India's national campaigns: News reports from the Press Information Bureau (PIB) of India detail major government-led initiatives. In September 2024, the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change announced the achievement of its "Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam" campaign target to plant 80 crore (800 million) seedlings.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR): Media outlets cover corporate tree-planting initiatives, such as the Kanodia Group's 2023 drive to plant 10,000 saplings in Uttar Pradesh.

Urban trees and well-being: Reports also focus on the value of trees in urban areas and outside forests. A 2025 Mongabay-India article highlighted that while there has been a "tree planting frenzy," India has lost millions of mature trees on farmlands, underscoring that young saplings do not immediately replace the benefits of large, established trees.
