What is Haritha Haram?

Telangana Ku Haritha Haram, better known as Haritha Haram is a noble initiative of the Telangana Government to introduce large scale reformation in the field of agriculture and forestry to improve the green cover which has a tremendously positive impact on the ecological balance thus promoting sustenance of the human race.

Telangana presently has a forest cover of 24% and through this program the Government aims at incrementing this figure to 33%.

It was launched with the efforts of the erstwhile Telangana Chief Minister Shri Kalvakuntla Chandrasekhar Rao on the 3rd of July, 2015. The principle target of the Haritha Haram is to plant 230 crores of plants in Telangana. 

Aims and objectives of the Haritha Haram

  • To plant at least 230 crores of plants throughout the State. 
  • Its noble aims are to plant 40000 seedlings in each village and 40 lakh seedlings in each assembly constituency. 
  • For the efficacious fulfillment of these astronomical goals, various modern agricultural techniques have been adopted and required advanced machinery has also been sanctioned. 
  • The Government wants to leave no stone unturned to realize the green goal and therefore, special committees have been created at each strat of the administrative hierarchy, from State level to Gram Panchayats who will oversee the works done and will make sure that the proposed goals be achieved effectively. 
  • The Forest department and the Department of Agriculture has been actively involved for effective assessment of the survival rates of the planted seedlings. 

The various planting models that have been adopted for Haritha Haram include

  • Institutional Plantation 
  • Agro Forestry Plantation  
  • Tank Fore Shore plantation 
  • Homestead Plantation 
  • Barren Hill Afforestation  
  • Avenue Plantation 
  • Block Plantation 

Benefits of Haritha Haram to the ecosystem

Natural vegetation forms an integral part of the ecosystem and its elimination or endangering would create massive imbalances in the environment leading to a massacre of natural calamities. 

Plants are the source of food to many animals on this earth and are an essential component on life sustenance on this earth.

It is in the beginning of each food chain which makes plants of paramount importance for the survival of species.  

Because of its root connection with the soil, plants absorb groundwater and transpire it into the atmosphere thereby not only cooling it but also increasing the moisture content in the atmosphere and subsequently causing rainfall.

Thus, plants are extreme importance for the ushering of precipitation. 

Plants perform the process of photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight  to produce food.

Carbon dioxide, exhaled by us humans is one of the major raw materials needed for the effective completion of photosynthesis thus giving oxygen as it’s byproduct.

Trees therefore help to replenish oxygen of the atmosphere which is a prerequisite of aerobic organisms like human beings. 

Trees often grow strong boding with the soil through their root system. This root system is so strong, that they can act as natural embankments during times of flood and prevent inundation of the soil, and property. 

Plants usually propagate through pollination for which it lures insects by giving it nectar.

If these plants are destroyed, so will be the source of nectar for insects and bees and as a result the ecosystem of bees and insects will also be threatened. 

Trees are home to various forms of fauna. It provides natural habitat to many animals like monkeys, owls, bats, snakes etc. 

Trees in places with strong and powerful winds help reduce the wind velocity thereby limiting the ferocity of prevailing dust storms. 

Problems of Indian Forestry

The need for Haritha Haram arises for the following problems that the Indian forest cover faces: 

  • Low forest cover – the forest cover in India is only 21.02% as against the world average of about 35% 
  • Open grazing- overgrazing by cattle, sheep and goats in hilly and mountainous areas damage the forest cover. 
  • Shifting cultivation  
  • Growing demand for agricultural land – with growing population, demand for food products and agricultural raw materials has increased significantly. This has caused considerable shrinking in forest area. 
  • Urbanization and Industrialization – increasing urbanization and industrialization is also an important cause for the degradation of natural vegetation within India. 
  • Construction of hydroelectric projects like Narmada project has caused displacement and submergence of forest area. 
  • Human activities like quarrying, mining, and building, has resulted in large scale deforestation. 

Conclusion

Forests constitute a renewable resource contributing to economic development of a country by providing goods and services to the people and industry.

They play an integral role in enhancing the quality of environment by influencing the climate, as well as the life support system.

In India, a forest cover of over 80% about 5000 years ago has become declined only about 19% today.

In an average day, more than 400 square kilometers of tropical forests are destroyed throughout the globe. India is a developing nation which prides it’s industrialization and rapid modernization.

However, we should not forget that no matter how advanced we become, plants can never be manufactured in factories.

It is high time that we realize this epiphany truth or else we will be only digging our own graves in this barren land of minimal endangered forest cover.

The Haritha Haram programme is an excellent and praise-worthy initiative from the Government and hopefully other states and countries will follow suit. The Great Russian writer Anton Chekov rightly wrote, 

A tree is beautiful, but what’s more, it has a right to life; like water and the sun and the stars, it is essential. Life on Earth is inconceivable without trees.

Forests create climate, climate influences people’s characters and so on and so forth.

There can neither be civilization nor happiness if forests crash down under the axe, if climate is harsh and severe, if people are also harsh and severe – What a terrible future!
