Enhancing green cover with smart tech
Lucknow’s “Plantation‑2025” initiative has just gone high‑tech! Each newly planted sapling is now geo‑tagged and monitored in real time, enabling forest officials and volunteers to track growth, soil health, and environmental stressors. These digital tags, combined with tree‑guards and on‑site sensors, aim to significantly improve survival rates through timely care and automated alerts.
What sets this apart is the community-driven model: schools, NGOs, and local businesses actively contribute, fostering both environmental stewardship and civic responsibility. With this transparent, data‑driven approach, authorities hope to set a replicable template for urban reforestation across India.
