History
The program was launched by Telangana Chief Minister Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao on July 3, 2015. It is one of the Telangana Flagship programmes to rejuvenate degraded forests, protecting these forests from threats such as smuggling, encroachment, fire and grazing. It adopted intensive soil and moisture conservation measures based on a watershed approach.[2]
In the areas outside the existing forest, massive planting activities were to be taken up in areas such as; road-side avenues, river and canal banks, barren hills, tank bunds and foreshore areas, institutional premises, religious places, housing colonies, community lands, municipalities and industrial parks. National Forest Policy of India envisages a minimum of 33% of the total geographical area under forest cover to maintain environmental stability and ecological balance, which is vital for the sustenance of all life-forms, be it human, animal or plant.[3]
Mandate
The program set a goal to plant 230 crores of seedlings. 120 crores were to be planted outside the notified forest areas. 10 crore will be in and around HMDAHyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority and the balance of 100 crores will be planted through rejuvenation of degraded natural forest. It is aimed to plant 40,000 seedlings in each village and 40 lakhs of seedlings in each assembly constituency every year.
Planning and implementation
Specific duties and responsibilities are assigned to different committees. These committees are doing regular field inspections and monitoring the ongoing plantation and nursery works. The committees are the State Level Steering Committee and the District Level Monitoring and Co-ordination Committee.
At the Village level, Haritha Rakshana Committees were formed to monitor the program under the Chairmanship of Gram Sarpanch.
The seedlings are monitored through geotagging. The Forest Department posts survival percentage details on the Department website.
