'Haritha Keralam Mission' is one among the four missions launched by the governement of Kerala as a part of the 'Nava Keralam Mission'.The other three are namely 'Ardram', 'Life' and 'Comprehensive Educational Rejuvenation Programme'.The Main initiative of this Mission is to the development of the State & to intensify the position of Kerala on the map.
Haritha Keralam Mission is a project of and for the people of Kerala. This massive movement aims to clear and remove wastes from all water bodies in the state, ensure the proper disposal of solid waste and removal of waste water and to increase the area of land under cultivation.
Haritha Keralam Mission aims at starting its journey from the grass root level - the panchayaths - of Kerala. Vacant lands will be found, cleaned and will be used for vegetable cultivation under the supervision of the panchayaths and the municipalities. The panchayths and municipalities have also been directed to implement a well furnished and comprehensive waste management plan to collect, seperate and recycle waste.
Power generation from solar energy is a part of this project. This will be implemented under Kerala State Electricity Board. Other than this 'swap shops' are to be set up at 93 places across the state where reusable products like mobile phones, electronic products etc. can be conserved and handed over to another free of cost. Unnecessary e-waste production can be checked by this to an extent.
Haritha Kerala Geetha is the official song of the Haritha Keralam Mission. This beautiful song clearly explains the purpose of the mission. Haritha Kerala Geetham is written by the eminent poet, Prabha Varma.
