The Chief Minister said he was pleased to inform the President that government of Telangana had taken up, among other flagship programmes, a massive tree plantation programme christened as ‘Telanganaku Haritha Haaram’ with an objective of improving green cover, maintaining ecological balance and to ensure sustainable livelihoods. As part of this programme, the Chief Minister said it was proposed to plant 230 crore saplings over three years period, both within the reserve forest to improve forest density and outside the forest to promote greenery and also increase incomes for farmers.

For the current year, 39.60 crore saplings had been raised, which were ready for planting from the first week of July, the Chief Minister added.
