CM IN MISSION
MODE FOR
HARITHA KERALAM
Chief Minister
Pinarayi Vijayan appears to have got into mission mode to ensure the success of
Haritha Keralam, his government’s first ambitious multi-dimensional development
project to be launched since assuming power.
In an article released
for publication on the eve of the launch of the Haritha Keralam mission, Mr.
Vijayan indicated the huge challenge the government faces in implementing this
programme with its focus on sanitation, water conservation, environmental
protection and promotion of agriculture, but expressed optimism that the
mission would be delivered with the active involvement of schools, colleges,
Kudumbasree volunteers, the local bodies and the general public.Listing out the
challenges in each of these sectors, Mr. Vijayan emphasised the prime role that
urban and rural local bodies would play to ensure development of each local
community through suitable intervention tools.
“The main challenge is
to implement the programme in a practical manner through assiduous planning,”
he said. He said the mission will seek the involvement of field experts and
research institutions that are involved in various kinds of studies.“The success of
Haritha Keralam mission will depend on how far it reaches out to the people,”
he said. The two-lakh strong women force in Kudumbasree units also has a task
cut out for them, making women the torch-bearers of development in its truest
sense.The government wants
to ensure enough playing fields for various social organisations, institutions
and others in general to intervene meaningfully in their own way to take
Haritha Keralam forward.The final message should span out to each family and
each individual to inspire a civic sense in them that would go a long way in
protecting the environment, the Chief Minister said.
