'''Piplantri''' a village located in [[Rajsamand district]] in [[Rajasthan]] State, India.<ref>{{cite news|title=A village that plants 111 trees for every girl born in Rajasthan|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/a-village-that-plants-111-trees-for-every-girl-born-in-rajasthan/article4606735.ece|access-date=26 March 2015|publisher=The Hindu}}</ref>

==Notability==
The villagers of Piplantri plants 111 trees every time a girl child is born and the community ensures these trees survive, attaining fruition as the girls grow up. India has a huge deficit of girls because society is obsessed with the male child and girls are considered financial burdens because of the dowry practices.<ref>{{Citation|title=This village in India plants 111 trees every time a girl is born - CNN Video|url=https://www.cnn.com/videos/great-big-story/2020/08/03/great-big-story-india-trees-girl-born-gbs.great-big-story|access-date=2020-08-05}}</ref> Over the years, people here have managed to plant over 300,000 trees on the village's grazing commons - including [[Neem]], [[Dalbergia sissoo|Sheesham]], [[Mango]], [[Phyllanthus emblica|Amla]] among others.

To ensure the financial security, after the birth of a girl child, the villagers contribute Rs 21,000 collectively and take Rs 10,000 from the parents and put it in a fixed deposit bank account, which can be used only after she turns 18. To make sure that girl child receives a proper education, the villagers make the parents sign an affidavit (legal contract) which restricts them from marrying her off before she attains the legal age for marriage.

Shyam Sundar Paliwal, the former [[sarpanch]] (elected village head) started this initiative in the memory of his daughter Kiran, who died a few years ago.<ref>{{cite web|title=Celebrating girl child: Here's what India can learn from a Rajasthani village, Piplantri|url=http://www.firstpost.com/business/living-business/celebrating-girl-child-heres-what-india-can-learn-from-rajasthani-village-piplantri-2164571.html|website=www.firstpost.com|publisher=Firstpost|access-date=26 March 2015}}</ref>

The initiative that began in 2006 has turned Piplantri village into an oasis. The birth of a girl child is now welcomed and the village is covered with Neem, Mango, Amla and Sheesham trees leading to a higher water level and richer wildlife.<ref>{{cite web|title=Piplantri villagers plant 111 trees to celebrate a girl child's birth|url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/piplantri-villagers-plant-100-trees-to-celebrate-a-girl-childs-birth/406684-3-239.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130718101000/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/piplantri-villagers-plant-100-trees-to-celebrate-a-girl-childs-birth/406684-3-239.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 July 2013|website=ibnlive.in.com|publisher=Cable News Network LP, LLLP. A Time Warner Company.|access-date=26 March 2015}}</ref>

The initiative has also helped the town’s economy. To keep termites away from the trees, many of which bear fruit, the village has planted more than 2.5 million [[Aloe vera]] plants around them. Gradually, the villagers realized that Aloe vera could be processed and marketed in a variety of ways. So the community now produces and markets aloe-based products like juice and gel, among other things.<ref>{{cite web|title=Indian Village Plants Future for Young Girls|url=http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/06/13/indian-village-plants-future-for-young-girls/|website=time.com|publisher=Time Inc.|access-date=26 March 2015}}</ref>
