Deputy Chief Minister Shri Vijay Sharma and Pandariya MLA Smt. Bhavana Bohra were also present in the meeting.
Governor Mr. Deka, during a district-level review meeting held in the Collectorate hall, stated that rainwater is a free resource of nature, which, if conserved, can not only meet current needs but also increase groundwater levels. He emphasized the need to install rainwater harvesting systems in every concrete building and Prime Minister’s residence. He also called for working towards rainwater conservation by constructing ponds in fields and encouraging large farmers to do so at the initial level.
Governor Mr. Deka directed a massive tree-planting campaign under the “Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam” campaign for environmental protection. He said that not only planting trees but also their conservation is equally important to increase the forest cover of the district. He placed special emphasis on increasing tree plantations in urban areas as well. He stressed the need to adopt modern techniques in agriculture, train farmers, promote organic farming, and work on a large scale on modern agricultural methods like hydroponics and drip irrigation.
