In a groundbreaking environmental initiative, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced plans to plant more than 12.5 crore saplings across the state as part of the MGNREGA scheme. This effort, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, aims to enhance greenery and generate large-scale rural employment.
