On Friday, volunteers of Students for Development (SFD) planted 50 saplings near Shakti Nagar in Delhi, launching a campaign named 'Selfie with Plant'.

While planting a sapling, another SFD volunteer, Aditya, told IANS. "I request Indians to plant at least one sapling on their birthday and upload 'Selfie with Plant' on social media."
