1. What method will NHAI use to increase green cover along National Highways?
NHAI plans to enhance the green cover along National Highways by implementing Miyawaki Plantation, a method known for its rapid growth and biodiversity benefits. This Japanese afforestation technique focuses on creating dense and native forests using indigenous plant species, which are well-suited to local climate and soil conditions. The Miyawaki Plantation method not only accelerates forest growth but also helps in groundwater recharge, acts as a barrier against sound and dust, and promotes ecological restoration effectively.
