In a significant development, Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa chaired a meeting today at the Janata Bhawan, where he underscored the need for raising awareness about agroforestry and establishing a thriving wood-based industry. Dr. Biswa's vision is aimed at spearheading a new era of sustainable practices and promoting environmental consciousness.
During the meeting, the Honorable Chief Minister strongly advocated for the launch of the "Amrit Brikkha Andolan," an ambitious initiative designed to elevate the government's ongoing green movement to unprecedented heights. The initiative aims to foster a holistic approach towards environmental preservation by encouraging the cultivation of trees in agricultural lands.
Dr. Biswa emphasized the immense benefits that agroforestry offers, including improved soil health, enhanced biodiversity, and increased carbon sequestration. By integrating trees into agricultural systems, this sustainable farming method has the potential to address climate change, provide economic opportunities, and ensure a greener future for the state.
Furthermore, the Chief Minister highlighted the importance of establishing a robust wood-based industry that would capitalize on the abundant forest resources in the region. This new regime would not only generate employment opportunities but also promote sustainable utilization of wood, contributing to the state's economic growth while safeguarding its natural heritage.
The Amrit Brikkha Andolan, under the guidance of the Chief Minister, will facilitate the dissemination of knowledge about agroforestry practices among farmers, landowners, and the general public. It aims to encourage widespread adoption of sustainable farming techniques and the plantation of diverse tree species, fostering a symbiotic relationship between agriculture and forestry.
Dr. Biswa's unwavering commitment to environmental conservation and sustainable development is evident through his visionary leadership. With the launch of the Amrit Brikkha Andolan and the promotion of a wood-based industry, Assam is set to embark on a transformative journey towards a greener and more prosperous future.
