Giving the green signal to the Harit Bihar Abhiyan Rath Yatra, the chief minister urged ministers and other legislators to also donate a month's salary.
The campaign seeks to involve members of the ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U) in planting trees and creating awareness among people.
"I have requested legislators to donate a month's salary to help the campaign to achieve its target," Nitish Kumar said.
JD-U has decided to plant five million saplings over the next two to three years and increase the state's green cover.
Leading the yatra, state JD-U president Vasishth Narain Singh told IANS: "We will visit rural areas to ensure success not just on paper. All the legislators and ministers of the party have been directed to monitor the campaign in their respective areas."
In the first phase, the yatra will cover Bhojpur, Saran and Vaishali districts in the next three days.
