MESSAGE

 

I am happy to note that the "VAN MAHOTSAVA" is being celebrated in the month of July in the Islands. This is the time when monsoon is in full swing and this makes it ideal for new tree plantation in the Islands. Our rich forest cover should not make us complacent; trees are our protectors and benefactors as these not only maintain ecological balance but also mitigate ill effects of soil erosion, pollution, flood etc.

 

I appeal to all our people to plant as many trees as possible and help the Administration in protecting the rich biodiversity of our Islands. I extend my best wishes for the success of this 63rd "VAN MAHOTSAVA".

I am happy to know that the Andaman and Nicobar Administration is observing anti-dengue month during July 2012 to create awareness among the community about vector borne diseases in general and dengue in particular.

 

Mass participation along with active co-operation of various Government Departments and Voluntary Agencies is essential to achieve overall reduction of dengue in the Islands.

I appeal to all the people, government departments, municipal council, PRIs, voluntary organisations, mahila mondals etc., to extend their wholehearted support to the Directorate of Health Services in observing Anti-Dengue month in order to fulfil the objectives of curtailing Dengue and other vector borne diseases.
