Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has called upon schoolchildren across Bangladesh to become active participants in environmental stewardship by planting and nurturing at least one tree each year. The appeal came during the inauguration of a nationwide tree plantation program at government primary schools, held at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference Centre.

“

Wherever you think a tree can be planted -- whether at your school or near your home -- I request every one of you to plant at least one tree every year.

"Wherever you think a tree can be planted -- whether at your school or near your home -- I request every one of you to plant at least one tree every year," Rahman stated, emphasizing the younger generation's crucial role in building a greener and healthier nation. The initiative, dubbed "One Child, One Tree," saw simultaneous tree planting activities at 64,587 government primary schools, with a total of 193,761 saplings planted.

Beyond the act of planting, the Prime Minister encouraged students to deepen their understanding of the trees they plant. He urged them to utilize resources like the internet to learn about the tree species, their lifespan, oxygen production, and overall benefits. "You will learn something new about a tree every year. And when the trees grow, you will enjoy their shade at school after playing with your friends or the cool breeze around your home," he added.

The "One Child, One Tree" initiative has ambitious goals, aiming to plant approximately one crore trees across government primary schools over the next five years. This program is part of a broader effort to foster a nationwide movement for environmental conservation and ensure a sustainable future for Bangladesh. The event also featured exhibitions showcasing various educational innovations in primary schools across all 64 districts.
