In a monumental act of climate leadership, Save Earth Mission, led by its visionary founder Sandeep Choudhary, has made global headlines by setting a Guinness World Record — planting over 500,000 trees in just one hour under the powerful banner of “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam”.
This historic environmental drive, which unfolded in Ahmedabad and across India, has ignited a global movement, blending climate action with cultural emotion. The initiative saw massive participation from volunteers of all ages — students, professionals, activists, and families — who united to honour their mothers and the planet simultaneously.
Spearheaded by Sandeep Choudhary, a passionate environmentalist and entrepreneur, the campaign seeks to connect people to the earth through personal emotion. “Planting a tree in your mother’s name is deeply symbolic. It’s a way to nurture nature the way she nurtured you,” said Choudhary during the record celebration.
The event was coordinated nationwide, transforming thousands of locations into green zones within one synchronized hour — making it the largest single-hour tree plantation drive in world history.
Beyond the Guinness recognition, “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” was celebrated by major international media outlets including Forbes, Fox News, and Business Insider, who hailed it as a template for people-powered climate action. The campaign was also widely covered on Indian and global television.
This record is part of Save Earth Mission’s larger ambition — to plant 1 billion trees by the year 2030, aimed at combating deforestation, air pollution, and climate degradation through community engagement.
Environmental advocates, world leaders, and climate scientists have praised the initiative for making climate activism deeply personal and actionable. By merging culture with sustainability, Choudhary’s mission has inspired millions globally to plant, protect, and pledge for the planet.
In a world facing the intensifying effects of climate change, the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign proves that collective action, rooted in emotion, can drive measurable global impact — one tree, and one name, at a time.
