Nizamabad: District Collector Yogitha Rana announced here on Saturday that the students of Giriraj Degree and Post-graduate Colleges in the town would conduct a survey at the field level to examine the 40,000 saplings that were planted in the district till now during the Haritha Haram programme.
This was being done on an experimental basis to overcome defects in the implementation, she added.
Addressing the students at the Giriraj College in the town on Saturday, the District Collector explained to them about the significance of Haritha Haram and also told them about the field work to be done and the measures to be taken to protect the plants.
She discussed with them several aspects of the programme. The students should consider the plants as their friends, she added.
The District Collector told them that Haritha Haram programme was not just a government programme and it requires the involvement of the people to make it a success and make the district green and clean.
There is an urgent need to expand the green cover and protect the environment for the benefit of the future generation , she added.
Collector Rana said that many youth do not know how to swim as the water levels were less in lakes and streams due to deficit rainfall and drought like conditions.
If Haritha Haram was successfully implemented, there would be no scarcity of water and a pleasant weather.
She said that they had to supply water through railway tankers to the Latur district in Maharashtra as there were no rains in that region and such a situation should not arise in Nizamabad.
She exhorted the students to take up the Haritha Haram programme with great commitment as a social responsibility.
In his speech, Deputy Superintendent of Police Anand Kumar said that the police department has decided to grow 10,000 plants in the gram panchayats that it adopted under the Gram Jyothy scheme.
The green cover would be expanded in the premises of every police station to make the environment pleasant, he added.
Giriraj College Principal Rammohan Reddy presided over the meeting.
