About this project
The Tripura Forest Department established several areas without any trees called “Smriti Vans-aka Memory Forests”, where the people could come and plant trees in memory of their loved ones. This helped increase public participation in Forest Conservation. There are several people who are unable to visit the remote locations to do planting, to resolve this pain point and increase participation of that demographic also an online tool was created where people can make payment for planting, choose the desired location and planting would be done by the Forest Department staff and they will upload a geotagged photo of tree sapling planted in the applicant’s name.
