Addressing a review meeting at Medak District Collectorate on Thursday, he took certain officials to task for doing a shoddy work in planning and co-ordinating the plantation programme. He said that every department head is supposed to take initiative and complete responsibility in involving different sections of the society; in making the plantation drive a huge success.
He urged various departments to first start with their own offices and see if they could utilise any unused open lands to plant trees. The review comes just before the plantation drive which is scheduled to happen between July 3-10, across the Medak District. As per the District Administration, rough plans for 3.5 crore plants have already been conceptualised.
Mandals have been broken-down into sectors and sector-wise in-charges have been given specific responsibilities under the flag-ship programme. The programme endeavours to raise the 24 per cent forest cover to 33 per cent by planting trees.
Some gazetted officers had also sworn their one-day salary as donation for the programme, which sparked Padma Devender Reddy, Deputy Speaker, Ramulu Naik, MLC, Chinta Prabhakar, Sangareddy MLA, Kotha Prabhakar Reddy, Zaheerabad MP, Jogu Ramanna, Minister for Forests and others who were present there, to donate their one-month salary for the green initiative.
An awareness programme about the Arogyalakshmi scheme, which intends to offer one full-nutritious meal a day, iron and folic acid, palamrutham (a nutritive mix for babies), weight monitoring and counselling assistance to pregnant and lactating mothers and their new-born babies was held at the collectorate.
It was attended by people’s representatives. The scheme envisions to contain deaths of babies and mothers during or post pregnancy, by immediately benefiting 53,000 people across the district.
