Dehradun Institute to Report on Low Survival Rate of Transplanted Trees in Delhi

A Dehradun-based institute will submit a report within six months on the low survival rate of transplanted trees in Delhi, with a study spanning one year and a budget of ₹30 lakh. The interim report will review existing data, while the final report will include field assessments. Survival rates have been low, with only 42.5% of 1,357 trees transplanted between 2019 and 2022 surviving. The study aims to improve transplantation methods and maintenance practices, potentially influencing Delhi's Tree Transplantation Policy, 2020.
