The state has set a target of planting one crore saplings on 15,000 hectares of forest land by spending Rs 150 crore. Supplementing the efforts of the government, the schools would participate in plantation drive across the state on the eve of International Youth Day on August 12. Besides, all the government institutions, NGOs and public have been urged to participate in the plantation drive during current rainy season.
