The Centre will soon launch the 'One child - One tree' scheme to sensitize the children about the protection of environment and promotion of tree plantation in the country.
Under the scheme, children will set up nursery in their schools where they will sow seed and take care of the sapling for 10 months.
Thereafter, they will be allowed to bring the plants to their home where they can replant them in their garden or land available with them.
According to reports, the Environment Ministry will launch the scheme on pilot basis this year.
After measuring the success, the scheme will be launched across the country next year.
