The funds and labour days available under VB-G RAM G should be utilised effectively for developing the nurseries on a large scale in the rural areas. The Forest Department officials informed Mr. Pawan Kalyan that 2.
60 crore seed balls had been prepared for distribution across the State during the monsoon season as part of the environment protection and afforestation drive.
