TTD plans major greening drive on Tirumala Hills
Tirupati: Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) is set to significantly boost the green cover in the sacred Tirumala hills, aiming to expand it from the current 68.14 per cent to 80 per cent over the next three years. To achieve this, the TTD has allocated Rs 400 lakh for a comprehensive greening initiative that will be implemented from 2025-26 to 2027-28. The move follows the directive of Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, who, during his visit to Tirumala on October 5, stressed the importance of ecological stability in the region given its spiritual and pilgrimage prominence. He instructed the Forest Department and TTD to take swift and sustainable action to enhance the area's forest cover. Accordingly, the Divisional Forest Officer (DFO) of Tirupati has prepared a detailed three-year action plan covering 3,035 hectares of forest under TTD's control. The plan includes a range of interventions such as Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR), drone-based seed ball broadcasting, gap planting, removal of invasive plant species, habitat enhancement, and fire safety measures. Efforts to restore soil moisture, through the construction of percolation tanks and other soil and moisture conservation (SMC) works are also part of the proposal, along with essential administrative and minor road-related works. A breakdown of the financial outlay includes Rs 171.46 lakh for ANR initiatives including nursery development and seed dispersal using drones; Rs 65.68 lakh for fire protection and wildlife conservation efforts such as creating fire lines and employing seasonal fire watchers; and Rs 55.41 lakh for habitat enhancement measures like water pit construction and weed clearance. Additionally, Rs 24.90 lakh is set aside for SMC projects, Rs 32.54 lakh for administrative and field staff needs and Rs.50 lakh for minimal road restoration required to support these activities. The TTD Board reviewed and revised the initial Rs 650 lakh proposal submitted by the Forest Department. While endorsing most ecological components, the Board reduced the proposed Rs 300 lakh allocation for road work to Rs 50 lakh, clarifying that such infrastructure should serve greening goals rather than become a standalone objective. TTD Chairman BR Naidu, who chaired the Board meeting on May 20, 2025, reaffirmed the organisation's commitment to the initiative. He indicated that the Board would seek additional funding through donor contributions and relevant government schemes. The greening drive is also expected to expand into adjacent reserve forest areas covering 6,000 to 7,000 hectares, with coordination support from the State Forest Department. The Principal Chief Conservator of Forests has been asked to oversee the extended effort through the respective conservator and DFO. With the TTD Board's approval secured, the proposal is now set to be forwarded to the State government for final clearance. Once approved, phased funding will be released to the DFO, Tirupat – Rs 173.64 lakh in 2025-26, followed by around Rs 113 lakh each in 2026-27 and 2027-28 - to implement the greening programme as planned.

Ujjwala Yojana brings positive change to lives of rural women of Visakhapatnam
Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh) [India], June 11 (ANI): Several women beneficiaries of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana from Visakhapatnam expressed gratitude and shared how the scheme has positively impacted their daily lives, both at home and outside. Dashari Kumari, a beneficiary of the scheme, shared her experience. 'I got my connection in the year 2018. I came to know about this through a news article. Then, I approached a nearby distributor operator, namely Dwarka Gas Service. Thereafter, I immediately got the gas connection as per the scheme,' she said. Talking about the benefits, Dashari added, 'I could save a lot of time because of which now I am able to manage my work life as well as at home. I am able to feed my children whatever they want in less time.' Another beneficiary, Durga from Mouli in Visakhapatnam, expressed her appreciation for the initiative. 'Earlier, I used firewood and coal for cooking. It used to take two to three hours to prepare food. Now, I can save that time. Within less time, I can prepare food for my children. And now I am engaged in other outside work also. With the financial benefit I am getting -- that Rs. 300 subsidy amount -- I was able to utilise that amount for other needs as well. I can save time. Financially, I am happy. So, I am thankful to our Prime Minister for providing me with this connection under the scheme,' she said. Revathi, another beneficiary from Parvathipuram Manyam district, said, 'I came to know about this scheme through a distributor named Pentapati Kamaraju. I immediately approached him and was able to get the benefit under the scheme. Very soon, he installed the connection. Earlier, I was using firewood, so it used to take a lot of time. Now, I can save that time. With that support--both time and financial--whatever my children need, especially when they come back from school and want some snacks, I can now prepare them quickly. I'm also able to work outside. I am managing both my work life and home life with the help of this scheme.' Another beneficiary from the same district, Devi, also spoke about her experience. 'I came to know about this scheme from the distributor Pentapati Kamaraju, and immediately, when I approached him, he sanctioned the connection. Whenever I need a refill, he is readily available and delivers the cylinder. I can save time, and it also helps me financially. Now, I can spend some quality time with my family,' she said. 'I go for small kinds of work outside. So early in the morning, I have to leave. Earlier, using firewood and coal took a lot of time. So I couldn't manage everything in the morning. Now, I am very comfortable and can balance both things,' Devi added. As per data shared by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, 'The domestic LPG consumer base in the country has witnessed significant growth during the PMUY (Ujjwala) phase, increasing from 8.3 crore consumers as of March 2005, to 32.9 crore consumers by March 2025. LPG coverage has risen substantially from 62 per cent in 2016 to an estimated 99.8 per cent. Women spend quality time with family and contribute to the family income. Contributed to reducing deforestation and environmental degradation by lowering the reliance on traditional biomass for cooking.' Rural populations saw a 46 per cent decrease in TB cases per 1 lakh people, while urban areas saw a four per cent decrease between 2019-21 compared to 2015-16, as per the National Family Health Survey shared by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
