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.
