CONSTITUTION OF STATE FORESTS

Andhra Pradesh is the fourth largest State in coverage of Geographical area and the

second largest State in Forest area in the Indian Union. The total Forest area of the State is

63813.73 Sq. Kms. which occupies 23.20% of the total Geographical area of 2,75,068

Sq.Kms. which is almost equal to the country's average percentage of forests.

The forests of the Andhra Pradesh State are distributed in different agro-climatic

zones with varying composition and forest types, majority of which are classified as

(1) Tropical Dry Deciduous (2) Southern Tropical Moist Deciduous and (3) Southern

Tropical Thorn forests. Most of the forest area was highly degraded owing to biotic pressure

and over use of forest resources. Since last one decade most of the degraded areas have

been reclubbed with the implementation of Community Forest Management programme

through more than 8499 Vana Samrakshana Samithis.

CHAPTER - IV

SILVICULTURE

4.1. System of Management:

Management of the State Forests is carried out by the Forest Department with an

objective of progressive and sustained yield. The Departmental schemes are oriented to

increase per hectare yield potential of the Forest Resources in the state so as to meet the

demands of the multiplying population, and wood based industries.

The entire forest area is brought under the sanctioned working plans and it is

managed on the scientific lines. As per the guidelines issued by the Government of India,

extraction of natural forests is completely stopped.

Most of the Degraded Forest Area is being regenerated through Community Forest

Management according to the Micro Plan prescriptions. The Micro plans are prepared in

consultation with the members of Vana Samrakshana Samithis. The working plans are

prepared for ten years. In Thirteen circles (45) divisions are included. All the 45 Divisions

working plans have been approved by the Government of India.

4.2. Regeneration:

4.2.1. Natural Regeneration:

The Natural Regeneration in the Forest is by natural seeds shed by the trees. In

addition to this coppice regeneration is also takes place naturally in the forest area. Different

tending operations are carried out to guide these natural regenerations subject to the

availablity of budget.

4.2.2. Afforestation measures:

The forestry policy stipulated to have at least 1/3rd of land area under "forest". This

target can not be achieved unless massive efforts are made in afforestation out side the

reserve forests in non-forest lands namely private lands, community lands and other public

lands.

During last 6 years from 2003 to 2009, 17914.83 lakhs seedlings raised in nurseries

have been utilized for planting in public & private lands, farm forestry in marginal agricultural

lands, field bund planting and in homesteads. Of the seedlings distributed, fuel and fodder

species constitute nearly 80%, while the rest include fruit and shade plants. Farm forestry

potential in Andhra Pradesh is estimated to yield annually 5 to 6 lakh tons of wood.

10

During last two decades department has raised plantations on Tank Foreshores over an

area of approx. 30,000 Ha. and Other Community Land plantations over an area of approx.

28,000 Ha.

Because of intensive social forestry activities taken up in the state since last decade,

Andhra Pradesh state stands first among all the states in tree cover outside the forest area

which is 9011 Sq.Km. as assessed by Forest Survey of India. This is ample proof of the

increase in the awareness of the people and the success of the programs taken up for

increasing the tree cover outside the conventional forest areas.

Details of seedlings utilized District wise during last six years from 2006-07 to 2008-09

are furnished below:

The Forest Department implemented Shelterbelt Plantations Scheme for raising of

plantations over Government lands in the coast within 0.5 Km width from the coast line and

distribution of seedlings for planting in the private farm lands by the farmers within 5 Km

5.1. Plan Schemes:

5.1.1. EXTERNALLY AIDED PROJECTS: GH (03)

1. Andhra Pradesh Community Forest Management Project (APCFM Project – Externally Aided Project) Andhra Pradesh Community Forest Management Project was launched on the 1st November 2002 and became effective from 25th November 2002. This project is supported financially by the World Bank through credit from International Development Agency (IDA) and the Government of Andhra Pradesh. An amount of 85.50 Million XDRs (Rs.680.92 crores – Rs.560.81 crores of IDA Share+Rs.120.11 crore State share) is available on credit from the IDA for implementation of this Project over a period of five years. This Project aims at benefiting 3,25,000 families dwelling in forest fringe villages through 5000 vanasamrakhshana Samities (village level forest protection and management institutions constituted with forest dependant families most (30% of whom are tribals) in 14 forest rich districts of Andhra Pradesh with a target to treat 3.158 lakh Ha of low-density forest area. The districts where the project is being implemented are Adilabad, Karimnagar, Warangal, Khammam, Nizamabad, Medak, Mahabubnagar, Srikakulam, Vizianagaram, Visakhapatnam, East Godavari, Nellore, Chittoor and Kadapa.

The development objective of this project is alleviation of rural poverty of the people involved in forestry activities. There are three interdependent components viz., creation of

enabling environment for Community Forest Management, Forest management and

Community development. The activities under the component of creation of enabling environment for Community Forest Management includes policy and legal reforms, institutional development and capacity building of stake holders.

Activities under the component of forest management include, treatment of forests under management of VSSs. This is through rejuvenation of degraded forests and conversion of scrub forests into productive plantations. This includes soil and moisture conservation works under watershed development approach, fire and grazing control, social forestry in non forest areas, applied research and extension and a comprehensive inventory of forest resources. The component of Community development aims at income generation activities and bridging the gaps of critical infrastructure to ensure sustainability of project investments. Activities also include addressing the issues of tribals and those families involved in involuntary situation for resettlement on account of implementation of the current Project and A.P Forestry Project which was implemented previously with the support of World Bank.

3. Integrated Forest Protection

(Centrally Sponsored Scheme-75% Central Share-25% State Share)

Accidental forest fires are almost an annual feature in the State. Though these fires

are ground fires only yet they have effect on the young regeneration of the various floral and

faunal species, besides making the areas devoid of humus.

It is contemplated to protect the forests from fire hazards, by way of providing

required infrastructure and taking up of fire control measures under the scheme Integrated

Forest Protection with the funds made available by the GOI. The facilities are also used to

prevent smuggling of valuable forest produce and poaching of wild animals.

This scheme was 100% central sector scheme till 2002-03. However, from 2003-04

onwards the GOI has changed the funding pattern to 75:25 ratio between the Central and

State Government.

Creation and Maintenance of Fire lines, Survey & Demarcation of the boundaries, Engaging Fire Watchers, Procurement of Fire Fighting equipments, Purchase of Vehicles for providing mobility to the staff, Creating infrastructure like maintenance of roads, Construction of Staff quarters and strengthening the wireless network are the main activities of the scheme.

During the year 2008-09, against release of Rs. 294.23 lakhs an amount of Rs.223.29

lakhs has been spent.

4. River Valley Project:

(Centrally Sponsored Scheme-90% Central Share and 10% State Share)

The scheme is under implementation from 1962-63 onwards on the basis of

watershed approach. Till 2000-01 the GOI provided 100% fund for implementation of the

scheme and from 2001-02 onwards, funding pattern has been changed. The scheme is

under implementation with funding pattern of 90:10 between Central & State Government.

This scheme is included in the Macro Management Plan of Agriculture and the

Commissioner & Director of Agriculture, A.P. being the Nodal Officer of Macro Management

of Agriculture is releasing the funds received from Government of India for this scheme.

The main object of the RVP Scheme is to prevent soil erosion in the catchment areas of Machkund-Sileru Basin, to reduce the sittation of the reservoir and to improve the productivity of the degraded lands in the catchment through vegetative and soil-moisture conservation measures. The objective is also to away the tribals from Podu Cultivation and also to improve employment potential and economic relief to the rural poor.

There are altogether 232 watersheds with a treatable area of 2,32,700 Ha. of which

115 watershed covering an area of 1,27,077 Ha. has been saturated. At present the scheme

is implemented in (19) watersheds. Besides these, (9) new watersheds approved by GOI

area also being treated during 2006-07.

5. Integrated Afforestation & Eco-Development Project (IAEP)

(6-Dist. – Centrally Sector Schemes 100% Central Assistance)

Government of India has formulated a scheme titled “National Afforestation

Programme” by merging the four IX Plan Centrally Sponsored Afforestation Schemes of

the Ministry of Environment and Forests namely; Integrated Afforestation and Eco-

Development Project (IAEPs), Area Oriented Fuel Wood & Fodder Projects (AOFFPs),

Conservation and Development of Non-Timber Forest Produce including Medicinal Plant

Scheme (NTFP) and Association of Schedule Tribes and Rural Poor in Regeneration of

Degraded Forests (ASTRP) with a view to reduce multiplicity of the schemes, avoiding

delays in availability of funds at the field level and institutionalizing peoples participation in

project formulation and its implementation. Thus, the programme started in 2002.

The Scheme is being implemented under two tier setup namely; the Forest

Development Agencies and Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMs or Vana

Samrakshana Samithies). The two tier approach apart from building capabilities at the grass

roots level would also empower the local people to participate in the decision making

process.

As per the approval accorded by Government of India, the forest areas are being

treated under the streams of following treatment with the involvement of Vana Samrakshana

Samithies.

Aided Natural Regeneration – Under this, gap planting is taken up in the existing

marginal forests areas by planting 200 plants of NTPF species per Ha.

Artificial Regeneration – Degraded forest areas are ploughed and planting with

economic important species taken up under this treatment and 1100 plants per

hectare are planted.

Pasture Development – 400 fodder species plants are planted per Ha.

Mixed Plantation with NTFP value and medicinal plants (1100 plants/Ha.)

Bamboo plantations.

The scheme was first started during X-FYP (2002-07) and 31 projects (FDAs) were

sanctioned by GOI. This scheme would be continued during XI- Fifth Five Year Plan

period (2007-12). During 2007-08 new FDAs in Visakhapatnam, Nandyal, Nellore &

Khammam Divisions have been sanctioned. Thus as of now, 35 FDAs have been

sanctioned in 20 Districts. It is proposed to cover all the districts of A.P. during the XI

FYP period.

5.1.3. XII Finance Commission Grants – Maintenance of Forests

(Central Sector Scheme-100% Central Assistance)

The Twelfth Finance Commission has allocated Rs.6500.00 lakhs for “maintenance of Forests”. The amount has to be utilized during the period of 2006-07 to 2009-10. It was decided in the High Level Committee meeting to incur the expenditure @ Rs.1300.00 lakh per annum from 2005-06 onwards and accordingly GOI have released Rs.650.00 lakh for year 2005-06 to take up the developmental activities under the following components.

Forest Protection (Rs.190.00 lakh)

Forest Development Agency (Rs.150.00 lakh)

Social Forestry (Rs.175.00 lakh)

Wildlife (Rs.135.00 lakh)

During the year 2008-09, against release of Rs. 2043 lakhs an amount of Rs.1904.60 lakhs has been spent.

The funds provided by the 12th Finance commission were utilized to achieve the

objective of ensuring protection to forests against encroachments and illicit fellings.

Creation of sufficient infrastructure to provide mobility to the staff, engaging of Tribal Helpers

as a striking force, Survey and demarcation of Forest land, constructing internal roads in the

Forests for getting (advance) information regarding various illegal activities, new quarters for

stay of front line staff and sheds near check post, procurement of new vehicles in a phased

manner, Secret Service Fund, Purchase of GPS Technologies and Demarcation of Forest

Blocks are some of the sub-activities of this component.

The funds are being utilized for building up infrastructure in the Sanctuaries and National Parks Viz., Creation of waterholes, Development of fodder resources, Preparation of publicity material, Fire protection lines etc. Mahavir Harina Vanasthali National Park at Hyderabad and Kambalakonda Wildlife Sanctuary at Visakhapatnam are under threat of encroachment. Hence, chain link fence work is being taken up and the work is under progress. In Penusila Narasimha Wildlife Sanctuary which is recently notified, boundary demarcation work is being taken up. Animal Trackers have been hired to monitor the movement of the wild animals including the Tiger under this scheme. Nature camps are also being conducted to the School Children. Funds have also been allocated for eco-restoration of Kolleru Wildlife Sanctuary.

In pursuance of the decision taken in the State Level Tiger Protection Meeting held on 17.10.2005 under the Chairmanship of the Chief Secretary, 400 tribal trackers have been taken on hire. These helpers act as intelligence information gatherers on matter corresponding to poaching smuggling etc., monitor tiger and leopard movements in the forests areas. The payment for these tribal trackers is being met under the Wildlife Component.

The incidences of crop damage by blackbucks listed in the Schedule-I, of Wildlife

(Protection) Act, 1972, were repeatedly highlighted and therefore the funds are utilized to

translocate the blackbucks from Kurnool District to Nagarjunasagar Srisailam Tiger Reserve

under the Wildlife Component.

6.2. SUPPLIES TO BUROODS / INDUSTRIES

PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRIES: Prior to 1975 there were two paper mills i.e., M/s. Sirpur Paper Mills (SPM) and M/s. Andhra Pradesh Paper Mills Limited (APPM) in the State. Bamboo was being supplied by the forest department under long-term agreement. These Paper mills have expanded their production from time to time even though they existed for a long time. They are located in Adilabad and East Godavari Districts respectively. During 1977 and 1978 two more paper mills have been established primarily depending on the forest department for the raw material supplies. These are:

1. M/s. Sree Rayalaseema Paper Mills Limited situated at Kurnool, in Kurnool District (SRPM).

2. M/s. Bhadrachalam Paper Boards Limited situated at Sarapaka, Khammam District (BPBL).

RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT: The total production capacity of all the four paper mills is 2,97,500 Turnover per Annum (TPA). The raw material requirement of all paper mills is estimated at 800 thousand MTs. The figure of raw material requirement has been based on the conversion rate of 2.80 MB of raw material for one MT Paper produced. M/s Sree Rayalaseema Paper Mills has been closed since 1989-90 lease year since it was treated as a sick unit. The main forest raw material being used in paper industry is hard wood and bamboo. The production of bamboo in the State is not enough to meet the full requirement of the Paper industry. The total bamboo growing stock in the State is estimated to be about 34 Lakh Metric Tonnes. As against this growing stock the annual production of bamboo from the Forest of Andhra Pradesh is about 3.5 Lakhs M.Ts. This is further coming down due to flowering of much bamboo growing area. About 1.0 Lakh Metric Tonnes of bamboo is consumed by the paper and pulp industries and the balance of one Lakh Metric Tonnes goes to the domestic sector. In view of the shortage of bamboo raw material the paper industries have started using short fiber of mixed and hard wood also by making necessary changes in the technology. ROYALTY RATES:

The agreement provided for revision of royalty rates once in every five years and the royalty rates fell due for revision in 1980 at the first instance. The Government constituted an Expert Committee to advice on fixation of royalty both of bamboo and hard wood supplies to various wood based industries in the State i.e., including those other than paper industries also. The committee was required to consider various factors while recommending the Royalty rates, such as market prices, replacement costs, concession, if any to be given and sustainability of supplies, etc.

The Government have examined and accepted recommendations of the Committee. The rates are given below. Royalty rates for bamboo and hard wood supplies to paper mills.

The paper industries have protected and latest challenged the revision rates of supply of raw material in the Supreme Court inview of their cases lost in the High Court. The case is still pending for disposal. Meanwhile A.P. Forest Produce (Fixation of selling price) Act, 1989 was enacted.

40

This Act Provides for fixing selling prices for supply of raw material from government resources to various wood based industries following certain prescribed procedure, as detailed below.

a. The selling price for the bamboo raw material for supply to paper industries shall be fixed basing on the production costs, at the point of supply.

b. The selling price for the miscellaneous mixed wood suitable particle boards, rayon grade pulp and paper pulp shall be fixed basing on the production costs, but not below the market value of the produce at the point of supply.

c. The selling price for timber for supply to plywood industries shall be fixed basing on the market value, at the point of supply.

With the enforcement of Act from 1-10-1991 all the existing agreements for supply of raw material stood abrogated. The new agreement with the paper industries for supply of bamboo raw material is for a period of 6 years. The selling prices for bamboo raw material are given below:

1990-91 Rs. 596 / MT (excluding moisture lose 10%)







1997-98 Rs. 1330 / MT (including moisture lose 10%)












No hard woods are proposed to be supplied to paper industries in view of shortage. Industrialist are however able to feed their industries using casuarina wood, largely obtained from east coast, where it has got a boost quantity on account of social forestry programme.

BASKETS AND MAT WEAVING INDUSTRY:

Small scale Industry where good quantities of bamboo is consumed is basket-weaving community called Burood or Medara. Over ages this community has been procuring bamboo and cane from the forest and seeking livelihood by making baskets, mats, tattas and other articles required in rural areas. The State Forests are meeting the bonafide requirement of this Burood co-operatives and register themselves with the concerned District Industries centres. Each member is supplied with 2000 bamboo per annum, 50% is round form and the balance in split form. There are 487 registered societies with total membership of 8200 (approximately). Green Bamboo is supplied to these societies on subsidised rates, which is around 50% of the market rate.

6.3. COLLECTION OF BEEDILEAFS, TARGETS & ACHIEVEMENTS:

In order to get soft loans from the Nationalised Banks and financial institutions the Government created State trading corporations for transacting the government business. Accordingly a State Trading Circle is present in the Forest Department to transact the activities of Beedi leaf collection every.

The Beedi leaf Trade was Nationalised in all the 10 Districts of Telangana Region with effect from 9-11-1970 through the Andhra Pradesh Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) ordinance which was subsequently replaced by the A.P.Minor Forest Produce Act, 1971 (Act 4 of 1971). In the year 1987, the Departmental collection of Beedi Leaf was taken up by eliminating the middlemen and the A.P.Forest Development Corporation Limited was appointed as Agent to the Government which financed the Scheme with Margin Money provided by the Government and at the end of the financial year remits to the Government, all the net revenue after repayment of Bank Loans with interest and meeting the relevant components of expenditure as per the scheme. Thus from the year 1988-89 the Government accounts show only the net revenue realised by the Department as against the normal gross revenue figures shown till 1987-88. The Departmental Collection of Beedi Leaf Scheme is basically a social welfare scheme as it is totally labour oriented. There are 440 beedi leaf units spread all over the 10 districts comprising of 23 Divisions of Telangana Region under 5 Territorial Circles and the Field Director, Project Tiger, Srisailam. Departmental collection of beedi leaf was continued upto 1996 season and local persons mainly from the tribals and other weaker sections were appointed as khalladars to supervise the collection, curing, bagging and transport of beedi leaf to godowns. Only good leaf fit for making at least one beedi was delivered to purchasers at godowns. Since 1997 the policy has been revised for collection of beedi leaf in Telangana Region where in the green leaf will be collected and handed over to the purchasers, on the day of collection. All operations like Pruning, Appointment of Khalladars, Curing, Handling and Transportation of leaf to godown would be taken up by the Purchasers only.

1) ADMINISTRATIVE SET UP:-

The statement showing the posts sanctioned (category-wise) under the scheme is enclosed herewith as Annexure-I.

2) LEGISLATION ON BEEDI LEAF COLLECTION & TRADE:-

Before introduction of State Trading in Abnus Leaves in 1971, the right to collect abnus leaves was sold by public Auction on lumpsum contract. The private pattadars too, used to sell Beedi Leaf grown in their holdings to the private contractors usually on negotiated terms. When demand and commercial value of beedi leaf had increased private contractors with the help of influential pattadars and local villagers started pilfering and smuggling beedi leaf from the Forests and Government lands leading to considerable loss of revenue to the Government. To arrest this trend, the matter was discussed by the Central Board of Forestry in 1953 which recommended legislative measures to control, the trade of beedi leaf. Accordingly the A.P.Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) ordinance was promulgated in 1970 subsequently which was replaced by Andhra Pradesh Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) Act, 1971 (Act No.4 of 1971). The Provisions were brought into operation with effect from 9-11-1970 in the 10 Districts of Telangana Region of Andhra Pradesh, which are the main Abnus Leaf growing areas of the State, under the Act the possibility of growers smuggling the leaves from the Government lands is eliminated and public trust is effectively secured. Besides payment of fair wages timely payment also ensured to the laborers who are mostly from the weaker sections of the society and tribals. 3) THE INCOME OF THE DEPARTMENT WITH DETAILS:- During the 2008 season, departmental collection of beedi leaf was undertaken in

(313) units, out of 440 beedi leaf units and (127) units remained unsold. The Circle-wise

CHITOOR EAST WILD LIFE DIVISION: This Division has an area of 2043.95 Sq.Kms.The

Territorial boundaries of this division are as follows:

North: Kadapa – Chittoor District common boundary, Western boundary of Talakona RF and Southern boundary of Chamala & Nagapatla RFs & Eastern boundary of Tirupati, Karakambadi & Mamandur RFs and Nellore, Chittoor District common boundary.

East: Nellore, district of Andhra Pradesh and Chengalpattu district of Tamilnadu. South: Andhra Pradesh – Tamil Nadu State Common boundary. West: Rayachoti – Piler - Vellore Road.

Floristic Description:- The general floristic occurring under the main classification of the forest types is discussed below: DRY RED SANDERS BEARING FORESTS:- These forests are found in the inner slopes on Veligonda hills of Tirupati and Srikalahasti ranges, between the altitudes of 300m (about 1000 feet) and 600m (about 2000 feet). The upper canopy is a closed but uneven and not very dense. It is formed by a mixture of trees, which are deciduous during the dry season for several months, through some are for a short period only. “Pterocarpus Santalinus” (Red Sanders) is conspicuously predominant, sometimes forming pure consociations here and there. Due to periodical fires these forests are open. Heavy growth of evergreen and semi-evergreen species is found in moist and more sheltered parts. As undergrowth or shrubs is sparse, good grass growth is seen which tends to become more strongly developed with repeated fires. Climbers are comparatively few.

Red sanders that predominate on Seshachalam hills is absent on other hillocks of the same

elevation and corresponding climate. Hence, it is felt that this type is more of edaphic climax

than a climatic climax. The rocks on Seshachalam hills contain iron ore in some degree and

it is not known whether this or any other micro elements present in the rock and soil is

responsible for the gregarious occurrence of Red sanders. This assumption is further

confirmed by the fact that while Red sanders occur in increasing percentage in the rocky

zones. It suddenly disappears in the built up sandy loam areas giving place to thorny dry

deciduous species.

65

THE PLATEAU FORESTS:- This type of forest is mainly dry mixed deciduous forest, the

crop is different and is distinguishable separately as a type by itself and hence this deserves

a separate description. This type is found on the entire hill ranges above 600m (about 2000

feet) level. It is confined mainly to the high level plateau near Tirumala and to places above

the „escarpment of the Seshachalam hills‟ in Bhakarapet Range and on other hill ranges

that are above the level mentioned. This is a climatic climax. Eugenia alternifolia forms the

predominant crop while Shorea tumbuggaia is confined to hillocks and ridges and Shorea

talura is found in the more moist localities. Terminalia pallida is the common associate in

these forests and hence this type can be described as Terminalia – Eugenia – Shorea

type.

11.2. SOIL AND MOISTURE CONSERVATION AND BIO-DIESEL PLANTATIONS:

Forests and Forests crops are totally dependent on natural rain water. There is no

irrigation and intensive cultivation of Forest crops. Forests provide rains through natural

precipitation but due to the runoff the forest soils are always deprived of natural moisture. In

order to circumvent this situation human interventions are necessary to enhance the Soil

Moisture conditions. The wildlife of Forests is totally dependent for water on the forests.

Taking all the scenario the NABARD came forward to help the Forest sector to finance the

intervention structures to improve the moisture regime of Forest Soils.

These structures will improve the water impounding capacity of the Forest Soils and

as a result the soil moisture condition will improve. Such structures are Continous Peripheral

trenches, Continous Contour trenches, Check dams, Percolation tanks, Rock fill dams, etc.

Water Impounding Capacity created through execution of SMC works between

May 2000 to March 2009. (in lakhs cmt)

Bio-Diesel Plantations:

The Forest Department is taking up Pongamia Plantations with the assistance of

NABARD under RIDF. The NABARD has sanctioned Rs. 94.42 crores to carry out bio-diesel

plantation in 40,400 Ha. The projects are being implemented since 2004-05. Apart from planting

these areas are treated with suitable Water Harvesting Structures to improve water regime and

give boost to vegetative growth. So far an area of 18786 Ha is planted under RIDF X & XII bio-

diesel plantations in the State.

Bio-diesel plantation in forest area are carried out through VSS‟s. The usufruct rights

vest with the VSS as per G.O. Ms. No.13 EFS&T (For III), dt. 12.2.2002. Pongamia starts

yielding after 5 years of planting. VSS‟s can enter into MOU with processing units to sell the

seeds/ raw oil. The VSS are at liberty to use part of their income for crop improvement which will

results in better yields.Depending on the soil conditions and topography two planting models are

being adopted.

79

Model – I : It is a semi mechanical method. In this model the existing growth will be

removed and de-stumping is taken up for effective ploughing. Deep Ploughing with mould board

plough to a depth of 30 cm with heavy duty tractor will be taken up to loosen the soil. Planting

will be done in pits of 45 cubic cm size. Ploughing will be taken up along the contours during the

Raising year and also subsequent maintenance years. This model will be adopted when the

existing root stock is scanty and also beyond rejuvenation. This model is best suited when the

soil is compacted due to biotic interference. It‟s proposed to plant 400 seedlings in one hectare

at 5mX5m escapement. In this model Soil and Moisture Conservation works such as CCTs,

PTs, sunken gully pits etc., will be taken up.

Model – II : Planting will be taken up in trench-cum pit method. Staggered trenches at 5mX5m

escapement will be dug with the dimension of 1mX1mX 0.25m with a central pit of 45 cubic cm.

Efforts will be made to retain all useful coppice growth during planting operations. This model

will be employed when there is availability of viable root stock.

Along with planting, the area will be treated with suitable Water Harvesting Structures to

improve soil moisture regime.

11.8. GEOMATICS CENTRE:

Natural resource management in India aimed at longer-term, sustainable use of

public land that requires communication and interaction between natural resource agency

personnel, researchers, developers, and other land users. Bridging the knowledge gap

between these groups in terms of new tools and technologies is key to effective

communication and management. Efficient Forest Resource Management requires rapid,

reliable and accurate information regarding the status of Forests. Hence, it is imperative to

strengthen the current forest planning and management systems through latest

technologies.

For Planning, Management of above natural resources and Implementation of

different projects, the Department has adopted Information Technology and other Modern

technologies like Remote Sensing (RS), Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global

Positioning System (GPS). This has led to improvement in efficiency, transparency, ease of

monitoring projects/ schemes and ultimately sustainable development of natural resources

like forests leading to ultimate development of the forest fringe people and the society at

large. The Dept. has executed projects like Database Creation, Vegetation Monitoring, Fire

Risk Zonation Mapping, Site Suitability of Water Harvesting Structures, usage of GPS and

DGPS projects, Large scale forest Inventory, VSS asset survey, Site suitability for Plantation

areas etc. The Dept. is one of the pioneers among the Forest Depts. of the country and the

sister Depts. in the State in the implementation of above technologies leading to

improvement of efficiency and service delivery. The efforts of the Dept. have been

appreciated by the Govt. of India and the Dept. has been awarded with Silver Icon during the

year 2004 (for Fire Risk Zonation Mapping) and with Golden Icon (for Site Suitability of

Water Harvesting Structures) during the 2005 year for excellent e-Governance Initiatives.

The technologies in the above projects have helped the Department in improving the

efficiency of the staff of the Department. This has also led to transparency and timely

execution of projects/ schemes on scientific basis. The accurate information generated has

helped the Dept. in planning, implementation and monitoring of several projects on scientific

lines. Department is executing several projects like Andhra Pradesh Community Forest

Management (APCFM), Rural Infrastructure Development Project of (NABARD), Integrated

Forest Protection scheme, Wildlife schemes and many other projects with peoples‟

participation. The technology has helped in implementing the schemes successfully leading

to sustainable forest management, improve vegetation cover, improve water regime,

productivity of the land and improving socio economic condition of forest fringe people in

particular and society at large. The AP Forest Inventory Report 2010 will be useful to

practicing foresters, scientists, policy makers and communities and is a milestone to further

monitor the forest resources on a periodical basis.
