In a significant step toward creating a cleaner and greener capital, Delhi celebrated World Environment Day 2026 with the inauguration of 18 Namo Oxygen Parks across the city. The initiative was launched by Union Minister Bhupender Yadav along with CM Rekha Gupta at Maidangarhi under the nationwide ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign.
The new parks are designed to enhance urban green spaces, improve air quality, and promote environmental awareness among residents. The development comes as Delhi continues its efforts to tackle pollution and strengthen ecological sustainability.
18 Namo Oxygen Parks to Boost Delhi’s Green Cover:
The newly inaugurated Namo Oxygen Parks in Delhi aim to provide residents with cleaner surroundings, healthier recreational spaces, and improved biodiversity within urban areas. These parks are expected to play an important role in absorbing carbon emissions, reducing heat island effects, and contributing to the city's environmental resilience.
The initiative aligns with Delhi’s broader mission to expand green infrastructure and create a healthier environment for future generations.
‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ Campaign Gains Momentum:
A major highlight of the event was the continued promotion of the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’ campaign, which encourages citizens to plant a tree in honor of their mothers. The campaign has become a nationwide movement focused on increasing tree cover while fostering a personal connection to environmental conservation.
As part of the campaign, Delhi has set an ambitious target of planting 15 lakh trees in 2026, a move expected to significantly strengthen the city's green belt and improve ecological balance.
With the launch of 18 Namo Oxygen Parks and the goal of planting 15 lakh trees, Delhi is taking significant steps toward improving air quality and enhancing its urban ecosystem. The initiatives launched on World Environment Day 2026 reflect a growing emphasis on sustainable development, climate resilience, and community participation.
For Delhi residents, these projects promise not only greener neighborhoods but also healthier public spaces that contribute to a more livable and environmentally conscious city.
