Target to plant 5 cr saplings in current fiscal: CM
Patna: CM Nitish Kumar on Monday inaugurated the state-level 'Van Mahotsav-2025', organised by the department of environment, forest and climate change (DoEFCC) by planting a mango sapling at his official residence on 1, Anne Marg premises. On this occasion, the CM appealed to people to contribute to this campaign by planting saplings on their premises and surroundings. "A target has been set to plant 5 crore saplings in the financial year 2025-26 and full preparations for this plantation campaign have been completed. Over the next three months, large-scale sapling plantations will be conducted throughout the state," he said. "The initiative involves saplings planting by the DoEFCC, rural development department, Jeevika groups, horticulture department, various organisations, departments, non-governmental organisations, and various social clubs," a communique issued by the chief minister's office (CMO) said. With the forward-thinking vision of the CM and the goal of increasing green cover, the state govt launched 'Hariyali Mission' in 2012, leading to large-scale sapling plantation across the state in mission mode. "As a result, the state's green cover reached 15.05%. The target is to increase the green cover to 17% by 2028," the CMO said. Initiated by Nitish, the "Jal-Jeevan-Hariyali Abhiyan" began in 2019 across the state. "This campaign aims to raise public awareness about tree planting, water conservation, and environmental protection, encouraging their participation in sapling planting and increasing farmers' income through agroforestry. Additionally, fruit-bearing plants are being provided free of charge to the women of self-help groups and residents of villages near forests," the CMO said. Deputy CMs Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, water resources and parliamentary affairs minister Vijay Kumar Choudhary, DoEFCC minister Sunil Kumar and senior officials were present on the occasion.

Licensed Surveyors Urged to Embrace Advanced Technology for Accurate Land Mapping: Collector Santosh
Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santosh emphasized that only when licensed surveyors adopt and implement modern technology in the field can land surveys be carried out with precision. He made these remarks while participating in a training program for licensed surveyors held on Monday at the MPDO office in the district headquarters. Speaking on the occasion, the Collector stated that the state government has introduced the Bhoobharati Act-2025 to resolve land-related issues comprehensively. He mentioned that survey maps will now be a mandatory requirement in processes like registration and mutation, which is why licensed surveyors are being specially trained. He explained that the training program, which began on May 26, is currently in its final phase, focusing on specialized training in Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) equipment. Given the rapid technological advancements, the use of modern tools like DGPS in land surveying has become essential. This technology enables highly accurate land measurements in less time, helping clearly identify the boundaries and extents of agricultural lands, thereby effectively preventing future land disputes. The Collector stressed the importance of thoroughly understanding the equipment used during the training and noted that true expertise lies in the ability to implement the skills learned in practical fieldwork. Upon completion of the training, those who pass the final assessment will be awarded the Licensed Surveyor Certificate. He urged participants to make the most of this opportunity and become licensed surveyors, highlighting that their appointment not only improves employment opportunities but also contributes significantly to resolving land disputes. The event was attended by Survey, Land and Records Assistant Director Ram Chander, mandal-level surveyors, trainees, and other officials.
