The total geographical land area of Bihar is about 94163 sq km out of which only about 5720 (6.02%) is covered by forest. Bihar does not have even one-tenth of the area covered by forest.The trees are rapidly cutting down for industrialization , settlements ,cultivation or Political events which is making our ecosystem unbalanced. So if we want to save ourself or our next generation we will have to protect trees at any cost.

The programme were started at 6am in the morning and ran upto 12 p.m in all cities. In Patna, the location of plantation were Gola road to IAS Colony where also many local people nd students took part to make the programme successful.On the occasion founder of Plant Eco Circle the ‘Ranjan Mistry’ said “Doing plantation is not big deal, protection of these plants ia a big deal. That’s why we have not decided to plant more trees in one place instead we plants only 100-150 in each cities and the area is such places wherer we take care of plants.” And The founder of Skill minds india Vipul sharan Said that “this is not just a plantation drive or awareness; this is a message to all the parents to take such initiative to protect the future of their child.”Here plants such as Banyan, Peepal ,kahua were planted which are the native trees suitable according to climate and physiography. Suryakant Verma,founder of Aawaam m said “We don’t need to plant trees at every door, we have to plant the seed of awareness which gradually will raise their concern.”
