Delhi Development Authority Launches Digital System to Monitor Sapling Survival
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has launched a digital monitoring system to track the survival and growth of saplings planted under its 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' plantation drive. The system uses a mobile app and a central dashboard with geo-tagging and real-time data to monitor plantation activities, identify plant mortality, and enable replacement planting. An independent third-party agency will verify sapling survival. Over half of the 23 lakh indigenous saplings target has been achieved within a month, with public access to detailed plantation data available online.
