Telangana Ku Haritha Haaram, a flagship
programme of the Telangana Government
envisages to increase the present 24% tree cover
in the State to 33% of the total geographical
area of the State. The thrust areas to achieve the
above are two-fold; one, initiatives in notified
forest areas, and the other, initiatives in areas
outside the notified forest areas.
>The first objective is sought to be achieved by a multi-pronged approach of rejuvenating degraded forests, ensuring more effective protection of forests against smuggling, encroachment, fire, grazing and intensive soil and moisture conservation measures following the watershed approach.
> Major fillip is sought to be given to Social Forestry for achieving the second objective. In the areas outside the notified forest, massive planting activities will be taken up in areas such as; road-side avenues, river and canal bank, barren hill, tank bunds and foreshore areas, institutional premises, religious places, housing colonies, community lands, municipalities, industrial parks, etc.
>230 Crore seedlings are proposed to be planted in the State during the next three years. Out of this, 130 crores seedlings are proposed to be planted outside the notified forest areas (10 crore within HMDA limits, and the remaining 120 Crores in rest of the State). It is also proposed to plant, and rejuvenate the viable rootstock to achieve 100 crore plants inside the forest areas by way of intensive protection of the forests.
>During 2015-16, planting drive in the entire State will be taken up in 2nd week of July. People from all walks of life, Government agencies, officers, prominent citizens, and public representatives will participate in the programme
