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 is 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 7718 Vana Samrakshana Samithis.
The percapita Forest area is 0.0842 Ha as against the all India average of 0.24 Ha.
The State is administered in 23 Districts which are further subdivided in 1128 Revenue
Mandals.
The State has a varied topography ranging from the hill ranges of Eastern Ghats,
Nallamalais and Seshachalam Hills to Deccan Plateau, River Valleys of Godavari and
Krishna, Mangrove Shores of Bay of Bengal and supports of variety of Eco types, rich in
their Bio-diversity and support a variety of Floral and Faunal forms.

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 Twelve circles (44) divisions are included. All the 44 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
availability of budget.
4.2.2. Afforestation measures:
The forestry policy stipulated to have at least 1/3rd of land area under "forest". This
target cannot be achieved unless massive efforts are made in afforestation outside the
reserve forests in non-forest lands namely private lands, community lands and other public
lands.
During last 5 years from 2005-06 to 2009-10, 13923.57 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.
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 3rd among all the states in tree cover outside the forest area
which is 122.76 Cubic Million 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.

The Forest Department implemented Shelterbelt Plantations Scheme for raising of
plantations over Government lands in the coast within 0.50 Km width from the coast line and
distribution of seedlings for planting in the private farm lands by the farmers within 5 Km
width from the coast line to create the tree cover in the coast to mitigate the fury of cyclonic
winds and reduce loss of property and human life. Out of the entire coastline available in
nine Coastal Districts of A.P., 70-80% coastline was covered with shelterbelt plantations.

Under Non-Plan, the department is implementing several schemes of which, budget
provision made is mainly towards Staff Salaries, Treasury Controlled Items and for
Maintenance of works.
Following are some of the important Non-Plan Schemes being implemented by the
Forest Department.
District Offices:
The major scheme under Non-Plan being implemented by the Department is
Departmental Extraction of Timber & Other Forest Produce. Besides this the funds under
the scheme are also being utilized under Social Forestry, Forest Protection, Research
Development, Working Plan and District Office also.
Departmental Extraction of Timber & Other Forest Produce (DET): The Departmental Extraction of Timber, Fuel and Pulp Wood, Faggot Wood, Long
Bamboo and Bamboo Industrial Cuts (BIC) from natural forests as well as Plantations were
introduced from the year 1976-77, after disbanding the existing Contractor System.
At present there is moratorium on extraction of timber from natural forests except for
bamboo from the overlapping bamboo forests. The major activity comprises of harvesting
timber and poles from matured plantations of Teak, Eucalyptus, Casuarinas etc. and long
bamboos and BIC from the bamboo coupes as per the prescriptions of working plan of the
respective Divisions. To implement this scheme the State Government makes budget
provision and fixes the physical and financial targets every year under the Head of Non-plan
schemes.
District Offices: The budget allotted for this scheme is utilized mostly for maintenance of the old
plantation and maintenance of works to be carried out in the existing forests.

36
Beedi Leaf Collection
The scheme of regulation of Trade in Beedi leaf was introduced in the State during
the year 1971, with the passing of A.P. Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) Act,
1971. The Departmental collection of beedi leaf was introduced from 1987. The A.P.Forest
Development Corporation Limited, Hyderabad has been appointed as an agent to the
Government. For 2009 Beedi leaf season the department has sold 307 units with a target of
5.464 lakh standard bags and achieved 4.360 lakh standard bags, which is 79.79% of the
target. There are 442 Beedi Leaf Units spread all over the entire Telangana Region of the
State. The Beedi Leaf is collected, from the Reserved Forest Areas and other Government
lands and is also purchased from the registered growers. The scheme is unique in its own
way, generating about 5.00 lakh mandays of employment to the tribal and other rural poor in
the lean agricultural season of the year i.e., during summer, within a short period of 50 days.
The Government have issued orders vide G.O.Ms.No.43, EFS&T (For.II) Dept.,
dt.10.4.2006 to the effect that from 2006 during beedi leaf season, the net profit generated
through beedi leaves distributed to the people who have actually collected the beedi leaves,
instead of showing the same against the Revenue head of the Department earlier.
A.P. Science Centre (APSC)
The Government in G.O.Ms.No.5, EFS&T (S&T) Dept, Dt:08-01-2077 have issued
orders placing the services of staff of A.P. Science Centre at the disposal of Prl. Chief
Conservator of Forests. The budget head of account of A.P. Science Centre was also
transferred to Forest Department and Prl. Chief Conservator of Forests has been authorized
to operate the said head of account and to draw and disburse the salaries and allowances to
the staff of A.P.Science Centre from 01.04.2007 onwards.
The budget provided for A.P. Science Centre under Non-Plan for the year 2009-10 is
Rs.60.06 lakhs and an amount of Rs.60.06 lakhs has been spent towards salaries and other
expenditure.
Revenue
Maintenance of Ecological balance, conservation of bio-diversity and healthy
environment are the main concerns of the Forest Department, rather than revenue earning.
However, the department derives revenue from Sale of Timber, Bamboo, Fuel wood and
Non-Timber Forest Produce (NTFP).
The Revenue Target for the year 2009-10 is fixed by the Government as Rs.103.715
Crores and the achievement is Rs.103.370 Crores. The detailed heads wise Revenue
Achievements are shown in the return No.21.

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 1975 and 1979 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 2,96,541 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
40
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. The paper mills use 10 to 15% of their raw material requirement
as bamboo and rest is from the hard wood pulp.
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. 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.
41
With the enforcement of Act from 1-10-1991 all the existing agreements for supply of
raw material stood abrogated. The selling prices for bamboo raw material are given below:
1990-91 Rs. 596 / MT (excluding moisture lose 10%)
1991-92 Rs. 662 / MT (excluding moisture lose 10%)

2009-10 -- (No rates were fixed as the paper mills did not came forward to take Bamboo Industrial Cuts)
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.
42
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 subsidized rates, which is around 50% of the
market rate. The Statement showing the number of Green Bamboo supplied to the Burood
Co–operative Societies are given below from 2005-06 to 2009-10.

6.3 – COLLECTION OF BEEDILEAFS, TARGETS & ACHIEVEMENTS:
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 in all 442 beedi leaf units spread over all
the 10 districts comprising of 23 Divisions of Telangana Region under 5 Territorial Circles
and the Field Director, Project Tiger, Srisailam. The 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
transportation 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 is 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 will be taken up by the
Purchasers only.

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, the
private contractors with the help of influential pattadars and local villagers started pilfering
and smuggling of beedi leaf from the Forests and Government lands which was 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 which was subsequently replaced
by Andhra Pradesh Minor Forest Produce (Regulation of Trade) Act, 1971 (Act No.4 of
1971). The Provisions of which were brought into operation with effect from 09-11-1970 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, its timely payment also ensured to the laborers who are mostly from
the weaker sections of the society and tribals.

FOREST RESEARCH
The National Forest Policy, 1988, emphasizes on scientific Forestry Research
towards attainment of policy objectives which aim at restoring ecological balance and
conservation of country‟s natural heritage by evolving socially acceptable, technically viable
and ecologically sustainable management practices. In order to achieve above objectives,
Andhra Pradesh Forest Department has recognized the potential and role of Forestry
Research and accordingly made financial allocations and build up research capabilities over
last two decades.
There are four Research Centers located at Hyderabad, Warangal, Tirupathi, and
Rajahmundry which attend to the Forestry problems in their respective jurisdiction. The
Research and Development Circle which created in 1971-72 with Head Quarters at
Hyderabad and presently headed by Addl.Prl.CCF rank Officer to ensure effective co-

The Forests in Chittoor, Kadapa and Sri Potti Sriramulu Nellore Districts falling in this
circles comprises of natural growth if Red sanders and Miscellaneous fuel.
Red sanders wood is highly valuable and confined to a limited track i.e., Kadapa,
Chittoor, Nellore and Kurnool districts in the entire world and it is used in the manufacture of
musical instruments lime Shamosins and Katos in Japan and its due is used in preparation
of certain medicines and coloring wines in Germany and other countries. It is listed in the
Red Book of IUCN Export of Red sanders in any form is banned.
66
It commands high value in the international market, though locally the value is not so
high.
Therefore unscrupulous people have started indulging in the illicit trade in Red
sanders. As the operation is highly clandestine and smugglers use force when confronted
with the protective staff who‟s unarmed and usually move in pairs or the most in a small
group. Protection of Red sanders against fellings & illicit transport has become a difficult
task.
10.5.3 WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT CIRCLE ELURU:

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.
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.
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 espacement. In this model Soil and Moisture Conservation works such as CCTs,
PTs, sunken gully pits etc., will be taken up.
76
Model – II : Planting will be taken up in trench-cum pit method. Staggered trenches at 5mX5m
espacement 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.
An area of 12688 Ha is planted upto March‟2010 under Bio-diesel XII incurring an
expenditure of Rs. 2363.13 Lakhs. Following are the district wise Physical & Financial

Mahatma Gandhi Vana Nursery Programme:
It is proposed by the Rural Development Department to take up large number of
decentralized village nurseries under MGNREGS, through Forest Department all over the
State for raising good quality plant material for the next years planting season. The objective
of these Mahatma Gandhi Grameena Vana (MGVN) Nurseries would be to provide wage
employment to the needy wage seekers through nursery works and also to produce good
quality seedlings of tree species which are preferred by the people and which are suitable to
the agro climatic conditions of the district concerned. About 3000 nurseries are proposed to
be raised in the state at the rate of 4 nurseries in each Mandal by the Forest Department
under MGNREGS. These nurseries are proposed to be located in a central place for a
cluster of 4-5 Grama Panchayats. About 17000 seedlings per Grama Panchayat per year
will be raised each year for next 3 years starting from 2010-11. Thus, in each Mahatma
Gandhi Grameena Vana (MGVN) Nursery, about 70000 to 80000 plants of forest species will
be raised each year for next 3 years. It is planned to raise 31.06 Crore seedlings under this
programme for planting during 2011 season.

11.10 Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority
(CAMPA):
Andhra Pradesh State having Forest Cover 23% of Geographical area of the country,
forests in India comprise of a number of diverse forest types and reserved areas designated
as National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries.
Many development and industrial projects such as erection of dams, mining,
construction of industries or roads require diversion of forest land. Any project proponent,
government or private must apply for forest clearance to the Ministry of Environment and
Forests (MoEF), before this conversion of land can take place.
This proposal for conversion of forest land is to be submitted via the Forest
Department of the State Government in question, and is heard by a Forest Advisory
Committee, which then grants, or rejects, the clearance that is sought. If clearances are
given, then compensation for the lost forest land is also to be decided by the ministry and the
regulators. These amounts received towards Compensatory Afforestation (CA), Net Present
Value (NPV), etc., are being deposited with Government of India and Compensatory
Afforestation programmes being implemented in various states with each state having its
own prescribed activities.
Due to certain discrepancies in the implementation of Compensatory Afforestation,
some NGO‟s had approached the Hon‟ble Supreme Court for relief. The Hon‟ble Supreme
Court in I.A. No.2143 in W.P.(C) No.202/95 on 10th July 2009 issued orders that there will be
a Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) with a
National Advisory Council under the chairmanship of the Union Ministry of Environment &
Forests (MoEF) for monitoring, technical assistance and evaluation of Compensatory
Afforestation activities in the country.
Aims and Objectives of State CAMPA:
State CAMPA shall seek to promote:
a. Conservation, protection, regeneration and management of existing natural forests,
b. Conservation, protection and management of wildlife and its habitat within and
outside protected areas including the consolidation of the protected areas,
c. Compensatory Afforestation,
d. Environmental services, which include:-
i. Provision of Goods such as wood, non-timber forest products, fuel, fodder and
water, and provision of services such as grazing, tourism, wildlife protection and
life support.
ii. Regulating Services such as climate regulation, disease control, flood
moderation, detoxification, carbon sequestration and health of soils, air and water
regimes, (forest range level). In short, the department would be modernized to
protect and regenerate the forests and wildlife habitat.
iii. Non-material benefits obtained from ecosystems, spiritual, recreational,
aesthetic, inspirational, educational and symbolic, and
iv. Supporting such other services necessary for the production of ecosystem
services, biodiversity, nutrient cycling and primary production, Research, training
and capacity building.
85
In sum, the prime task of State CAMPA would be regenerating natural forests and
building up the institution engaged in this task in the State Forest Department.
The functions of State CAMPA are:-
i. Funding, overseeing and promoting Compensatory Afforestation done in lieu of
diversion of forest land for non-forestry use under the Forest (Conservation) Act,
1980.
ii. Overseeing forest and wildlife conservation and protection works within forest
areas undertaken and financed under the programme.
iii. Maintaining a separate account in respect of the funds received from
conservation and protection of Protected Areas.
