\nAhmedabad, 13 July 2026
\nIt was decided to plant 1.25 crore trees in Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency and 50 lakh trees in Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. It was announced to increase the percentage of greenery in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency from 11.23 percent to 20 percent. It was announced to build a total of 101 oxygen parks in the Lok Sabha constituency.<\/p>\n
Ahmedabad MP, Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Bhai Shah created a Guinness World Record by planting 3.61 lakh saplings of 35 varieties in one hour in Miyawaki method in 91 thousand square meters in Bhadaj by Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. 25 thousand people grew trees.<\/p>\n
Narendra Modi also made a world record for planting trees in Ahmedabad in 2010. But that tree did not grow.<\/p>\n
Since 1986, BJP has been making election promises to make Ahmedabad green. But Ahmedabad is not becoming green and public money is being wasted for the last 40 years. It is estimated that planting a tree costs Rs 20. The same amount is spent on making and growing the plant.<\/p>\n
how many trees were planted
\n4 crore trees would have been planted in Ahmedabad in 40 years. It was claimed that 3 crore trees would be planted from 2010 to 2026. Currently, more than 20 lakh trees are not standing on the ground.<\/p>\n
It has been claimed that from 2014 to 2016, 1 crore 55 lakh trees were planted in Ahmedabad.
\nIt was claimed that 2 crore 50 lakh trees were planted in Ahmedabad in the last 12 years. In which in the 100 year history of Ahmedabad till 2025,

\n6 lakh trees were planted in 14 years.
\nIn 2012, there were 6.18 lakh trees. As of 2016, there were 15.41 lakh living large trees. Rs 100 crore was spent on planting 70 lakh saplings and trees in two years.<\/p>\n
In 2025, the International Council for Local Environment Initiative conducted a survey on the city’s tree cover. In this survey, a decrease in tree cover of twelve wards was recorded from 2012-2024. The maximum decrease of more than 41 percent was recorded in Vatva.

India claims that a total of 62 crore trees have been planted so far.<\/p>\n
A total of works worth Rs 28,492 crore have been completed so far in Gandhinagar Lok Sabha constituency.<\/p>\n
Modi’s record is a lie<\/p>\n
On July 31, 2010, the then Chief Minister Narendra Modi launched the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s Green Ahmedabad project at the GMDC Ground in the city and created a world record by planting 9 lakh trees.<\/p>\n
The record of planting 5 lakh trees was in the name of Pakistan, but they did this work in the name of India.<\/p>\n
Modi took the name but the trees did not grow. Modi’s lie was caught.<\/p>\n
Now it will take a year to catch Amit Shah’s lies.<\/p>\n
After felling the big tree, the authorities failed to save it.<\/p>\n
The Memorial Forest, prepared in 2010, has disappeared from people’s memories.<\/p>\n
In August 2010, when Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister, he created a world record by planting more than 9.19 lakh trees simultaneously in different areas of the city and made it to the Guinness Book of World Records.<\/p>\n
He deceived the people by making big announcements. But they could not save even 10 percent of the trees. That was a big fraud of Modi with the people. Now Amit Shah is doing that work.<\/p>\n
He also prepared a memorial forest at the GMDC Ground in Ahmedabad. Which has disappeared from the memories of the people of the city today. There is nothing there except stones. Today this forest has become deserted.<\/p>\n
Yoga Guru Ramdev got the forest cleared
\nWithin a month of planting trees at the GMDC ground, yoga guru Baba Ramdev had organized a yoga program. Because of this, most of the trees in this memorial forest were cleared at that time. Then the rest of the Memorial Forest was also cleared because of the buildings.<\/p>\n
What does the director of the garden department say?
\nRegarding the world record of planting more than nine lakh trees in the year 2010, Jignesh Patel, Director of Garden Department of AMPA, had said that when these trees were planted, proper planning was not done by AMPA for their maintenance and care. Only 10 percent of the trees have survived, while the rest have been cleared.<\/p>\n
No count to save Modi
\nIn 2010, Narendra Modi had created a world record by planting trees in Ahmedabad, so that the count of trees in Ahmedabad could not be counted. Under the guise of development, lakhs of old and precious trees have been cleared from Ahmedabad city and its surrounding areas.
