Hyderabad: The State Forest Department (SFD) comes up with a decadal development plan termed ‘First Decade Document’ (FDD). The plan provides details of the progress achieved in the last three years and an action plan with targets set to achieve in the next seven years.
The FDD had been prepared as part of State government’s initiative to come up with a detailed plan that would cover all the steps taken by the government in order to document all the development work taken up in various fields since the formation of separate State.
According to Forest Department officials, it was also decided to place the FDD before the people, inviting their suggestions to further improve the performance, services, and functioning of the department. As part of the move, the District Forest Officers (DFOs) were asked to hold District-level meetings on November 8 and 9, across the State.
A detailed schedule of the place and time where the meetings would be held has already been notified by the DFOs. During these meetings, people can give their suggestions and highlight the shortcomings in the implementation of the Telanganaku Haritha Haram, government’s flagship programme to increase the green cover from the current 24 to 33 per cent.
Besides, people can also express their opinions and suggestions on the forest rejuvenation programmes and eco-tourism initiatives, any additional measures that are needed to protect the wildlife.
The general public, peoples’ representatives, students, members of the Green Brigades and Self-Help Groups and officials from the government departments can take part in the meetings and express their views.
The forest department official feel that this move can make people be a part of the development of forests and protection of wildlife.
