Dhaka, June 10 -- Dr. Zubaida Rahman, Vice President of the Ziaur Rahman Foundation (ZRF) and wife of the Prime Minister, on Wednesday called for a green revolution through tree plantation, saying it can help protect the environment and build a more livable world.

"Ziaur Rahman had taken the initiative to plant what became known as the 'Zia Neem Tree' in the desert of Saudi Arabia, and that many Hajj pilgrims still benefit from its shade," she said while inaugurating a month-long tree plantation programme and the "Search for Future Scientists Science Fair 2026" as the chief guest.

Ziaur Rahman Foundation (ZRF) organised the event marking the 45th death anniversary of former President Ziaur Rahman.
