Odisha to plant 7.5 crore trees this year: CM Mohan Majhi
BHUBANESWAR: CM Mohan Charan Majhi on Thursday announced an ambitious plan to plant 7.5 crore trees across Odisha this year. This announcement was made during the state-level World Environment Day celebration held at Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology. Speaking at the event, Majhi highlighted the state's significant progress in environmental conservation. He noted that Odisha recorded an increase of 560 square km in forest cover in two years from 2021 to 2023, placing it fourth among all Indian states. "Plastic pollution has become a triple threat, impacting climate change, biodiversity, and waste management," said Majhi. He emphasised the govt's commitment to eliminating single-use plastics and promoting sustainable alternatives. The state govt has launched several key initiatives, including the State Clean Air Programme aimed at reducing urban air pollution. The 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' campaign has already successfully planted over 6.5 million trees, while citizens and organisations have set a record by planting more than 20 million saplings. In a significant development, Similipal was officially designated as India's 107th national park. The state allocated Rs 500 million under the 'Our Similipal' scheme for wildlife and plant conservation. During the ceremony, the CM honoured 185 Prakriti Mitra and 211 Prakriti Bandhu award winners for their environmental conservation efforts. He also unveiled several key publications, including the State Pollution Control Board FAQs Book and the Coastal Health Status Report. The event was attended by forest minister Ganesh Ram Singhkhuntia, chief secretary Manoj Ahuja, and other senior officials. The programme began with a tree plantation drive and featured an exhibition by students from various districts.
