HP CM Launches ‘Rajiv Gandhi Van Samvardhan Yojana’ | |
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu recently launched the ‘Rajiv Gandhi Van Samvardhan Yojana’ in Hamirpur, aiming to enhance state’s green cover and promote community-driven forest management. The initiative focuses on planting fruit-bearing trees on degraded forest lands and generating employment through the involvement of mahila mandals, yuvak mandals, and self-help groups. Certificates were presented to Amlehar and Bhawdan Mahila Mandals from Nadaun, tasked with the plantation and maintenance of two hectares of forest land for 5 years. The CM also introduced the ‘Green Adoption Scheme’, encouraging corporate and non-governmental bodies to adopt barren forest lands for afforestation. Source: https://www.thestatesman.com/ |
