LUCKNOW: The forest department has got a target of planting over 2 crore saplings in the year 2011-12. However, it is the rural areas that may get far more saplings when compared to the city areas. Reason: The funds for plantation in 74 forest divisions come through Mahatma Gandhi Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS).
