NTR District Plans Two Lakh Seed Balls to Boost Greenery
NTR district wants to grow more trees and plants.
Students and volunteers made two lakh seed balls.
Seed balls contain seeds that can grow into plants in suitable places.
The district administration will distribute them in hills, forests and barren areas.
Drones may spread the seed balls across the district.
Collector Dr G Lakshmisha said this could help nature grow new plants.
The programme also encouraged people to reduce plastic, recycle and separate waste.
One Earth–One Life also supports rooftop gardens, composting and learning about plants.
Two lakh seed balls are being prepared for distribution across suitable hill, forest and barren areas in NTR district.
Students and volunteers handed the seed balls to the district administration during a programme in Vijayawada.
Collector Dr G Lakshmisha said the seed balls could support natural regeneration and increase green cover.
The seed balls are expected to be dispersed by drones to encourage natural germination across the district.
One Earth–One Life also promotes rooftop gardens, home composting and environmental awareness, and developed Dhanvanthari Vanam at the Collectorate.
