Village plants 111 trees when girl child is born
Since 2006, the Piplantri village in Rajasthan has been planting 111 trees every time a girl child is born. A fixed deposit account with ₹31,000 is created for the girl child, which includes contributions from her parents and villagers. The parents reportedly sign an affidavit which says their daughter will be educated, and not married off before she turns 18.
