By
Sri L.Venkatram Reddy
Director of Horticulture & Sericulture
Telangana State
Introduction
Hyderabad is endowed with tropical wet and dry climate, with maximum temperature of 40°C
and lowest temperature of 13°C and spread in an area of 625 Sq.km. with average rainfall of
89 cmt.
The micro climate of Hyderabad is highly suitable for growing of both temperate and tropical
vegetables.
22 lakhs households existing with pakka buildings including apartments.
Nearly 100 lakhs people are living in hyderabad apart from that 20-30 lakhs floating
populations daily
The availability of open spaces for vegetable purpose is extremely limited. However most
buildings have terraces that are generally not used. These terraces receives sufficient quantity
of solar energy that is ideal to sustain life and propagates its growth.
The roof tops comes to an area of 6000 Hectares approximately. If 50% of area is converted
into roof top gardens most of the health disorders can be over come.
Role of Vegetables in daily life
Vegetables play a vital role in providing vitamins, minerals to the human
body.
As per the ICMR recommendations a human body on an average
requires 300 gms of vegetables in the diet everyday.
In the view of increasing population and cost of vegetables, non-
availability of backyard space for growing vegetables and mechanical
city life, it is envisaged to provide quality, pesticide residue free, fresh
vegetables to the city dwellers.
The Department of Horticulture Government of Telangana
introduced the scheme “ vegetable Growing In Urban Areas” under
RKVY for the year 2012-13 .
VEGETABLES REQUIREMENT FOR HYDERABAD
As per the ICMR Survey each health human being requires 300gms of
vegetables and 100gms of fruits every day
Daily Hyderabad needs minimum 3000 tones of vegetables and 100 tones of
fruits
Most of the vegetables and fruits are coming from the sub- urban, from the
neighboring districts or states.
Most of the vegetables and fruits are inorganically grow once.
The available vegetables and fruits in the city are highly infested with pesticides
and heavy metals
To meet the demand and requirement of vegetables of Hyderabad an area of 438 acres or 175 Ha. Land or roof
top per day is required.
The available roof top area of Hyderabad is 55000 acres if each household considered as occupied 100 sqm
area (i.e. 22 lakhs X 100 sqm )
The total area of vegetables required for the Hyderabad is 164250 acres or 65700 ha.
If 50% of the available roof tops / terrace area converted into growing of vegetables it is sufficient for the
growing of vegetables requirement of Hyderabad for 4 months.
Most of the vegetables and fruits are coming to Hyderabad from districts or other states
Benefits of growing vegetable on terraces
The joy of consuming the vegetables grown with the
own hands givens immense satisfaction and satiety.
The producer get fresh, pesticides residual free vegetables for
consumption.
The producer get fresh vegetables at cheaper rates.
Tasty, highly nutritious, superior quality vegetables.
Eco-friendly, pollution free environment.
Physical exercise to the city dwellers.
By growing greens an ambient temperatures will be maintained in
surroundings.
Home gardening increases the availability of oxygen.
Homestead gardening modifies micro climate and thus
reduces global warming.
AVIALABI LITY OF TREES PER PERSON PER COUNTRY
Per capita wealth of the nation will be measured in its number of trees per person
In India Hundred billion trees are available
In India per each person 28 trees are available
Canada has highest trees per person (i.e. 8953 no’s)
Russia-4461 trees per person
America-716 trees per person
China-102 trees per person
It clearly show that there is a need to improve the greenery or tree coverage in India.
This is the main concept of Telangana ku Harithaharam or growing of vegetables on terraces
TREES CONTRIBUTE TO THE ENVIRONMENT
A human breathes above 9.5 tones of air in a Year but oxygen only makes of above 23%
of that air
740 kgs of oxygen per year required for each human being
A 100-ft tree, 18” diameter at its produces 6,000 pounds or 2700 kgs of oxygen”
An average, One tree produces nearly 260 pounds or 117 kgs of oxygen each year.
7 to 8 plants per human being required for to meet demand of oxygen per year.
A typical houseplant leaf produces about 5 ml or 5 grams of oxygen per hour. A typical
human needs about 50 liters or 50 kgs of oxygen per hour.
Per person 10 thousand leaves are required to meet the demand of oxygen per hour
Tree plantings provide an opportunity for community involvement and that improves
the quality of life in our neighborhoods.
In one year an acre of mature trees can provide enough oxygen for 18 people
In one year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced when you
drive your car 26,000 miles
Trees reduce UV-B exposure by about 50 %, thus providing protection to children on school
campuses and playgrounds – where children spend hours outdoors
All pollutants released by the vehicle will be observed by the trees.
