CSS- National Afforestation Programme under Forest Development Agency

The National Afforestation programme, a Centrally Sponsored Scheme has been envisaged as a participatory approach to sustainable development of forests and has to be implemented through a two-tier system involving the Forest Development Agencies in collaboration with Joint Forest Management Committees. The idea was mooted by Ministry of Forest Ecology in order to avoid problems such as inordinate delay in the released funds reaching implementing agencies and multiplicity of schemes leading to lack of proper implementation. The decentralised institutional structure allows greater participation of the community both in planning and implementation of the afforestion programmes. The FDA initiates efforts to explain to the village communities about the objectives and scope of the project, mutual obligations and their usufructuary rights.

Forest Development Agency is constituted at the level of Territorial/Wildlife Forest Division and is a registered society under Societites Registration Act. The FDA actually can be contructed as a Federation of Forest Committees which integrates and co-ordinates the administration and activity of Village Forest Committees (VFCs) / Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMCs). During the X Five Year Plan, the NAP scheme is being implemented through the institution of FDA & JFMCs and will be under the fold of National Afforestation & Eco-Development Board, Ministry of Environment and Forests as 100% Central Sector / Centrally Sponsored Scheme.

The Government of India till March-2003 have sanctioned 30 project proposals (29 territorial divisions and 1 wildlife division) on FDA-NAP for the X Five Year Plan period. The physical and financial outlay for the period from 2002-03 to 2006-07 are as follows:

1.	Extent of Afforestation	-	43380 Ha
2.	Financial outlay	-	Rs. 8521 .00 lakhs
(including soil & moisture conservation, entry point activities, awareness raising, micro- planning, fencing, monitoring & evaluatioin and overheads)
