Sagar Watch News/ Under the Amrit Harit Maha Abhiyan, a divisional-level Urban Environment Conservation Workshop was held on Friday at Padmakar Auditorium with a special focus on the Zero Waste theme.
The workshop aimed to strengthen environmental protection in urban areas, turn tree plantation into a people’s movement, and enhance the role of urban local bodies in sustainable and green development.
Senior officials from the Urban Development and Housing Department, Bhopal, Municipal Commissioner, and officers from all municipal corporations, municipalities, and councils of Sagar division attended the event.
Sagar Watch Explainer
Zero Waste: A system where waste is reduced, reused, and recycled so that almost nothing goes to landfills.
Urban Local Bodies (ULBs): Local government institutions like municipal corporations, municipalities, and councils that manage city services.
Biodiversity: The variety of plants, animals, and other living organisms in an area.
Local Species: Plant varieties that naturally grow in the region and survive better with less care.
Sustainable Development: Development that meets today’s needs without harming the environment for future generations
Officials were briefed on government guidelines, which require every urban local body to meet its tree plantation targets for 2026, while also ensuring the protection and proper growth of planted saplings.
Municipal Commissioner said the campaign is not limited to planting trees but is a long-term commitment to providing a clean, green, and safe environment for future generations. He stressed that tree planting is essential to address rising pollution, increasing temperatures, and water scarcity in cities.
Experts highlighted the long-term benefits of tree plantation, including improved air quality, water conservation, temperature control, biodiversity protection, and better public health.
Emphasis was also laid on using local plant species to create sustainable green spaces. A live telecast of state-level activities under the campaign helped officials learn about ongoing innovations and best practices.
In a balanced review, while the workshop showed strong administrative coordination and clear targets, officials were reminded that real success depends on public participation and regular maintenance of trees after planting.
At the conclusion, certificates were awarded to urban bodies that performed exceptionally well, with an appeal for all municipalities to replicate these efforts and ensure lasting environmental impact.
