The Telangana ku Haritha Haram programme launched amid much fanfare in 2015-16, might be, by its conclusion in 2019, at least 40% short of its stated plantation target across the State.
With poor survival rates outside forests and obliteration of greenery for various infrastructure and irrigation projects, the programme’s target of achieving 33% green cover across the State remains a long shot.
With the penultimate round of the afforestation programme about to start in a week, the State could achieve only about 36% of its targeted plantation so far, when calculated in absolute numbers. Against a target of 230 crore saplings in four years, only about 82 crore have been planted across departments.
Even if the 39 crore sapling target for the next round is achieved in toto, the number will have only grown to 121 crore, which would be about 53% of the final target.
However, considering that of the 230 crore plants, 80 crore were expected through rejuvenation of degraded forests by the Forest department, the results may vary further.
