To make the Vana Mahotsav program successful, everyone must meet their assigned target, said Nagarkurnool District Collector, Badawat Santosh. A review meeting on Vana Mahotsav was held under his chairmanship at the Nagarkurnool district collectorate.
Officials from all departments in the district attended the review meeting. The collector told them to plant 4 million saplings allocated to Nagarkurnool district by the state government by July 31. He also instructed them to geo-tag the saplings as per the targets assigned to each department.
Collector Badawat Santosh emphasized that officials and departments have specific targets for planting saplings. He asked officials about the number of saplings planted so far under their jurisdiction and sought details on the total number of saplings planted across the district and their current status.
He stressed the importance of planting saplings on government lands, schools, hostels, around government offices, temple lands, and along water canals. The collector highlighted that planting saplings is not enough; it is also crucial to protect and nurture them.
The collector suggested taking necessary protective measures for the planted saplings. He urged everyone to plant some saplings and take responsibility for their care, ensuring they do not dry out or get grazed by cattle. Negligence in this regard would not be tolerated.
District-level officials were instructed to assign responsibilities to their subordinates and staff to ensure the planted saplings are cared for. The collector also advised distributing necessary fruit and flower saplings from nurseries to the public in villages and towns and ensuring their protection.
