Indeed we will be grateful.

you cheeeeeeky fellow.....dont make me suffer

by the way, how many trees will you plant ?

Don't know yr but i will try to plant as many as i can ye to sawaab ka kaam bhi hai and it will benefit not us but our future generations too.

We have enough schools and hospitals in Lahore/Pindi. So Metro was not so much out of the line.

lol bro, but SS uses Punjab's budget just on Lahore, our areas and cities are neglected.

"According to media reports, Accountant General of Pakistan has revealed that from a total budget of PKR 1680bn for the 36 districts of Punjab, almost PKR 600bn is used by Lahore only while PKR 265bn for the rest of 35 districts. The fact implies that population of only one million gets three times more funds than the 8 million population from other cities."

You are counting it as if only one person is planting. Its going to be done in 10000 parts and have budget of 1285 million. multiply one person with probably 10000 or 100000 and see the result.
I'm not very good at maths , hope I'm not embarrassing myself.

World average of forest area is around 26 %.
If you add Pakistan and India, its around 26 %.
Pakistan is much better than Qatar which is 0%. Egypt has 0.07%
Suriname has around 90 %.

Is the budget allocated to this project mentioned anywhere?

Assuming it takes a team of three people (to dig the hole in a suitable area, get the sapling to it, and then plant and water it) 5 minutes to plant one tree, one team will plant about 96 trees per 8 hour shift with no breaks. To plant about 55,000 trees per day (about 20 million per year to meet the stated goal of 100 millions trees over 5 years) will requite about 573 3-man teams, or about 1750 people (not counting any supervisors or managers etc.). Paying them minimum wage would total about a billion PKR over 5 years, not counting any other costs associated with such a vast project.

If the quoted budget of 1285 million is to be believed, it leaves about 300 million PKR for all the other costs: the trees, transportation of the saplings, labor and water, supervision, tending to the saplings once planted, replacing lost saplings, etc. etc.), not counting days off due to weather and manpower issues.

Possible, but not likely.

One of the problems with the socialistic type government is that they want to manage everything. What will be the incentive for any team to do a proper job that is to plant trees, except pay with no oversight. The project is slated to be a failure if proper measures are not in placed. They will buy 100 million trees but will they be planted or taken care of is another thing. Ask the kpk govt, how they did it. Everything is possible with public-private partnership. This target of 100 million trees plantation for the size of a country that is Pakistan is too low. It should be 3 billion at least for the next 5 years. Nonetheless, it is a step in right direction but with the flawed policy of socialism.

My bad. 1285 million + another 1285 million ( fed +provincial gov.) will be spent to plant 5.5 million trees in punjab only.

Those numbers make more sense.

Would planting in public areas be any good?

i mean who will protect the young saplings from humans trampling and animal feeding. probably starting from house is a good idea.

 

[Azadkashmir]

plant food/herbal producing trees. This project will be great for therapy purposes forrest helps you relax and you will feel you are with nature.

Exactly
