 ABOUT AFFORESTATION

 NATIONAL AFFORESTATION PROGRAMME

• National Afforestation Programme (NAP) Scheme

 NATIONAL AFFORESTATION ACT 2016

• CAMPA Act or Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act
AFFORESTATION
AFFORESTATION AND ITS BENEFITS
 AFFORESTATION is planting seeds or trees to make a forest on
land which has not been a forest recently, or which has never been a
forest.

 BENEFITS OF AFFORESTATION
• It restores ecological balance of all eco systems.
• It maintains biological diversity.
• It act as catchments for the soil and water conservation.
• Plating tress can stabilize soils by increasing interception, Bring
soil together and prevent soil erosion.
• Prevent floods and safeguard future of the tribal people.
• Stabilized the climate and the forest products.
FACTS OF AFFORESTATION IN INDIA
 Total Forest Cover of India is 630 sq.km. which is 19.45 per cent of
total geographical area which states that there is imbalance in forest
management.

 INDIA CONTRIBUTE
• 18% of World Population.
• 15 % of the Worlds livestock.
• Just 2% of Geographical area.
• Forest Area is 1% and per capita is 0.08% which is even lower than
world average of 0.8%.

 Large Scale Deforestation and non optimal Afforestation are root

and branch cause for the present crisis.
Ninth Five Year Plan is already started and results of previous of
plans shows depressing result.
MAP
AFFORESTATION IN INDIA
 Afforestation a programme to protect the requirements of
society, economy and environment is divided to broad
categories.

 Production forestry : Afforestation programme wherein emphasis

is given on production of timber and wood for industrial use.

 Social forestry : A programme which is instrumental in

• Protecting social/public by increasing fuel, wood supply, fodder
supply, protection of agriculture fields against winds.
• Social Forestry are Farm Forestry, Rural forestry and Urban
Forestry

In India Afforestation is not a programme but a mission which

requires public participation.
EMERGING TRENDS IN INDIA
 Even after completion of Eight Five Year Plan, our Contribution to
world forest coverage is far below the world average. Till now we
have only 1% of world forest coverage.

 Below figure indicates that for 2 years i.e. 87 & 90 we were moving
in right direction, however emerging trends indicate that in majority
of cases, the development of forest is haphazard.

 Lapses in distribution system which virtually affect the

implementation process.

 Innovate strategy for Marketing Afforestation is thus a need of an

hour.
CHARTS
AFFORESTATION MARKETING AND ITS
JUSTIFICATIONS
 AFFORESTATION Marketing focuses on the application of
marketing principles for the time honoured and effective
implementation of programme social interest are protected,
ecological balance is maintained and avenues are paved for the
development of economy.
 FOLLOWING POINTS JUSTIFY THE APPLICATION OF
SOCIETAL MARKETING PRINCIPLES
• An Optimal mix for Afforestation programme.
• Inculcating Mass Awareness.
• Cost effectiveness.
• Benefits of Sensitive Segment.
• Benefits of Rural Economy.
• Maintaining the Ecological Balance.
• Transforming the Programme into mission.
AFFORESTATION MIX & PROMOTION
AFFORESTATION
 AFFORESTATION MIX:
o Based on the properties of different groups of plants, formulation of
package which will help in making the programme profitable and
thus succeeding in having fair bending of environmental and
commercial considerations.
o Afforestation MIX constitutes
• Rural Forestry: Ownership of land is of Public or forestry is found
in community and panchayat land.
• Farm Forestry: Ownership of land is of individual and it’s a process
of technological benefits to farm sector.
• Urban Forestry: Urban forestry aims at bringing trees to doors of
urban people and developing aesthic sense.
• Industrial Forestry: Industrial forestry is process of industrial
transformation by supplying them necessary raw materials.
 PROMOTING AFFORESTATION:

• Throws more light on promotional creative efforts which helps in

inculcating mass awareness.

• Using Sophisticated media and highly professional advertisement

agencies.

• Emphasis on Rural Segment by using Songs and Drama Division of

Govt of India. Folks songs and dramas based on Afforestation
would be helpful in motivating the rural prospects.
PRICING AND DISTRIBUTIONS
 PRICING:
• Good Support from different global organizations, however there
are cases of financial insolvency.
• The financial constraint in affecting proper maintenance and
protection of plants.
• State Forest Department should assign due weightage to those
plants which are more productive or have commercial value.
• Implementing innovative strategy for identifying the leakage.

 DISTRIBUTION:
• Need of Innovation strategy in the distribution system which
contracts the gap and makes the distribution process smooth and
fast.
• Involvement of voluntary social organizations for distribution.
• Minimizing the no of channel for distribution and activating the
lower level personnel by offering them incentives.

NATIONAL AFFORESTATION
PROGRAMME
 The overall objective of the National Afforestation Programme
(NAP) scheme is ecological restoration of degraded forests and to
develop the forest resources with peoples’ participation.
 The scheme is implemented by three tier institutional setup through
the State Forest Development Agency (SFDA) at the state level,
Forest Development Agency (FDA) at the forest division level and
Joint Forest Management Committee (JFMCs) at village level.
 The major components of the scheme includes afforestation under
Seven plantation models, maintenance of previous years plantations
and Ancillary Activities like soil and moisture conservation
activities (SMC), fencing, overheads, micro-planning, awareness
raising, Entry Point Activities (EPA) etc.
 NAP is a centrally sponsored scheme which is implemented with
the fund sharing pattern of 60: 40 percent between Centre and
States wherein the sharing pattern for Northeastern and hilly States
is 90:10.
MORE ABOUT
 The conservation and development of forest primarily involves
three strategies – afforestation through natural/artificial
regeneration, protection and management.

 The ministry is implementing three major schemes for development

of forest areas i.e. National Afforestation Programme (NAP)
scheme, National Mission for a Green India (GIM) and Forest Fire
Prevention & Management Scheme (FFPM).

 NAP is being implemented for afforestation of degraded forest

lands.

 GIM aims at improving the quality of forest and increase in forest

cover besides cross sectoral activities on landscape basis.

 The FFPM takes care of forest fire prevention and management

measures.
CAMPA Act or Compensatory
Afforestation Fund Act
 BRIEF ABOUT THE
COMPENSATORY
AFFORESTATION FUND
ACT, 2016
TABLE
CAMPA Act EXPLAINED IN
SHORT
 COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION:
 COMPENSATORY AFFORESTATION:

• Compensatory afforestation means afforestation done as a

replacement for the diversion of forest land for non-forest use in
some other area.

 CAMPA Act 2016:

• For the effective management of compensatory afforestation

activities, the parliament enacted the The Compensatory
Afforestation Fund Act, 2016.
• It provides for the establishment of Compensatory Afforestation
funds under National and state level.
• Major part of the these funds shall be used to restock and improve
quality of degraded forests, which constitutes more than 40 % of
the total forest cover of the country
 CAMPA FUNDS ARE USED FOR:

• Artificial regeneration (plantations)

• Natural regeneration
• Catchment Area Treatment
• Soil and Moisture Conservation Works
• Protection of forests
• Forest related infrastructure development
• Wildlife protection

 It also provided for a constitution of an authority at national level

and at each of the State level (state CAMPAs) for administration of
the funds.
 BACKGROUND OF CAMPA:
• In the recent draft National Forest Policy 2018, the government
aims to bring 33% of the total geographical area under forest or
tree cover.
• A company diverting forest land must provide alternative land for
taking up compensatory afforestation.
• For the afforestation purpose, the company should pay for planting
new trees in the alternative land provided to the state.
• In 2001, the Supreme Court of India observed that collected funds
for afforestation were underutilised by the states and it ordered for
centrally pooling of funds under ad hoc Compensatory
Afforestation Fund.
• In 2009, states also had set up State CAMPAs that receive 10% of
funds from National CAMPA to use for afforestation and forest
conservation.
• However, in 2013, a CAG report identified that the funds continued
to be under utilised.
• Then the parliament enacted the the Compensatory Afforestation
Fund Act, 2016.
