Panchayat urges beneficiaries of govt schemes to plant trees
1 2 B erhampur: Kaithakhandi gram panchayat in Ganjam district's Digapahandi block has urged all govt scheme beneficiaries to plant at least one tree in their localities this year. The panchayat will provide free saplings to all beneficiaries, including ration card holders, subhadra beneficiaries, social security pension holders, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY) and Kisan Samman Nidhi beneficiaries. The free sapling distribution is scheduled for July 15, coinciding with pension disbursement. "While it is not mandatory, we consider it a civic obligation for beneficiaries to contribute to the panchayat's greenery. We have passed a resolution and issued a public notice on Wednesday," said Manoranjan Gouda, sarpanch. The panchayat, comprising 13 villages with a population of 13,000, has over 8,000 beneficiaries under various govt schemes. Building on previous years' success, whenaround 12,000 saplings were planted with a 40% survival rate, the panchayat aims to expand its green coverage. A notable project includes the development of a 12-hectare oxygen garden at Ghanasingh, where 10,000 saplings were planted last year. "We plan to add another 5,000 trees this year, aiming to create the state's largest oxygen garden," Gouda said. The initiative's scope has widened with the addition of around 5,000 new beneficiaries under the Subhadra Yojana. The panchayat has also extended the plantation drive to school students, encouraging them to plant trees in their backyards. Beneficiaries are expected to care for their planted trees for three to four years to ensure proper growth and survival.

PMAY flats in two months? Getting ready for 7 years, but infra still incomplete in Ghaziabad
Ghaziabad: In two months, beneficiaries of Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY)-urban units — who have been waiting for a roof over their heads for the last five years — may get their homes. Decks have been cleared for early possession of 3,496 units, which had been announced seven years ago. Beneficiaries were supposed to get the flats by 2020. Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) will spend about Rs 18 crore from to carry out development work in all its colonies where units under the central govt's flagship housing scheme have been constructed. GDA secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh said, "In about two months, we will be in a position to hand over units under PMAY (urban) to eligible beneficiaries." PMAY was launched to provide affordable housing to people from economically disadvantaged sections. "On our end, most of the flats are ready. The GDA board vetted a proposal under which the development authority will spend about Rs 18 crore from under the shelter fee head, get the work completed and hand over units to beneficiaries," Singh said. "GDA has already constructed 3,496 units under the said scheme, but due to a lack of external development by other agencies like PWD, UP Jal Nigam and the power department, the possession of flats has been delayed," the GDA secretary said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Scam Exposed: What They Won't Tell You about zero trust!
