Development in Mehrauli : To speed up the development work of Delhi's villages, the Kejriwal government organized a “Vikas Sabha” in Mehrauli Vidhan Sabha on Monday. On this occasion, Environment and Development Minister Gopal Rai said that the government is committed to providing all facilities to the people living in rural areas. The government is carrying out development work in the villages of Mehrauli Vidhan Sabha with an expenditure of about 10 crore rupees. The government has kept a budget of 900 crore rupees for the development work of Delhi's villages. During this, Mehrauli Vidhan Sabha MLA Naresh Yadav and officials of Irrigation and Flood Control Department and Forest Department were present.
To promote the green cover in Delhi, a campaign of plantation and distribution of saplings has started from July 11. Gopal Rai said that along with development, environmental protection is also important. That is why our government has started a plantation and distribution campaign in all the Legislative Assemblies on the theme “Where there is development, there is greenery”. Under this, saplings were distributed among the people in Mehrauli Legislative Assembly during the “Vikas Sabha”. He said that this year more than 7 lakh 74 thousand plants will be distributed free of cost. Under the tree plantation campaign, a target of planting and distributing more than 64 lakh saplings has been set this year. Which will be accomplished with the cooperation of all green agencies. During the plantation campaign, the work of distributing free medicinal plants has been started. Free medicinal plants are being distributed from the government nurseries of Delhi, so that people can participate in promoting the green cover of Delhi by planting saplings in their homes.
The Environment Minister said that we had given an important guarantee to the people of Delhi at the time of elections, in which we had set a target of planting two crore saplings in 5 years to improve the environment of Delhi. The government has achieved the target of planting almost 2 crore saplings in the fourth year of its tenure. This target has been achieved by the green agencies of all 21 related departments. To increase the green belt of Delhi and reduce the pollution of Delhi, the government is running a tree plantation campaign every year. Due to which a significant increase has been seen in the green cover inside Delhi. While the green cover in Delhi was 20 percent in the year 2013, it has increased to 23.06 percent in the year 2021 due to the efforts of the Kejriwal government. Also, Delhi has become number one in the whole country in terms of per capita forest cover of cities.
Development Minister Gopal Rai said that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had formed the Delhi Gram Vikas Board to ensure development in the villages of Delhi. This year the government has kept a budget of Rs 900 crore for the development of Delhi's villages. Under this, work is being done to provide better amenities in all the villages of Delhi. Under this, development work related to roads, drains, water bodies, community centers, parks, crematoriums, playgrounds etc. is being done.
