During this mega campaign, the dera devotees were seen carrying saplings everywhere and they planted a large number of saplings at their homes, farms, schools, colleges, parks, and public places. Along with the plantation, the Dera followers also reiterated their pledge to nurture these plants till they become trees, following the teachings of Revered Guru Ji, who inspired the followers to initiate the plantation campaign in the year 2007. So far millions of saplings have been planted all over the world.
Dera followers not only plant saplings, but also take care of them, water them at a designated time, and prune them regularly, which has resulted in more than 80 percent of the saplings planted by them now thriving and providing fruits, flowers and shade as trees. Revered Guru Ji Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan was born on the 15th of August 1967 in the holy land of Sri Gurusar Modia, District Sriganganagar (Rajasthan).
The followers of Dera Sacha Sauda have so far planted millions of saplings under the guidance of His Holiness. Dera Sacha Sauda’s name has been recorded in the Guinness Book of Records three times for planting saplings.
The first record was to plant 68 lakh 73 thousand 451 saplings in 8 hours on August 15, 2009, the second was to plant 9 lakh 38 thousand 7 saplings in just one hour on the same day and the third record was made by planting 19,45,535 saplings by Sadh-Sangat in just one hour on August 15, 2011.
