In the field of environmental conservation, a remarkable Guinness World Record has been set for planting the highest number of saplings simultaneously at a single location. Achieving this milestone, Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU), in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh Forest Department, has etched its name in the Guinness World Records through a massive plantation drive—turning a large-scale initiative into a powerful symbol of sustainability and collective action.

Mass Plantation Creates History

The mega drive was organized on July 9, 2025, within the university campus, where 2,100 participants came together to plant saplings at the same time. Out of these, 2,055 saplings were successfully planted, marking a historic moment for the institution.

Team Effort Drives Big Impact

Vice-Chancellor Prof. Raj Kumar Mittal congratulated students, faculty, staff, and partner organizations, calling it a powerful example of teamwork, dedication, and environmental awareness.

A Green Commitment

More than just a world record, this initiative reflects BBAU’s ongoing commitment to environmental protection, social responsibility, and youth participation in climate action.

With this achievement, the university not only boosts its national and global recognition but also sets an inspiring example for young minds to actively contribute towards a greener and more sustainable future.
