As an aftereffect of urbanization and rapid developments, the trees started to go out of the picture resulting in air pollution and other issues. Sensing the danger, many nations have started working on increasing the green cover so that the next generations will have a better life and fresh air.

The efforts made by the Telangana capital Hyderabad helped it bag the prestigious award for two consecutive years. Hyderabad was awarded the 'Tree City of the World' for the current year given the rise in the green cover in the city. Hyderabad received the award in 2021 as well.

A body of the United Nations gives the award by looking at various cities across the world. Cities from more than 100 countries were considered for the award but pearl city had managed to make it to the top.

It is a collective effort of authorities, government, and common people that Hyderabad was given the 'Tree City of the World' award. However, the Green India challenge started by TRS MP Joginpally Santosh Kumar needs a special mention here. Through his challenge, the TRS leader has been raising awareness of the importance of having plants and trees.

So far, many celebrities across the industries and fields have planted trees and posed the challenge to others and the cycle goes on. Looking at the celebrities, the common people also started to plant saplings and have plants in their homes.

On top of this, the TRS Government had conducted a special drive on planting saplings across Telangana marking the occasion of the birthday of KCR, Chief Minister and founder chief of the party. All these efforts had worked well for the city and in turn, they helped the city to win the award for two straight years.

As many as 136 cities from various countries were mentioned in the list. However, Hyderabad and the financial capital Mumbai were considered from India. The other nations that saw cities mentioned in the list were the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada. But Hyderabad had surpassed all the other cities that were considered and eventually bagged the award
