Appeal
for People's Participation
We have launched a unique and innovative programme
called “State Green Mission” with the view to raising avenue
plantation and beautification of all vacant and waste lands to further
reinforce wide spread recognition of Sikkim being a Green State.
Situated beside the
mighty snow-capped mountain Khangchendzonga amidst enchanting valleys
and rivulets, Sikkim is an extremely beautiful state. It abounds in
natural resources with pollution-free air and healthy climate. We want
to keep this distinct identity of Sikkim as a Green, Clean and Garden
State and intent to make the Green Mission a people’s movement. I
appeal to Panchayat members and common people to plant trees. They
can grow fruit-bearing and flowering plants wherever suitable. Sikkim
is called the Indrakil – garden of Lord Indra. Let us preserve our
greenery and bequeath to our children a state full of greenery,
beauty, resources and overall contentment. Let no land remain
barren. At every village and at every Panchayat ward the protection
committee should be organized.
We appeal to all to
ensure greenery drive along the periphery of National and State
highways and other district roads in each constituency. We should take
up landscaping and avenue plantations with flowering and fruiting
trees, beautiful shrubs and bushes all along various road networks
with proper design in a systematic, time bound and phased manner by
maintaining high quality standards. Every road of Sikkim should be
tree lined in the next three years.
We request all Government
agencies, Public Sector Undertakings, Institutes, NGOs, Academic
institutions and Private Sector to plant beautiful trees to make their
campus clean, green and beautiful. All vacant institutional lands
should also be planted up and beautified in phased manner. We should
all involve ourselves with full dedication and missionary zeal not
only for plantation but also for its protection.
We appeal to all
individuals living in towns and cities to decorate their houses and
balconies with beautiful flower pots. Each house in our state should
have sufficient ornamental plants with small gardens so as to act as a
model house for promotion of village tourism. Beautification works
should also be taken up in each of our bazaar areas. Every shop owner
should play a proactive role in beautifying his premises.
We should maintain
absolute cleanliness in the State by proper solid waste management. We
should not pollute our rivers streams and jhoras. We should ban
writing on trees, dumping of waste on jhoras and throwing
construction waste and mud along the roads and rivers. We solicit the
cooperation of all private and public sector organization, NGOs and
self help groups in Sikkim for their full and active participation for
making State Green Mission a great success.
The Press, TV channels,
and All India Radio should also help us in the generation of awareness
for making Sikkim Clean, Green and Garden State through Green Mission.
Adequate number of signages, banners, festoons should also be put up
all along various road networks for generation of awareness about the
State Green Mission.
We have a dream to make
Sikkim a ‘heaven on earth’ and an ultimate ecotourism destination!.
Let us all join Hands!.
