The Objective of this Mission is to increase its forest to 33 per cent cover from the present 23 per cent before 2030 to combat climate change. About 16,000 volunteers are going to be involved in this huge plantation campaign on December 23, 2022, in which saplings will be planted at Idayakottai Village of Oddanchatram Constituency in Dindigul District.

To grab the public attention in ensuring a green revolution, we decided on this mission as a world record project for the title "Most Trees Planted by a Team in 4 Hours (Single Location)" which will be accredited by Elite World Records, Asian Records Academy, India Records Academy and Tamilan Book of Records. Our motto is not only to create a world record, but our mission is also to create awareness of the importance of trees and their uses for mankind.
