Senapati, July 26 2019:
The Thrawchhiinya clan (khel) of Tungjoy village under Senapati district organised a tree plantation programme on July 24 at the forest in the village.
The programme was a first of its kind conducted in the village which was crowd funded by a team of young volunteers from the same clan.
Around 500 trees were planted in the community land with 40 people participating in the programme.
The saplings were procured from a local nursery in the village.

The clan is reported to take the responsibility of maintaining and nourishing the planted trees.
The volunteers and the participants decided to proceed with similar programmes of planting more trees in the community land.
Planting of trees will not only preserve environment but also contributes towards landscaping and prevent soil erosion, said elders who took part in the programme.
The people of the clan also wish to plant some fruit trees and ornamental trees too, the villagers said.
Unavailability of saplings is a problem, they said urging the Government and departments concerned to provide monetary assistance and saplings for more such programmes.
Tungjoy village is known for its rich resources in terms of land, flora and faunas.
Jhum cultivation of cabbage and potatoes are the main activities of the villagers besides paddy culture.
