[[Jadav Payeng]] had received national awards for reforestation efforts, known as the "[[Molai forest]]". He planted 1400 hectares of forest on the bank of river [[Brahmaputra]] alone.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Kannadasan |first=Akila |date=2019-03-21 |title=Meet Jadav Payeng, India's Forest Man, who created 550 hectares of forest single-handedly |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/energy-and-environment/meet-jadav-payeng-a-man-who-created-550-hectares-of-forest-single-handedly/article26589168.ece |access-date=2020-11-30 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>  There are active reforestation efforts throughout the country. In 2016, India had more than 50&nbsp;million trees planted in [[Uttar Pradesh]] and in 2017, more than 66&nbsp;million trees planted in [[Madhya Pradesh]].<ref>{{cite news |date=2017-07-04 |title=Record 66 million trees planted in 12 hours in India |newspaper=ABC News |url=http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-07-05/india-breaks-record-planting-66-million-trees-in-12-hours/8677302}}</ref> In addition to this and individual efforts, there are startup companies, such as Afforest,<ref>{{Cite web |title=About Us {{!}} Afforestt |url=https://www.afforestt.com/about |access-date=2020-11-30 |website=www.afforestt.com}}</ref> that are being created over the country working on reforestation.<ref>{{cite web |date=2014-07-11 |title=The Man Who Has Created 33 Forests in India – He Can Make One in Your Backyard Too! |url=https://www.thebetterindia.com/12212/forest-backyard-sustainable-environment-afforest/}}{{Dead link|date=July 2020|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref>
Lots of plantation are being carried out in the Indian continent but the survivability is very poor especially for massive plantations, with less than 20% survivability rate. To improve the forest cover and to achieve the national mission of forest cover of 33%, there is a need to improve the methods of plantation. Rather than mass planting, there is a need to work on performance measurement & tracking of trees growth. Taking this into consideration, a non-profit organization [http://www.ekkadam.org Ek Kadam Sansthan] in [[Jaipur]] is leading the development of a module of mass tracking for plantations. The pilot has been done successfully and the organization is hoping to implement nationwide by the end of 2021.<ref name="Tracking of every plan">{{cite web |title="One Tree My Duty" |url=http://www.ekkadam.org |website=www.ekkadam.org |publisher=Ek Kadam}}</ref>
