Mission to expand green cover launched in Andhra
​Andhra Pradesh CM N Chandrababu Naidu on Friday launched 'Mission Harita Andhra Pradesh' to increase the state's green cover to 50% by 2029. Andhra currently has 23% green cover (forest area) and another 3% non-forest, besides 13 lakh hectares of degraded forest. While the mission belonged to late CM Rajasekhara Reddy, Naidu gave it a new slogan 'Vanam-Manam' (forest and we).
