to the creation of numerous world records in tree plantation, a testament to the dedication and collective effort of Dera Sacha Sauda's followers. The initiative, known as the "Tree Plantation Campaign", is a continuous global effort that has significantly contributed to environmental conservation.


One of the most remarkable achievements under this campaign is the plantation of over 17 crore trees, a record that stands as a beacon of hope for environmental renewal. This massive undertaking not only aids in combating climate change but also highlights the power of collective action in preserving our planet.
