Those officers who have
been discharging their duties with utmost sincerity and dedication shall be
given three options of posting place," Chief Minister Nabam Tuki told .
He said officials doing
exceptionally well in preservation of the rich flora and fauna would get
priority in promotions.
Tuki suggested inclusion
of subjects like forest conservation, importance of wildlife and impact of
global warming in school syllabus. He asked the department concerned to
co-ordinate with the education department to implement the plan at the
earliest.
"This will educate
our children in their elementary stage and will also generate awareness among
their parents over the importance of forest and wildlife," he said.
Announcing that the
state has received the highest grant under the 13th Finance Commission by way
of 'Green Bonus', the chief minister emphasised on the need to protect the
forest so that the state can continue to get higher central allocation in near
future.
He also stressed on
increasing the state's forest cover from 82 per cent to 90 per cent through
rubber and tea plantations wherever applicable.
Exhorting officials to
gainfully utilise CAMPA fund meant for afforestation programme, the chief
minister said community participation should be made mandatory in such schemes.
"We must start
afforestation programmes with economically viable plants so that economic generation
could be ensured alongside increasing forest cover," Tuki said.
He also suggested
involving community and individuals under the programme so that they could be
equally benefited from such afforestation programmes. He asked the department
to start the process on phase wise manner by selecting few divisions on an
experimental basis.
