Guwahati: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated the Chief Minister’s Institutional Plantation Programme (CMIPP) at the Janata Bhawan in the state capital of Dispur on Sunday.
The chief minister planted a tree sapling at the Janata Bhawan to officially launch the CMIPP. Several ministers and department representatives were present for the programme launch.
Addressing the gathering at the occasion, CM Sarma announced that the programme will run through August 15 and an online survey would be used to keep track of how many tree saplings had been planted across the state.
Sarma said, “I am thrilled to plant a seedling at Janata Bhawan to officially inaugurate the Chief Minister’s Institutional Plantation Programme (CMIPP). The Science, Technology, and Climate Change Department’s CMIPP will run from July 17 to August 15 and cover more than 80,000 institutional campuses within the Government of Assam.
He said, “Under the programme, at least 75 saplings coinciding with the Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotav should be planted in every government office and transform the CMIPP into Amrit Briksha Mahotsav.”
Meanwhile, Sarma gave orders for the officials of the departments of education, health, and housing to get ready and take charge of the plantation programme monitoring. Additionally, the chief minister stated that ministers and MLAs were required to publish images of them planting seedlings on the website.
