Maharashtra Aims to Plant 11 Crore Saplings in Three Months
The government of Maharashtra is planning to plant a lot of trees, about 110 million, as part of the 'Green Maharashtra' project.
The goal is to get all these saplings planted within three months, before the rainy season starts.
The forest department will provide some of the saplings, while other government departments will need to buy the rest using their own money.
