It is one of the Telangana Flagship programmes to rejuvenate degraded forests, protecting these forests from threats such as smuggling, encroachment, fire and grazing. It adopted intensive soil and moisture conservation measures based on a watershed approach. In the areas outside the existing forest, massive planting activities were to be taken up in areas such as ; road - side avenues, river and canal banks, barren hills, tank bunds and foreshore areas, institutional premises, religious places, housing colonies, community lands, municipalities and industrial parks. National Forest Policy of India envisages a minimum of 33 % of the total geographical area under forest cover to maintain environmental stability and ecological balance, which is vital for the sustenance of all life - forms, be it human, animal or plant. Planning and implementation Specific duties and responsibilities are assigned to different committees. These committees are doing regular field inspections and monitoring the ongoing plantation and nursery works. The committees are the State Level Steering Committee and the District Level Monitoring and Co-ordination Committee. At the Village level, Haritha Rakshana Committees were formed to monitor the program under the Chairmanship of Gram Sarpanch. The seedlings are monitored through geotagging. The Forest Department posts survival percentage details on the Department website.
