Paryavaran Aayog has been awarded the prestigious National Forestation Excellence Award 2026 by the union council for outstanding contributions in expanding native green cover.

"This accolade is a tribute to the thousands of environmental volunteers who have turned tree planting into a massive, unstoppable national movement (जन आंदोलन)." — Shri Shailesh Garg, National President

Shri Shailesh Garg's Keynote

Accepting the award, Shri Shailesh Garg remarked that this accolade belongs to the thousands of tireless volunteers who have made tree planting a national movement. Our afforestation models have maintained high survival scores.

This award reinforces our dedication to preserving rich biosystems. We look forward to doubling our plantation targets in successive drives and cleaning local air resources.

Establishing India's Largest Seed Bank

Alongside direct planting, our teams have successfully harvested and logged over 15 lakh native tree seeds inside our climate-proof vaults. This ensures a constant, genetically stable supply of native Peepal, Neem, Arjun, and Banyan seeds, securing the future of our regional afforestation programs for years to come.
