December is a beautiful time of cold weather and end of the year holidays. People get set to bid goodbye to the year 2016 with new hopes, aspirations and resolutions for 2017. And we hope that this is the right occasion for the launch of dream project - Haritha Keralam Mission. We the government of Kerala do think that this indeed is the best new year gift for Keralites.
This great mission started its journey on the eighth of December 2016 and has received a great response. The mission aims at cleaning Kerala and restoring its natural beauty. Being different from other projects, Haritha Keralam is a peoples' mission.
