Raj to introduce ‘Green Budget’ next yr: CM

Jaipur: Over seven crore saplings have been planted in Rajasthan, with a goal of 50 crore saplings within five years under the Chief Minister’s Plantation Maha Abhiyan. Speaking at a Clean Air Day event at JECC, Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma said that starting next year, the state will introduce a “green budget” that integrates principles of green growth and environmental protection into all development projects. Additionally, 1,000 electric buses will soon be deployed in major cities to support a pollution-free Rajasthan.

The Chief Minister’s Plantation Maha Abhiyan was launched in Rajasthan on World Environment Day. So far, over seven crore saplings have been planted, with an ambitious target of 50 crore saplings set for the next five years.

“Taking inspiration from the Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam campaign run by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Chief Minister’s Plantation Maha Abhiyan has been started in the state on World Environment Day, under which over seven crore saplings have been planted and a target has been set to plant 50 crore saplings in 5 years,” he said.

Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav highlighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mission LiFE’ aims to promote ecofriendly lifestyles.

He said that environmental pollution has been reduced in 131 cities across the country through innovative technology and collaborative efforts. Yadav added that the Government of India is addressing seven key areas through the Ideas for Life program.

CM Sharma emphasized that nature conservation is a shared responsibility.

“Nature offers many gifts to humanity, and in return, we should contribute to its preservation through responsible use of resources and tree planting. Simple actions, like reducing water waste, consuming only what we need, and using shared transportation, can create significant change,” he said.

“This achievement was made possible through coordination with the Commission for NCR and various departments.

The Rajasthan Pollution Control Board has also implemented air quality monitoring stations, mobile vans, and an online pollution monitoring system in over 600 industries,” he said.
