Telangana Launches Haritha Haram 2026: Focus on Urban Greenery in Hyderabad The Telangana government has officially launched the 2026 edition of its flagship green initiative, Telangana Ku Haritha Haram, aiming to enhance urban greenery and ecological balance within Hyderabad. Under this year’s program, the government has set a target of planting 10 lakh saplings within the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits. The initiative focuses on increasing green cover in urban areas to combat pollution and improve environmental sustainability. A key highlight of Haritha Haram 2026 is the establishment of Miyawaki-style micro-forests in prominent IT corridors, including Gachibowli, Uppal, and Raidurg. Miyawaki forests are known for their dense planting techniques and rapid growth, making them ideal for enhancing biodiversity in limited spaces. The move underscores Telangana's commitment to environmental conservation while addressing the challenges of urbanization. By integrating green spaces into IT hubs, the project aims to create ecological benefits for residents and professionals working in these high-density areas. Telangana Ku Haritha Haram is among the state’s flagship programs to combat climate change and promote sustainable development. The 2026 edition continues its focus on urban afforestation to make Hyderabad greener and more climate-resilient. Further details on the progress of the initiative are expected in the coming months.
