Pay attention to the protection of those plants along with plantation
Minister Patel said that the good results of the orientation program organized in the past came in the form of dialogue. He said that he should come with his full preparation in the training and workshop. We do good work for the development of our area. He said that while contemplating the actual status of development works at the panchayat and district level, all the officials should be self -assessed whether they are satisfied with their works and have been able to bring positive changes in the society. Minister Patel said that the success of any scheme is not possible alone, but only through team spirit, cooperation and sustainable dialogue. He said that all the officers should inform us about the grassroots challenges, so that action plans can be made keeping in mind those challenges. In campaigns such as plantation, it is also necessary to not plant saplings, but also the responsibility of their care and survival, especially the plants of local species near water sources should be given priority.
