i-Hariyali app launched in Punjab to make state clean, green, healthy and robust under `Tandarust Punjab’ mission

The main characteristic of the ‘i-Hariyali’ app is that any resident of the state can book a sapling of his/her choice sitting at home with the click of a button. Another unique feature of the app is that this facility can be availed of by every resident of the state to book sapling of his choice from a nearby government nursery.

The app can be downloaded from mobile play store absolutely free of cost. The rationale behind this app is to inspire more and more people to plant maximum saplings during the current monsoon season so as to save the environment from pollution hazards. A condition of proper upkeep and care of the saplings has also been imposed.

After booking the saplings, the contact number of the nearby employee or forest guard would be displayed on the mobile of the person making the booking. It is interesting to note that under this process every person would be given a maximum of 25 saplings.

On May 30, the Punjab Government launch of a `Tandarust Punjab’ mission to make Punjab the healthiest state in the country, with healthy people. `Tandarust Punjab’ was envisaged by CM Captain Amarinder Singh as a holistic initiative to take care of the state’s air quality, water quality and safe food, thus ensuring a good living environment for the citizens of Punjab.
