The aim of the scheme is to increase the forest cover in the state by up to 33% and increase greenery in every village and town.

Every gram panchayat and municipality is participating in the programme and working towards protecting the environment by planting saplings. Government departments, educational institutions and NGOs are also participating in the programme.
