Today, Piplantri celebrates the birth of every girl by planting 111 trees, promoting environmental conservation while challenging deep-rooted gender bias. The initiative has transformed the once-barren landscape, improved the lives of countless families, and earned global recognition for its simple yet powerful message of celebrating both daughters and nature.
