CSR News: ‘Matri Van’ Tree Plantation Drive Sprouts Green Hope led by Mapsko in Gurugram’s Aravali belt

In an effort to combat challenges of climate change and adopt a sustainable lifestyle, the Haryana Government and CREDAI, along with “Tree Drive Partnering Members,” jointly held a large-scale plantation program near Sushant University, Gurugram, today (August 2, 2025).

Under the aegis of Matri Van, a significant part of PM Modi’s ambitious campaign Ek-Ped-Maa-Ke-Naam, Mapsko Group has been allotted 10 acres of land to drive up the forestation program to stop desertification of the ecologically sensitive Aravalis.

Underling the initiative, Mapsko and other tree drive partners have started work together to checkmate degradation of biodiversity in the Aravali region, which plays a key role in stopping the Thar desert from expanding towards northwest India. The massive plantation aims at connecting people with nature organically.

Mr. Pankaj Singla, Vice President, CREDAI Haryana & MD, Mapsko Group, said, “The Matri Van Tree Plantation Drive amplifies our collective commitment to preserving the Aravali ecosystem. At Mapsko Group, we are honored to run the plantation drive on the allotted land of 10 acres, in sync with PM Modi’s Ek-Ped-Maa-Ke-Naam campaign. This initiative not only combats desertification but also spurs a deeper connection between communities and nature, ensuring a sustainable future and green economy for generations to come.”

The event was graced by distinguished dignitaries, including Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Union Minister for Housing & Urban Affairs; Shri Bhupender Yadav, Hon’ble Union Minister for Environment, Forest & Climate Change; Shri Rao Narbir Singh, Hon’ble Environment, Forest & Wildlife Minister, Haryana; and Shri Vinit Kumar Garg, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, Haryana.

The dignitaries collectively emphasized the critical importance of the plantation drive in the Aravali belt. They highlighted that the initiative, led by the Haryana Government and CREDAI, with the dedicated efforts of Tree Drive Partnering Members, is a pivotal step toward preserving the region’s ecological balance.

The Aravalis serve as a natural barrier against the advancing Thar desert, and this large-scale plantation effort strengthens biodiversity, mitigates climate change, and promotes sustainable development. They commended the collaborative spirit of CREDAI and its partners, noting that such initiatives exemplify the power of collective action in safeguarding the environment and ensuring a greener, healthier future for northwest India.
