The largest single plantation site was in Hathras where as many as 40,000 saplings were planted on an open forest land in the presence of prominent leaders and top local officials.

According to state's principal forest secretary V.N. Garg, who took the initiative to plan the drive, 50 percent of the plantations would be looked after by local farmers.

"The rest were entrusted to the care of private and government-run schools in urban, semi-urban and rural areas, besides non-government organisations and even individuals," Garg said.
