- The HARIT Aaykar initiative was launched with the aim to increase greenery and create micro-forests around IT Department’s buildings as well as public areas.
- Under the initiative, the first micro-forests were inaugurated by the Chairperson of the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Nitin Gupta.
- To achieve this goal, the IT Department will encourage people to plant a wide variety of plants on a plot of land in a fairly dense manner.
- A micro-forest is a small, planted forest that maximizes tree density and biodiversity.
- The most famous technique to create a micro-forest over a small piece of land is the Miyawaki technique which is named after Japanese Botanist, Akira Miyawaki.
