Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday credited farmers hard work for the emergence of Uttar Pradesh as an economic superpower in the country and said in the last nine years, the nation had seen farmers and labourers becoming the agenda of a government for the first time.

It is more of a norm than an exception inUttar Pradesh, where the departments are headed by civil engineers in 29 development authorities in the state. The resultant state of horticulture is there for all to see.

The facility that was constituted with an aim to have an effective planning to develop parks, plantations, green belts, vegetated landscapes and urban/rural forests to enrich the atmospheric air with Oxygen is in a shambles, feel both environmentalists and constituents of the UP horticulture department. The primary cause of the grim picture of green works is the absence of dedicated horticulture departments in the public authorities.

Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences/ECOLOGY/Forestry are two completely different disciplines and a person qualified in one stream cannot take up or perform the job of another, whose requirements are completely different.

A distinct and dedicated horticulture department in a public authority is vital to prevent, control and abate the rising Air Pollution in most of the cities of Uttar Pradesh.
