Lack of rain in Kerala, Karnataka and action required

Almost one month is over ever since monsoon season has started in Kerala and Karnataka.  But unfortunately this year there is no much rain as predicted earlier and it supposed to be.  Nobody knows the real reason for the same yet, but the general reason is obvious infront of us at all times.

For the past few decades, in the name of urbanisation, real estate mafia with the support of some scrupulous politicians and officials had been ruthlessly destroying hundred thousands of trees from the land as well as  from the hills.  Apart from that in many places hills are being destroyed for quarrying purposes.  Nobody is now bothered about how this massive destruction is going to affect our environment.  There is no clear cut plan for the tree plantation in place of the destructed and removed trees. 

Because of de rooting the  trees and destructing the hills in a massive way, the nature is now punishing the human being by showering lesser rain during the monsoon season that is now causing shortage of water and excessive heat in many parts of the country during the period from  April to May.

To sort out this problem once and for all, we have to encourage tree plantation from the grass root level itself. To achieve the same we have to learn from Philippines government. Recently Philippines government enacted a law which is clearly stipulating that before the graduation, each  graduation student supposed to plant minimum 10 trees either in their  land or in a public area.  Then only they are eligible for the graduation.  The same system supposed to be introduced in India as well and I am sure that our students are willingly plant more than 10 plants if it makes it compulsory before graduation.  This will not only encourage students but also younger generation and elders as well to create our country one of the best greenest countries in the world in future.
