On the occasion of World Environment Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off 200 electric buses in the capital as part of the Delhi Government’s sustainable transport initiative.
Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Bhupender Yadav, Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, and Delhi Minister of Industries, Food and Supplies, and Environment, Forest and Wildlife Manjinder Singh Sirsa were present at the event.
As part of the campaign ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’, PM Modi planted a tree, reinforcing the message of individual responsibility towards the environment. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, he urged citizens to intensify their efforts in protecting the planet. The caption on his shared video read:
“This #WorldEnvironmentDay, let’s deepen our efforts to protect our planet and overcome the challenges we face. I also compliment all those working at the grassroots to make our environment greener and better.”
In a video message, the Prime Minister quoted the Sanskrit phrase “Prakriti Rakshati Rakshita” — those who protect nature are protected by it. He emphasized India’s ancient traditions of environmental harmony, stating,
“Balance in the environment has always been a part of our ancient tradition. It is said in our culture, ‘Yat pinde tat brahmande,’ meaning what exists in the body also exists in the universe. Whatever we do for ourselves directly impacts our environment.”
He stressed the importance of collective global action, adding,
“To protect the world’s climate, it is essential that every country rises above self-interest and thinks collectively.”
Commending efforts to reduce plastic use, Modi noted,
“This year’s Environment Day theme is the campaign for freedom from plastic, and I am glad that what the world is now beginning to talk about, India has already been working on continuously for the past 4-5 years.”
Meanwhile, the sixth edition of the World Environment Expo (WEE 2025) was inaugurated at the India Expo Centre, Greater Noida, by Manjinder Singh Sirsa. The three-day exhibition and conference brings together leading policymakers, sustainability experts, and global industry representatives.
