EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
I. INTRODUCTION
The dry deciduous and scrub forests of the division extending over 1,12,555 hectares are
subject to intense anthropogenic pressure to accommodate the growing needs of the
population. The forests are highly degraded, further regressing to even drier types which is a
great ecological concern. It is imperative that we evolved sound management strategy on the
principle of “sustainable use”. The primary objective is environmental and ecological
improvement. Forest have to be managed with minimal alteration in the natural character and
composition of the crop with a strong stake holder interest. The plan is drawn up keeping
these issues in mind.
a) Vision statement – Improvement of forest and tree cover. Improved conservation

status and ecological services.
b) Goals and objectives of management –
 Protection, conservation and consolidation of forests and wildlife of Tumkur

forest division.
 Qualitative and quantitative enhancement of forest cover in the

division.
 Sustainable management of forests and forest resources.
 Delivery of ecological services.
c) SWOT analysis
Strengths –
- Substantial forest area under the control of the Forest Department.
- Initiative of the Forest Department to restore biodiversity, rejuvenate
degraded forests and to increase tree cover.
- Support extended under Central and State schemes.
- Infrastructural facilities to produce quality planting material in the
nurseries.
- Implementation of JFM.
- Committed and motivated staff.
Weakness –
- Discontinuous forest blocks.
- Erratic rainfall.
- Inadequate fund flow.
- Fifty five vacant posts at the field level.
i
Opportunities –
- Abundant scope for rejuvenating degraded forests.
- Huge scope for mixed plantations with a multi-tier canopy.
- Protection and development of forests through JFM
- Environment related awareness among the people.
- Demand for timber, fuel and pulpwood by the rural population as well
as by the industries.
- Providing medicinal resources
- Ecological services.
Threats –
- Fragmentation of forest blocks.
- Repeated forest fires.
- Anthropogenic pressures on forest land in the form of encroachment,
grazing, destructive collection of NTFPs and MAPs.
d) Expected outcome – Qualitative and quantitative enhancement of the forest cover

in the division.
e) Abstract of plan prescriptions.
Chapter Para No./Sub Prescribed activity

No. Para No.
Part-II 2.2.1 - 2.9.1 Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Working
Chapter-2 Circle is constituted. All forest areas irrespective of
their legal status barring the areas brought under
Improvement Working Circle and Plantation
Working Circle are brought under Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Working Circle.
Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Working
Circle covers about 82.8% of the forest area
extending over 93,195.94 hectares. In view of the
poor growing stock no harvesting will be done in
natural forests. The forests will be protected from
grazing, fire and illicit cutting. Consolidation of
forest boundaries and eviction of encroachment
will receive priority. Activities involving
disturbance to forest floor, canopy cover and
formation of new roads is prohibited.
Part-II 3.1.1 - 3.9.2 Improvement Working Circle is constituted. The
Chapter-3 treatment package revolves around Assisted natural
regeneration (ANR) and eco-restoration models.
The working circle extends over 10,000 hectares
accounting for about 8.8% of the forest area
forming the catchment of Krishna and Cauvery
rivers. The general character of vegetation, special
objectives are discussed. Ten thousand hectares
will be intensively treated by promoting natural
regeneration and Assisted Natural Regeneration
ii
(ANR). Ten improvement series are constituted.
Species compatible with the surrounding vegetation
will be planted ensuring a multi tier canopy. NTFP
yielding species will also be planted. Certain
associated regulations and measures are prescribed.
Soil conservation measures will be an integral
component of the treatment. To ensure effective
control over the implementation of prescriptions
and suggestions control forms are prescribed.
Part-II Para 4.1.1 - Plantation Working Circle is constituted. It
Chapter-4 4.19.3 accounts for 8.24 % of the recorded forest area and
extends over 9359.06 hectares. It is constituted so
as to harvest 4559.06 hectares of certain Eucalyptus
and mixed fuel wood plantations. Silvicultural
system would be clear felling followed by coppice
management or replanting. The rotation age for
Eucalyptus is fixed at 12 years. Ten harvesting
series are constituted. Yield is regulated by area.
The average yield across different age groups is 11
m3 per hectare. Table of felling and method of
felling are prescribed. About 4800 hectares would
be put to productive use by raising fuel and small
timber plantations. The silvicultural system is
artificial regeneration. Annual regeneration areas
are scheduled. Ten regeneration series are
constituted. Planting density, core species and
planting pattern are prescribed. Certain other
associated regulations and measures are also
prescribed. Soil and moisture conservation works
will be an integral component of the treatment. To
ensure effective control over the implementation of
prescriptions and suggestions control forms are
prescribed.
Part-II Para 5.1.1 - NTFP Working Circle is constituted. It is an
Chapter-5 5.12.3 overlapping Working Circle. Tamarind, Maradi,
Seethaphal and Alale are the important NTFPs
whose utilization is regulated. Wherever Village
Forest Committees (VFCs) are formed each VFC
will be an independent lease unit. Till such time the
VFCs are formed, Range would be an independent
lease unit. Collection of Tupra leaves and tanning
barks is suspended during the plan period.
Destructive harvesting method is prohibited.
Utilization schedule is prescribed. About 1000
hectares would be brought under NTFP plantations.
The silvicultural system is artificial regeneration
with support irrigation if needed. Important NTFP
species like Hunse, Nelli, Bevu, Maradi and Alale
will be planted. Nine regeneration series are
constituted. Certain associated regulations and
iii
measures are prescribed. Regulations pertaining to
medicinal and aromatic plants are also prescribed.
A treatment package for MPCA at
Devarayanadurga is prescribed. To ensure effective
control over the implementation of prescriptions
Part-II Para 6.1.1 - JFM Working Circle is constituted. It is an
Chapter-6 6.8.1 overlapping Working Circle extending over the
entire recorded area of the division. At present only
20,633.48 hectares is under JFM. The process of
JFPM needs to be further strengthened by bringing
more forest area under its fold. The Working Plan
prescriptions made in Protection and Improvement
Working Circle as well as the Plantation Working
Circle shall mutatis-mutandis apply in matters
related to harvest and regeneration. It is suggested
to bring about 60,000 hectares under JFM during
the plan period by reassigning the areas among the
existing VFCs and by constituting about 100 new
VFCs. The existing 213 VFCs need to be revived.
Methodology of micro planning is suggested. To
ensure effective control over the implementation of
prescriptions and suggestions control forms are
prescribed.
Part-II Para 7.1.1 - Matters not dealt under the respective Working
Chapter-7 7.14.2 Circles are dealt under “miscellaneous
regulations”. Miscellaneous regulations are to be
construed as “miscellaneous” only in content and
its importance should not be undermined.
Regulations pertaining to forest fire management,
invasive species and weed management,
infrastructure development and maintenance,
wildlife management, eco-tourism, sandalwood,
upkeep of boundaries, forest settlement and
updation of forest land records, grazing, removing
grass and litter collection, petty felling and
extractions and preservation plots are prescribed.
Part-II Para 8.1.1 - To ensure continuity of management and to
Chapter-8 8.1.12 exercise effective control over the implementation
of prescriptions and suggestions, various control
forms are prescribed. Any deviation by over 20%
would constitute a major deviation as per the
National Working Plan Code-2014. Deviation
statement shall be filed annually. Methodology for
obtaining sanction for any possible deviations is
given.
Part-II Para 9.1.1 - The financial requirement for various activities
Chapter-9 9.2.1 envisaged in this plan is tentatively forecast at Rs.
9841.46 lakhs. Working Circle-wise statement of
annual budget estimates are provided. The
iv
Improvement Working Circle accounts for nearly
42% of the probable expenditure followed by
Plantation Working Circle (28%), Miscellaneous
regulations (14%), JFM Working Circle (6%),
Protection and Biodiversity Working Circle (5%)
and NTFP Working Circle (5%). The anticipated
revenue is about 521.50 lakhs that would be
generated by sale of timber, pulpwood, fuel wood
and NTFPs.

SUMMARY OF FACTS ON WHICH PROPOSALS ARE MADE
CHAPTER-1
1. THE TRACT DEALT WITH
1.1 Name and situation
1.1.1 This working plan shall be called the Working Plan for Tumkur Forest Division and
deals with all the forests included in the division. The division is located in the south-eastern
sector of the State of Karnataka and forms a part of the southern portion of the Deccan
peninsula. At its extremes, it is situated between longitudinal parallels of 76020'and 77031'
east of Greenwich and latitudinal parallels 12045' and 14020' north of Equator.
1.1.2 The boundary of the forest division is co-terminus with that of Tumkur revenue
district. It is elongated from north to south. The extreme length of the division from north to
south is 164 kms and its greatest breadth from east to west is 107 kms. Pavagada, one of its
ranges is surrounded by Ananthapur district of Andhra Pradesh and is connected with
Chitradurga division at only one point by a narrow strip of land on the north-west. The forest
division shares its borders with Chitradurga forest division on the north, Ananthapur forest
division on the north-east, Chikkaballapur forest division and Bangalore rural forest
divisions on the east, Ramanagaram and Mandya forest division on the south and Hassan
forest division on the west.
1.1.3 The geographical area of the district and consequently of the division is 10598
sq.kms and accounts for 5.52% of the State’s geographical area. The recorded forest area of
the district is 112555.00 hectares and accounts for 10.62% of its geographical area. The
district comprises of 2708 villages distributed among 321 grampanchayaths of which 2574
villages are inhabited and 134 villages are uninhabited. There are ten towns and urban
agglomerations.
1.1.4 General information of the district is provided in Appendix-1.
1.2 Configuration of the ground
1.2.1 The ten taluks of the district is spread over in the Central Dry Zone, Eastern Dry
Zone and the Southern Dry Agroclimatic Zones. (Karnataka Land Use Board).

1.2.2 Geographically the division is landlocked. The landscape is generally an open tract
of undulating plains interspersed with a sprinkling of hills except in the south of Kunigal
taluk, where the country is wooded and hilly. To the east of Tumkur and to the north of
Devarayanadurga, the region is hilly intersected by cultivated valleys. The open parts of the
district maintain a generally even level above the sea except Sira and Pavagada which are
considerably lower than the rest. The hills of Tumkur district which form the continuation of
the eastern boundary of the Krishna river system in Karnataka consist of two main ranges
running more or less parallel to each other. The first one on the eastern part of the district is
made up of granites and passes through Pavagada, Madhugiri, Koratagere and northern part
of Tumkur taluk. The second one mainly composed of schistose rocks passes through the
western part of the district in Chikkanayakanahalli, Sira and Gubbi taluks. Apart from this
there is another cluster of hills covering the middle and southern part of Kunigal taluk. The
general elevation of the table land is 825 meters above MSL. The hills with their bare,
picturesque tops rise at times abruptly and form an uneven table land. Some of the
undulating portions have been subjected to weathering and erosion resulting in the formation
of gullies.

1.2.4 The higher reaches are often covered with low thorny shrub jungle. The low lying
grounds are dotted with a series of tanks of varying sizes. The northern portion forms the
upper basin of the Suvarnamukhi. The eastern portion forms the upper basin of North
Pinakini with Jayamangali and Doddahalla being the main rivulets. The southern portion
forms the basin of river Shimsha. Towards the east and the northeast, the land is broken and
rugged with chains of hills and valleys intersected by sandy streams. Towards the northwest,
the hills are closer and are covered with comparatively better growth of vegetation.

1.3 Geology, rock and soil
1.3.1 Geology: The important geological rock formations encountered in the division are
mainly of Archaean complex composed of crystalline schists, granitic gneisses and the newer
granites. The crystalline schists of the district form the southern extension of the well defined
Chitradurga schists belt of the Dharwad System. Apart from the main central schist belt
existing around Chikkanayakanahalli, there are many patches of schists scattered in the
gneissic complex. The biggest of these schist patches are found to the west of Huliyurdurga.
The other two schist patches occur near Tippasandra in Kunigal taluk and near Bidaloti in
Koratagere taluk.
1.3.2 Rock: Three main types of rock formations are encountered viz., schistose formations,
granitic gneisses and the newer granites. The schistose formations are intensely altered and
new minerals like diopside, hyperthene, garnet, sillimanite and corundum have developed
giving rise to several interesting rock types. All these rock types are considered to be highly
metamorphosed phases of impure argillite sediments preserved here and there as remnants of
the original schists in the gneissic complex. Schistose formation occurs near
Chikkanayakanahalli, Huliyurdurga, Kunigal and Koratagere. The schistose formations are
surrounded by the gneissic complex. The major portion of the district is covered by this
complex of granitic gneisses which are classed under a separate group named the “peninsular
gneiss”. The younger granites (Closepet granites) constitute a well defined narrow range of
hills that run north and south in the eastern portion of the district.
1.3.3 Soil: The soil of the district is poor in quality. The main soil types are red, sandy,
loam, reddish brown and black cotton soils. The soil is red and gravelly in higher slopes with
little organic matter. Loam mixed with sand or clay occurs in the valleys and is a derivative
of finer particles of weathered rocks washed down and deposited during the rains. Soil pH is
normal in Chikkanayakanahalli, Madhugiri, Sira and Tiptur whereas, it is acidic in other
taluks. The soluble salt content is normal in all the taluks and the nitrogen content is low in
all the taluks. The available P2O5 content is low in Koratagere, Kunigal, Sira, Tumkur and
Turuvekere whereas, it is medium in other taluks.
4
5
1.3.4 Mineral resources: The district is endowed with rich deposits of minerals of economic
importance like iron, gold, manganese, corundum, quartz etc. High grade haematite occurs at
the trijunction of Tiptur, Chikkanayakanahalli and Gubbi taluks. Till recently gold was being
mined at Bellara. Prospecting work conducted at Ajjanahalli, north-north-east of Bellara has
disclosed a large ore body at a depth of 100-300 feet. Manganese is a mineral of importance
next to iron and gold. Manganese mines are located on the marginal portion of the schists
belt. Jaanehar, Honnebagi, Doregudda, Karekurchi, Shivasandra and Kondli are the localities
where workable deposits of manganese occur. Economically important deposits of quartz
occur in Tiptur, Koratagere and Gubbi taluks. Red, grey and porphyritic types of granites are
quarried in the district. Some of them are of exquisite quality and are used as ornamental
stones.
1.4 Climatic parameters
1.4.1 Rainfall: The average annual rainfall is 687.9mm (27.08”), with an average of 46 rainy
days. The rainfall and its distribution pattern vary considerably and the bulk of the rain in
some years is received during the southwest monsoon and in some years during the northeast
monsoon. The breaks between rains are sometimes prolonged. The rainfall increases from the
north to the south generally and in the western part of the district from the west to the east.
Kunigal, Gubbi, Tumkur and Koratagere taluks receive good rains from both the monsoons
whereas, the rest of the taluks receive rains predominantly from northeast monsoon.
Occasional thunderstorms occur during February and March and these become more frequent
during April, May and the early part of June. Even during the monsoon, rain is sometimes
associated with thunder. Thunderstorms increase in frequency again in September and
October.

1.4.3 Temperature: The climate of the district with the exception of Pavagada taluk on the
north is generally agreeable and is free from extremes. Pavagada is comparatively hotter.
April is the hottest month registering a maximum day temperature of 410C. December is the
coldest month, when the temperature dips to 90C on certain days. The year may be divided
into four seasons. The dry season, with clear bright weather is from December to February.
The period from March to May constitute the hot season, the southwest monsoon season is
from June to September. October and November constitute the post monsoon season.
1.4.4 Relative humidity: Relative humidity is high during the southwest monsoon season
and is generally moderate in rest of the year. The humidity in the summer afternoons is
comparatively lower.
1.4.5 Drought and famine: The region is drought prone and has been severely afflicted by
famine in the past. Since the great famine of 1877-78, famines are frequent in the district. The
distress was acute during 1891-92, 1908-09 and 1923-24. The northeast monsoon is a
veritable gamble and one cannot be sure of its onset. If the winter rains fail, which is often the
case in the district, the tanks get depleted. In 1904-05, the situation became critical because of
failure of rains and this continued even in 1905-06 as the southwest monsoon also failed. The
northeast monsoon in the succeeding year was most disappointing. The distress in 1908-09
was more acute than in 1891-92 as it extended over a very large area. The drought was
particularly severe in Kunigal, Gubbi, Turuvekere, Tiptur and Pavagada taluks. Drought
conditions are quite common especially in the Madhugiri subdivision. However, in recent
years, the immense irrigational facility provided by the Nethravathi project has contributed in
alleviating the problem to some extent.

CHAPTER- 2
2. MAINTENANCE-INCREASE IN THE EXTENT OF FOREST AND TREE COVER
2.1 Area of forests under different legal classes
2.1.1 Legal position: The forests are classified as notified forests and deemed forests.
Reserve forests, [declared under the provisions of section 17 of Karnataka Forests Act, 1963,
section 9 of Mysore Forest Regulation (IX of 1900)]. Protected forests, (declared under the
provisions of section 35 of Karnataka Forest Act, 1963) Village forests [declared under the
provisions of section 29 of Karnataka Forest Act, 1963 and section 31 of Mysore Forest
Regulation (XI of 1900)] and blocks that are notified under section 4 of the Karnataka
Forest Act, 1963 are classified as notified forests. The remaining forest blocks that are not
legally notified at present under any prevailing law are categorized under deemed forests.
Deemed forests include other government land in the control of the forest department.
2.1.2 Lands classified as forests constitute 10.62% of the geographical area of the district.
Forests are distributed in 420 fragmented blocks that lie scattered in isolated patches. The
divisional area statement comprising the range wise forest area is given in Table-2.

Note:1.Figures in parenthesis indicate the number of blocks.
2.Particulars of distribution of forests blocks are given in Appendix 3,4,5,6 and 7.
2.1.3 On comparison with table-1 para 34 of Sri. Range Gowda‟s plan it is seen that there is a
marginal increase of 0.75% in the total extent of forest area (1,12,555.00-1,11,711.95=843.05
Ha). The extent of notified forests has gone down by 3716.01 Ha [3.95%]. This is attributed to
the inclusion of areas that were disforested for various non forestry purposes in the earlier plan.
The extent of unclassed forests has gone up by 4559.06 Ha [25.78%]. This is due to erroneous
classification in the original plan.

2.1.4 The areas included as “Deemed forests” (22,239.03 ha) are the forests blocks that figure
in the report of Revised Expert Committee – 1. The Revised Expert Committee-1 has categorized
10
forests into “Notified forests” and “Deemed forests”. The Government of Karnataka has
decided to have a relook on the report of Revised Expert Committee-1 since some of the
“Statutory forests” were categorized as “Deemed forests” and that the classification is not
based on a well defined pre-determined field criteria that can be applied and verified in the field
has resulted in subjective classification of areas into “Deemed forests”.
2.1.5 In this context the State Government, Vide Go. No. FEE 185 FAF 2011, Bangalore, dated
15-05-2014 has constituted Committees at the District level, Divisional level and State level to
verify and review the areas included as “Deemed forests” in the report of the Revised Expert
Committee-I and to further classify into a) statutory forests b) recorded as „forests‟ in
Government records and c) areas which are „forests‟ as per dictionary definition based on
field verification. The Government has laid out certain criteria and methodology to identify the
„forests‟ other than „notified forests‟.
2.1.6 The exact extent of such Deemed forests will only be known after the acceptance of the
Government based on the recommendations of the Committees. It is quite possible that some of
the areas listed at Appendix-7 might be deleted and some new areas added.
2.1.7 Progress of Forest settlement: It could be observed from Table-2 that as many as 36
blocks spread over 10,636.32 hectares are notified under section 4 of the Karnataka Forest Act,
1963, and are being settled. Though notifications under section 4 were issued long back the
progress in settlement is rather slow. Such areas are not consolidated adequately under the
misconception that the areas are not forests till the process of settlement is over. Strangely some
of the survey number that are already constituted as reserve forests are again notified under
section-4 of KFA, 1963 erroneously. This aspect has to be looked into during forest settlement.
2.1.8 Out of 22239.03 hectares of deemed forests spread over 279 blocks, 3854.95 hectares (26
cases) have been demarcated and proposals were submitted to notify under section 4 of the KFA,
1963. However, the Government has returned all the proposals for re-verification as to the
present status of the land. It is likely that these areas will also be verified and reviewed by the
Committees constituted to identify the „forests‟ (para 2.1.4).
2.1.9 The particulars of proposals sent under section-4 of the KFA, 1963 that were subsequently
returned from the government are given in Table-4.

2.1.10 Documentation of forest land and status of mutation: Forest land documentation is not
properly done and updated. The area statement in the working plan under revision (2001-02 to
12
2010-11) and that submitted to the Expert Committee-I are at variance. In certain forests for
example Halkurike RF, Yagachihalli RF and Chikkasandra RF portions have been released to the
farmers but the exact locations of these releases are not known. Few unrecorded encroachments
are also noticed. However, effort has been made to reconcile the area statement with reference to
“C” statements, status of mutation etc and the consolidated particulars are incorporated in this
working plan.
2.1.11 The process of effecting relevant changes in the basic records of survey and settlement
are somewhat protracted and time consuming. A systematic procedure is lacking in making
entries in the Record of rights, Tenancy and Crop inspection (RTC) so as to remove any
ambiguity regarding the status and position of forest land. However, the process of mutation of
forest land in revenue records is in progress. So far 71,496.60 (63.51%) hectares of forestland
has been mutated.
2.1.12 Particulars pertaining to the progress of mutation is given in Appendix-8.
2.2 Forest area under different working circles/management plan
2.2.1 An Extent of 1,11,711.95 hectares(100%) was brought under the working plan between
2001 and 2011 (Table-1 of the previous plan) whereas 1,12,555 hectares is brought under the
current working plan as per Table-5.

2.3 Percentage of forests with secured boundaries
2.3.1 State of boundaries: Earlier forest boundaries were demarcated by erecting cairns. By
and large, the maintenance of forest boundaries is not satisfactory. As a result most of the
demarcation lines have been obliterated. Some of the cairns have collapsed rendering their
present identification difficult. They need to be re-erected in places. In some of the forests the
demarcation lines are indistinguishable owing to rank growth of weeds like Lantana and
Pterelobium bushes which need to be cleared. Since the forest blocks are scattered, the extent of
boundaries to be maintained is very large. Lapses in the maintenance of boundaries coupled with
an insatiable greed for land among the villagers residing near the forests have resulted in petty to
large scale encroachments. To prevent further encroachment it is necessary to take up resurvey
and demarcation in order to re-erect the collapsed stones-cairns and to replace the missing
numbers. The inter-state boundary passing through the forests in Pavagada and Sira ranges need
to be demarcated clearly since there is some ambiguity.
2.3.2 The approximate length of forest boundaries that are to be maintained is 1981.31 kms.
Range-wise particulars are given in Table-6.

2.3.4 A thorough verification and re-survey of most of the forests is overdue. All the105 notified
forest blocks (79,679.65ha) need to be re-surveyed and demarcated.Boundary stones/Cairns need
to be created at every corner point of the forest blocks and at 100 meters interval all along the
boundary. It is estimated that about 14768 boundary stones/Cairns need to be created after
surveying the forest blocks. Particulars of forest blocks that are to be re-surveyed and the
approximate requirement of boundary stones/Cairns are given in Table-8.

2.3.5 The Unclassed forests (22239.03 ha) have to be surveyed and demarcated to initiate action
to accord legal status, after the Committee constituted by the Government completes the task of
identification of “Deemed forests” ( para 2.1.4, 2.1.5 and 2.1.6).
2.3.6 Geo-spatial maps: Geo-spatial database for Tumkur forest division using GIS has been
generated by the Karnataka State Remote Sensing Applications Centre, Bangalore
(KSRSAC). Maps and statistical data are published in the forest atlas of Tumkur Division-2006.
GIS data browser –VASANTHA (Vanasampanna Mula Tharangini) has been customized to the
needs of the forest department. The utility of this atlas is listed below.
 The atlas provides handy and easy to use information pertaining to the
natural resources at the lowest unit of administration, the beat.
 The atlas provides information on the existing status of forest resources

which would serve as a base line data.
 The atlas provides a fair indication of the areas of jurisdiction falling under
various administrative units.

As against the diversion of 209.56 hectares of forest land for non-forestry purposes 32.17
hectares of non-forest land has been transferred.
2.4.7 Details of forestland diverted for various non-forestry purposes are given in Appendix-10.
2.4.8 Encroachment: Forests are considered dispensable in favor of agriculture and there is a
tendency to encroach upon forestland wherever some form of cultivation is possible. Lack of
proper boundary maintenance, inspection and upkeep of records has prompted people to
encroach upon forestland. Peoples‟ response to the problem of prevention and eviction of
encroachment is more or less cold and hostile often resulting in petty to serious skirmishes.
Forestland extending over 322.68 hectares was encroached upon prior to 27-04-1978 by 539
families. The Government of Karnataka has regularized 69.73 hectares (105 families). The
remaining 252.95 hectares (434 families) is liable for eviction. Similarly, 2510.90 hectares (2074
cases) were encroached after 27-04-1978, of which 1938.79 hectares (1555 cases) has been
evicted so far. Proceedings have to be initiated to evict the remaining 572.11 hectares (519
cases).
2.4.9 Particulars of encroachment and the status of eviction is given in Appendix -11 and 12.
2.5 Threats to the forest
2.5.1 Injuries to which the forest is liable: Most of the injuries to which the forests are
subjected to are perpetrated by man. Injuries due to fire, grazing and illicit removals are
attributed to anthropogenic causes. Other injuries are related to wind, drought and damages by
parasites, fungi, insects and wild animals. The nature of injury and the susceptibility of the
forests are described in brief in Chapter-4.
2.6 Distribution of different forest types
2.6.1 As per the revised classification of “Indian Forest types” by Sir Harry G. Champion and
SK Seth, the forests of the division can be broadly classified under two subgroups with their
associated sub-types namely.
26
Forest types of Tumkur Forest Division
1. Sub group 5A 2. Sub group 6A

Southern tropical dry deciduous forests. Southern tropical thorn forests
Type 5AC3- Southern dry mixed Type 6A/DS1- Southern thorn scrub.
deciduous forest.
Type 5DS1- Dry deciduous
Scrub.
Type 5E4- Hardwickia forest.
2.7 Tree cover outside forest area (TOF)
2.7.1 Tree cover outside forest area (TOF) refers to all trees growing outside recorded forest
areas. Specific data pertaining to TOF for Tumkur forest division is not available. However, TOF
for the State of Karnataka has been estimated using TOF inventory data over a period of six
years from 2004-10. For the purpose of estimation, nine districts including Tumkur were
inventoried. As per the estimation the estimated tree cover in the State is 5733 km2. Reducing
these figures prorata to the geographical area of the district, works out to approximately 316.76
km2 (2.98%). However, trees growing in rural areas and trees in urban areas are not precisely
mapped.
2.7.2 Potential for extension of forestry outside forests: Notwithstanding the area under
cultivation (Agriculture, horticulture and allied activities) about 89.38% of the total area of the
district outside the recorded forests (para 2.4.1) is not having adequate tree cover. Opening up
avenues for large scale tree planting by promoting agro forestry, planting in community land, by
the roadsides, etc., such land not available for cultivation is about 1,51,981 hectares (14.27%of
GA). In addition, about 1,44,048 hectares (13.52% of GA) of fallow land that can be put under
tree cover is available as per the “Land Use data, Ministry of Water Resources”.
27
2.8 Shifting cultivation (Jhumming)
2.8.1 Jhumming: Jhumming in its traditional sense is not in practice in the district. However,
the demand and greed for land has rendered the forests vulnerable on account of petty
encroachments. Forests are considered dispensable in favor of agriculture and there is a tendency
to encroach upon forestland wherever some form of cultivation is possible. However, with the
launching of the various poverty alleviation and social reform programmes by the Government,
the tendency to encroach upon forestland is somewhat reduced.
2.8.2 No other specific land tenure system, as is prevalent in Kodagu and Malnad, is in practice.

3. MAINTAINANCE, CONSERVATION AND ENHANCEMENT OF BIODIVERSITY
3.1 Forest composition and distribution
3.1.1 The forests of the division, barring some pockets of Devarayanadurga RF, Kolikal RF and
Madhugiri RF do not present a complex diversity either in distribution or in composition. The
forests are mostly open with a canopy density of less than 25% and consist of mixed species
varying from the dry deciduous to thorny bushes. Most of the area reported as forest does not
have adequate vegetative cover except for a few gangling Eucalyptus trees. Frequent forest fire
has resulted in the destruction of the undergrowth. By and large, the forests comprise of crooked,
malformed trees and are gradually invaded by grass and weeds.
3.1.2 Composition: A general survey of the forests indicated that Acacia chundra (Thared),
Anogeissus latifolia (Dindiga), Albizia amara (Thugli), Hardwickia binata (Kamara) and
Stereospermum personatum (Uded) are the major species in terms of distribution. Sandal, the
pride of Karnataka grows naturally almost in all the ranges though its growth and distribution is
rather sparse and not uniform. Its presence is conspicuous in Marashettyhalli RF of Gubbi Range
and Kamalapur RF D of Kunigal Range. Bamboo occurs as an understory in the dry deciduous
forests of Devarayanadurga of Tumkur Range. Shorea talura occurs in several patches where
soil is clayey. Teak, possibly introduced is also found in patches. Buchnania angustifolia is
found in abundance in the folds of the hills of Bukkapatna RF. The common shrubs are Cassia
auriculata, Dodonea viscosa, Lantana camara and Pterelobium bushes.
3.1.3 Forests around Devarayanadurga and Siddarabetta are a potential source of medicinal
plants. Many eternal springs locally termed “Theerthas” originate in the hills around
Devarayandurga. The important ones are Ramatheertha, Dhanushtheertha, Parasharatheertha etc.,
invaluable medicinal plants are found in the wild around these springs and the mineral springs
are accredited with manifold healing virtues.
3.1.4 The flora of Devarayanadurga was surveyed and documented in 1965 by RS Rao and AR
Shastry who enumerated 209 species belonging to 59 families. Yoganarashimhan et.al (1989)
reported 143 medicinal plants from the whole of Tumkur district. J.N. Prasad et.al (1994)
conducted a status survey report and has documented about 110 species belonging to 46 families.
29
Around Devarayanadurga there are areas dominated by species like Acacia chundra, Acacia
polycantha, Alangium lamarkii, Anogeissus latifolia, Chloroxylon swietenia, Shorea talura,
Strychnos potatorum and Terminalia paniculata, grass species like Cymbopogon, Themeda,
Apluda, Aristida etc. grow profusely on the forest floor.
3.1.5 Similarly, Siddarabetta in Kolikal reserve forest is known to have varied types of
topographical features supporting different types of micro-climatic zones from the foothills to the
peak comprising different flora. The hill range is also unique in having some of the evergreen
species like Mangifera indica, Memecylon umbellatum, Vatteria indica, Vitex altissima, Careya
arborea, Litsea deccanensis, Dipterocarpus indicus, Symplocus racemosa etc. It is feared that
many valuable medicinal flora have been lost due to over exploitation and are on the verge of
extinction. A comprehensive list showing the flora of Tumkur forest division is given in
Appendix-13.
3.1.6 Distribution: The scanty rainfall and the varied edaphic and biotic factors have
influenced the formation of various forest types. The forests can be presumed to have reached the
climatic climax of the region, the dry deciduous forests, that are in a stage of further regression
into various stages of degradation typical of the maidan tracts.
3.1.7 The various forest types referred to in ( Chapter-2, para 2.6.1, the effect of ecology, soil
and other climatic parameters on the composition and distribution is given in the ensuing
paragraphs.
3.1.8 Type-5A/C3 (Southern dry mixed deciduous forest): The composition of the crop is
determined by altitude, rainfall, edaphic and biotic factors. As one moves eastward and
northward, it is seen that this type falls in quality due to poor conditions of growth. Floristically,
the upper canopy is uneven and not dense. The canopy is not well defined and is formed by
mostly deciduous species. In certain moist and favorable pockets of Devarayandurga RF, Kolikal
RF, Thimmalapura RF and Huliyurdurga RF the lower canopy is well defined and tends to be
evergreen. Areas that get burnt annually contain almost pure patches of Anogeissus latifolia. In
dry slopes and shallow soils, Boswellia serrata occurs in association with Chloroxylon swietenia.
The under growth is shrubby and dominated by Dodonea viscosa and Lantana camara.
30
3.1.9 Type-5D/S1 (Dry deciduous shrub): Such forests are in various stages of degradation.
The degradation is brought about by maltreatment meted out by repeated felling, grazing and
forest fire. Due to removal of certain species over a prolonged period, the tree growth has
virtually disappeared and is not allowed to grow beyond the height of a shrub. As a result, the
forest becomes an open layer of shrubby growth with odd trees scattered here and there.
However, such forests are in a fluid state and may progress into dry deciduous forests if properly
protected. On the Contrary, if further ravaged, it degrades into thorny type and ultimately dry
grass prevails. The general floristic composition is almost the same as in type 5A/C3 but for the
fact that the crop is sparse and much degraded. Albizia amara, Acacia leucophloea, Butea
monosperma, Carissa carandus, Dalbergia paniculata, Erythroxylon monogynum,etc. are
common.
3.1.10 Type 5E4 (Hardwickia forest): This is a distinct edaphic type of the dry deciduous
forest characterized by the gregarious occurrence of Hardwickia binata (Kamara), owing to
which the classification comes into prominence. Hardwickia binata, adapts itself to the
prevailing environmental conditions forming pure groups. This species occurs gregariously and
often in complete occupation of the ground. This type is encountered in the northern portion of
Bukkapatna RF and Kudrekanive extension RF. The growing stock is of recent origin though
aged and gnarled trees are found scattered. Hardwickia binata has relatively not many associates,
both floristically and numerically. However, the occurrence of fire hardy species like
Chloroxylon swietenia and Anogeissus latifolia is indicative of the typically repeated ground fire
occurring in these forests. Fire-hardiness coupled with heavy periodical seeding has enabled this
species to grow gregariously.
3.1.11 Type 6A/DS1 (Southern thorn shrub): This type is the most widely spread forest type
occurring throughout the division. In its most degraded form, the thorn forests of the division are
totally devoid of tree growth with an open layer of shrub and thorny bushes. Goat browsing is a
common feature. Much of the soil is bare. Such areas cover a large portion of the forests of the
division where total barrenness with several huge rocky hills of irretrievable stage can be
noticed. Albizia amara, Acacia chundra, Cassia fistula, Cassia auriculata, Carissa carandus,
Dodonea viscosa, Euphorbia spp, Randia dumetorum, Zizyphus spp etc. are common.
31
3.1.12 The character of vegetation in some of the forest blocks has been described in brief as
follows.
 Adinayakanahalli RF: The Forest consists of scrub type vegetation with old Eucalyptus
plantations scattered all over. Rocky patches are often found in the area. The principal
species are Terminalia chebula, Anogeissus latifolia, Acacia chundra, Stereospermum
personatum, Hardwickia binata etc. Coppice growth of teak can be seen in and around
the forest.
 Ankasandra RF and Marashettyhalli RF: The forest is poor and open due to over
exploitation in the past. Most of the area is covered by shrub with thorny species. Present
growth consists of Cassia fistula, Lagerstroemia parviflora, Cassia auriculata, Santalum
album etc.
 Bargihalli PF: The forest is open with sparse growth of Albizia amara, Wrightia
tinctoria, and Holoptelia integrifolia. The forest is invaded by Lantana and Dodonea.
However, with the implementation of FEPEPK project the forest has shown signs of
rejuvenation.
 Bukkapatna RF: The northern parts show gregarious growth of Hardwickia binata
associated with Anogeissus latifolia, Chloroxylon swietenia, Boswellia serrata etc. A
large number of sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) are found.
 Chikkasandra Kaval RF: The general vegetation consists of stunted Acacia chundra
plants, coppice growth of Eucalyptus trees sprinkled all over in addition to undergrowth
of Lantana, Calotropis, and Dodoneaetc. An area of 110 hectare has been planted with
Tamarind during 1998, 1999 and 2000. The plantations are good.
 Chowdalapura RF: The growth is of very poor dominated by scrub vegetation.

Because of repeated fire incidences, the area is invaded with grass and weeds. Old
coppice growth of Eucalyptus occurs over an area of 200 hectare. The principal species
are Acacia chundra, Anogeissus latifolia, Buchanania lanzan, Terminalia chebula,
Chloroxylon swietenia, etc.
32
 Dasoodi RF: The forest is severely eroded with shallow and unfertile soil. As a result,
vegetation is stunted. Present vegetation consists of Hardwickia binata, Streospermum
personatum, Anogeissus latifolia etc.
 Halkurike RF: The forest is patchy and the entire area was subjected to heavy
extraction in the past. Bush growth of Acacia chundra, Streospermum personatum,
Grewia spp, Buchanania lanzan etc. are seen. Vegetation consists of good young
coppice growth of Streospermum personatum, Buchanania lanzan, Tectona grandis,
Boswellia serrata, Diospyros spp, Grewia spp, etc. The area has been repeatedly planted
with overlapping plantations. The forest consists of coppice growth of old Eucalyptus
plantations. This area is full of grass called “Baade hullu,” which is highly susceptible to
fire.
 Huliyurdurga RF: The forest was heavily exploited for fuel and charcoal. Existing
vegetation consists of bushy coppice of Terminalia chebula, Terminalia coriaceae,
Terminalia tomentosa, Terminalia bellirica, Boswellia serrata, Dalbergia latifolia etc.
Aided natural regeneration models taken up under Forestry and Environmental Project
for Eastern plains of Karnataka have contributed towards improvement of rootstock.
 Ippadi RF: The entire forest was worked under coppice with standards system. Heavy
exploitation has led to the degeneration of the vegetation comprising Albizia amara,
Butea monosperma, Anogeissus latifolia and Buchanania lanzan.
 Kudurekanive RF: The forest now consists of scrub growth. The entire block has been
heavily worked in the past for firewood and charcoal resulting in unsound, stunted and
crooked growth. Bulk of the existing crop is composed of growth left over after heavy
working in the past. An area of 170 hectares has been planted by trench mound method,
mainly with Hardwickia binata (Kamara), during 1998. The growth of Kamara is good
varying from 2-3 m height and girth up to 10-20 cm.
 Manchaladore RF: The forest was heavily exploited for fuel and charcoal, Existing
vegetation consists of Albizia amara, Pongamia pinnata, Hardwickia binata etc.
 Rangaswamybetta RF: The forest was heavily exploited for fuel and charcoal in the
past. Growth except near the temple, is poor consisting of Morinda tinctoria, Diospyros
sp. Acacia chundra, Albizia amara and Dalbergia paniculata.
33
3.2 Plant species diversity
3.2.1 The forests of the division do not present a complex diversity either in distribution or in
composition, barring a few isolated pockets like Devarayanadurga RF, Kolikal RF and
Madhugiri RF etc (para 3.1.1). Substantial part of the forest area is either un wooded or with
thorny scrub with crown density less than 25%. Sri Range Gowda in his Working plan under
revision remarks that “Most of the forests found in the division lack any luxuriant growth.
These forests can be categorized into abnormal forests, where growing stock, age
distribution, increment etc. are deficit than the normal forests”.
3.2.2 In order to have an overview of the composition and condition of the growing stock,
inventory was taken up in natural forests as well as plantations during 2012-13 and 2013-14. The
objective was to obtain information on the composition of species, distribution of stems in
various diameter classes, growing stock per unit area (hectares), estimated growing stock,
importance value index (IVI) etc. to evolve management strategies during the plan period. The
intensity of sampling was 0.1% in natural forests and 1% in plantations. In all 85 natural forest
blocks over 80664.30 hectares and 107 Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations over
3313.66 hectares were inventoried.
Vegetational Analyses in Natural forests:
3.2.3 Methodology: Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the vegetation was done by laying
quadrats of 0.10 ha (31.62m x 31.62m) by adopting unrestricted or simple random sampling
method. Exhaustive primary data was collected and quantitatively analyzed for the relative
values of density, dominance and frequency by computing the following indices for each species.
(a) Relative density = Total individuals of a species x 100.

Total individuals of all the species
(b) Relative dominance = Total basal area of a species x 100.

Total basal area of all the species
(c) Relative frequency = Number of quadrates in which the species occurred x 100.
Number of quadrates examined
34
(d) The Importance Value Index (IVI) of each species was computed as the summation of the
relative values of density, dominance and frequency of that particular species. IVI of a species
gives a fair indication of the number, basal area and its distribution.
Importance Value Index (IVI) = Relative density + Relative dominance +

Relative frequency.
3.2.4 Apart from the above indices the values for number of stems per hectare, basal area,
volume per hectare, and the total growing stock are computed for each of the forest block. In
addition, the individuals are assigned to various diameter classes to arrive at the distribution
pattern of individuals in diameter classes.
3.2.5 The values for the above parameters are computed for the sampling area and then
extrapolated for the entire forest block. Values were analyzed separately for prominent species of
the region like Acacia chundra, Acacia auriculiformis, Anogeissus latifolia, Buchanania spp,
Diospyros sp, Dalbergia paniculata, Eucalyptus spp, Hardwickia binata, Santalum album,
Stereospermum personatum and Zizyphus sp. The rest are collectively analyzed under
“miscellaneous” species.
3.2.6 The volume is estimated using the formula Basal area x Height x Form factor. In view of
the variation in species, age and site quality an average form factor of 0.40 is applied. A safety
margin of 20% is deducted while arriving at the net volume for sampling and non-sampling
errors. The growing stock so estimated is only indicative and is sufficient for planning
purposes.
3.2.7 Species composition: Forests in general comprise of a mixture of mostly deciduous type
though a few evergreen species occur along water courses and springs. Based on the Importance
Value Index computed for different species the distribution of various species is determined. On
the whole, species like Acacia chundra, Acacia auriculiformis, Anogeissus latifolia, Buchanania
spp, Dalbergia paniculata, Diospyros spp, Eucalyptus spp, Hardwickia binata, Santalum album,
Stereospermum personatum, etc. predominate. Noteworthy feature of the vegetation is the
predominance of species like Stereospermum personatum (11.93%), Acacia chundra (11.86%)
and Dalbergia paniculata (8.58%) in that order. They are closely followed by Eucalyptus spp
35
(introduced 5.71%), Diospyros sp (4.98%), Anogeissus latifolia (4.95%), Hardwickia binata
3.32%), Buchanania sp (2.42%) and Acacia auriculiformis (9.05%). Sandal (0.42%), occurs in
Haragaldevigudda RF, Huliyurdurga RF, Kampalapura RF and Marshettihalli RF in varying
proportions. Fabaceae is the most widely represented family.
Note: Figures in parenthesis indicate the ratio of population of a species to the total
population of all species.
3.2.8 Rarity and Vulnerability: Though relatively common in other parts of the State, species
like Diospyros sp, Anogeissus latifolia, Hardwickia binata, Buchanania spp, Santalum album,
Zizyphus sp have a population of less than 5% with low frequency and distribution. They can be
assessed as locally rare. Such species need to be given more importance during afforestation
programmes to build up their population above critical levels. Species like Aegle marmelos,
Feronia elephantum and Sterculia urens are endangered and species like Acacia ferruginea,
Albizia lebbeck, Albizia procera, Chlroxylon swietenia and Dalbergia latifolia are vulnerable. In
addition, the population of species like Decalepsis hamiltoni, Terminalia chebula and Rauvolfia
serpentine are fast dwindling. The criteria of threat obviously being loss of habitat and
indiscriminate harvesting.
3.2.9 Tree stocking: Generally, the tree stocking is poor with a mean density of 187 stems per
hectare. The highest of 520 stems per hectare is recorded in Ankapura RF followed by
Haragaladevigudda RF (459), Harenahalli RF (451) and Andalguppe RF (406). Hiredhoddawadi
RF (81), Hirebetta RF (83), Huthridurga RF (84) and Thirthrampura RF (86) are poorly stocked.
The stock in the remaining forests varied from 380 to 90 stems per hectare.
3.2.10 Distribution of trees in diameter classes: On an average, the distribution of trees is

highest in the lower diameter classes of under 10 cm and between 10-20 cm accounting for about
94% of the total number of stems per hectare. The number of trees above 20 cm dbh constituting
the timber class account for a mere 8% of the population (about 15 trees per hectare).
3.2.11 The particulars regarding the distribution of trees in diameter classes, number of stems,
basal area and volume per hectare, which is indicative of the condition of the crop, is given in
Appendix-14. The trend in distribution of trees among various diameter classes is also
36
graphically represented. It could be seen from the graph that the distribution pattern is in the
form of a “Reverse-J”-curve typical of uneven aged forests (a negative exponential or Reverse-J
distribution).

3.2.12 It is evident from the analyses that the forests of the division are not normal forests
without representation of trees in all age groups.
3.2.13 Volume: Analyses reveal that generally, the forests are very poorly stocked with an
average of 3.031m3 per hectare, which compares poorly with the national average of about 54m3
per hectare and the States average of 77 m3 per hectare (ISFR-2013, Table 5.5). The highest
volume is recorded in Huliyurdurga RF (21.276 m3) followed by Gollahalli block,
Devarayanadurga RF (18.104 m3) and Marshettihalli RF (14.152 m3). Midigeshi RF recorded the
lowest volume (0.033 m3) followed by Tippaganahalli RF (0.043 m3) and Bangaranayakanabetta
RF (0.178 m3). The growing stock in other forests varied from 0.242 m3 to 13.3 m3 per hectare.
The growing stock in the recorded forest of the division is estimated at 0.341million m3
(2012 base year).
37
3.2.14 Importance Value Index (IVI): The Importance Value Index for certain prominent
species like Acacia chundra, Anogeissus latifolia, Buchanania spp, Diospyros spp, Dalbergia
paniculata, Hardwickia binata, Santalum album, Stereospermum personatum and Zizyphus spp
etc were computed based on the relative values of density, dominance and frequency of the
respective species. On analyses, it was found that Stereospermum personatum with a mean IVI
of 51.19 was the most prominent species. It is followed by Acacia chundra (37.57), Dalbergia
paniculata (36.84), Eucalyptus spp (24.52), Diospyros sp (21.38), Anogeissus latifolia (21.25),
Hardwickia binata (14.25), Acacia auriculiformis (4.50), Santalum album (1.82) and Zizyphus sp
(0.14) respectively. The forest wise particulars of IVI in respect of the above species are given in
Appendix-15.

3.2.15 Growing stock in Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations: About 4559.06
hectares of Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations need to be harvested during the plan
period. This includes 266.06 hectares of older plantations that were inadvertently not listed for
38
harvesting during the previous plan period and 395 hectares of plantation that were scheduled for
harvest during the previous plan period and not harvested.
3.2.16 In order to arrive at the species composition, tree stocking and volume, 106 plantations
of different age groups (older plantations well passed their rotation age and plantations between
5 and 12 years age) extending over 3293.66 hectares were inventoried and analyzed. The
intensity of sampling was 1%. It is inferred from the analyses that the plantations are not uniform
in distribution, stocking and growth. In addition, the plantations are not equiproductive per unit
area.
3.2.17 Species composition: The exact composition of species that were planted could not be
ascertained for want of proper records. However, the species composition of the existing stock
was determined by inventory. Eucalyptus is the major species, accounting for 87.68% of the
composition followed by Acacia auriculiformis (12.08%), Cassia siamea and Casurina
equisitifolia accounted for a negligible proportion (0.21% and 0.03% respectively). The above
figures are the indicative of only the general composition. The composition varied when
individual plantations were considered. Eucalyptus was the sole species in certain plantations.
3.2.18 The following pie chart gives a fair indication of the species wise composition in the
entire forest division.

3.2.19 Tree stocking: The average tree stocking is rather poor at 30% with an average
density of 413 stems per hectare. Constant hacking has resulted in coppice shoots of uneven age,
and as such, the crop is not uniform. However, the following plantations have recorded a survival
of 50% and more.
 1981-82 plantation, Bidanakere - 100% (multiple coppice)

 2005-06 plantations, Rajathadripura - 100% (multiple coppice)
 1982-83 plantation, Bidarakatte - 95%
 1986-87 plantation, Kamsanahalli - 86%
 1982-83 plantation, Bannikuppe - 78%
 2007-08 plantation, Chikkasandra kaval - 73%
 2007-08 plantation, Mudhugiri - 63%
 1997-98 plantation, Ballapura - 60%
 2006-07 plantation, Ranganathapura - 58%
 2005-06 plantation, Adinayakanahalli - 57%
 2005-06 plantation, Kotegudda - 55%
 2005-06 plantation,Badavanahalli - 53%
 2007-08 plantation, Bargihalli - 52%
 2004-05 plantation, Ramadevarabetta - 50 %
3.2.20 Distribution of trees in diameter classes: During the course of analyses of inventory
data, the trees were assigned to respective diameter classes ranging from less than 10 cms to over
100 cms. Over 48% of trees occurred in the dia-class below 10cms, 42% occurred between 10-19
cms dia-class and the remaining 9% over 20 cm dia-class.
3.2.21 Volume: The average volume per unit area varied across age groups. Some of the very
old plantations that have past their rotation age recorded an average volume of 18m3 per hectare,
at an average survival of 29%. The volume recorded per hectare in plantations across age groups
is given below which is indicative of the status of the plantations.

Note: On an average, the plantation recorded a volume of about 11 m3 per hectare.
The figures are only indicative of the growing stock and should not be treated as prescribed
yield. More realistic estimation can be made after marking of all the trees at the time of
harvesting.
3.2.22 A statement showing the distribution of trees in various diameter class, survival rate,
density and the estimated growing stock at the time of inventory is given in Appendix- 14 (a) to
14(g).
3.3 Status of biodiversity conservation in forests
3.3.1 In order to conserve the biological diversity, sustainable use of its components and
equitable sharing of benefits arising out of the biological resources the Government of India have
enacted The Biological Diversity Act-2002 and consequently the Government of Karnataka
formulated The Karnataka Biological Diversity Rules-2005, which came into force from 29-6-
2006. Biodiversity management committees are being formed at various levels as stipulated
under The Biological Diversity Act-2002 and Karnataka Biodiversity Rules-2005.
3.3.2 The status of certain rare, vulnerable and threatened species in the forests of the division
has been discussed in para 3.2.8. However, barring Kolikal RF (Siddarabetta) of Koratagere
41
range which has been accorded the status of in-situ conservation, no specific in-situ and ex-situ
conservation efforts were made all these years with respect to such species.
3.4 Status of species prone to over-exploitation
3.4.1 The population of species like Decalepsis hamiltoni, Terminalia chebula, Rauvolfia
serpentine, Aegle marmelos, Feronia elephantum etc. have gone down below critical levels due
to clandestine and unregulated removals. The above species were not considered as a part of the
sale units. Absence of regulations has resulted in the decline of the population in the wild.
3.5 Conservation of the genetic resources
3.5.1 Preservation plots: A Research Range is functioning at Tumkur headed by a Research

Range Forest Officer under the administrative control of the Research wing at Bangalore. An
extent of 269.95 hectares of forestland has been set apart for forestry research. This research
wing is engaged in tree improvement programmes like development of Clonal orchards.
Tamarindus indica, Annona squamosa and Phylanthus Emblica are the principal species of study
at the Research nursery at Ankapura near Gubbi. Preservation plots of Simarouba glauca are also
established.
3.5.2 The area set apart for forestry research is given in Table-11.

3 Kunigal Andolguppe RF 50.00
4 Madhugiri Badavanahalli RF 100.00
Total 269.95
3.5.3 Medicinal Plants Conservation Area (MPCA): The forest department has established a
Medicinal Plants Conservation Area (MPCA) at Namadhachilume in Devarayanadurga RF with
the help of Foundation for Revitalization of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT), Bangalore.
The MPCA extends over 178 hectares (13005′ N and 77014′ E @ 850-1040 MSL). The MPCA
acts as a site capturing the inter and intra specific medicinal plant diversity that exists in
42
Devarayanadurga forests and serves as a study site to learn about the medicinal plants, their
distribution pattern and the natural conditions of soil, rainfall, altitude and biotic associations and
micro habitat. In general, the MPCA at Devarayanadurga can be viewed as a site of research and
an in-situ gene bank of medicinal plants.
3.5.4 The forest department has also established an herbal garden named “Siddha Sanjeevini
aushadhi Vana” over an area of 6 hectares. Many herbal and religious gardens like Moolika
Vana, Navagraha vana, Ashoka Vana, Swaasthya Vana, etc. are also established that are well
received by the people. A meditation centre in the shape of a pyramid modeled after The Gizah
pyramid of Egypt attracts a lot of visitors.
3.5.5 Documentation of genetic diversity: Devarayanadurga forest in general and MPCA in

particular is visited by many botanists, researchers and plant lovers. The genetic diversity has
been studied and documented by some of the enthusiasts. Harish R Bhatt in his book “Medicinal
Plants of Devarayanadurga” has listed about 167 species of medicinal plants belonging to 60
families that are listed below.

3.6 Fauna and their habitat
3.6.1 Though the forest cover is not substantial, the forests are inhabited by a variety of animal
life. However, larger animals are scarce in the district. It is reported that (Times of India, 07-03-
2008) in 2000, a team of experts engaged in studying medicinal plants have spotted tiger
pugmarks and scats in Devarayanadurga RF in Tumkur range. It is also reported that the Wild
life Institute of India, Dehradun, has confirmed that the scat found was that of a tiger. The other
fauna is typical of the thorn and shrub forests of the region. Blackbuck occurs as scattered
remnants of the population in certain plantations in the plains especially near Konehalli in Tiptur
range and Mydanahalli in Madhugiri range. Occasional herds of wild sheep are seen in
Thimmalapura RF and Devarayanadurga RF. Sloth bears are plenty in the hill forests of
Koratagere and Bukkapatna ranges. Though elusive, panthers are found in almost all taluks.
Hares are plentiful on the hill slopes.

3.7 Threats and challenges to wildlife
3.7.1 Threats to the forests in general constitute threat to the wildlife as well. The meager forest
cover in the district is spread over 420 land parcels and is fragmented consequently the wildlife
habitat is also fragmented. The other threats and challenges are degradation of habitat, scarcity of
water, poaching, etc. Though instances are rare, there are stray cases of poaching of blackbuck,
wild boar, jungle fowl and peafowl for meat. Certain cases are not reported at all. Change in land
use pattern, encroachment of forestland to extend agriculture etc. has exerted tremendous
pressure on wildlife that are forced to visit human settlements in search of easy prey like cattle,
dog and poultry. This exposes them to various kinds of injuries including death. Large tracts of
monoculture plantations (Eucalyptus sp and Acacia auriculiformis) were raised in the past. The
composition of such forests does not constitute an ideal habitat for wildlife.
48
3.7.2 Man-animal conflict: Cases of crop depredation human and livestock injury and
mortality have resulted in an antagonistic attitude among the people who retaliate by shooting the
wild animals, poisoning the caracas of the kill in order to put an end to the predator. Many times
the Forest department has captured the straying animals like panther and sloth bear and relocated
them by releasing in suitable areas. Cattle and poultry lifting by panther is very common in
Tiptur, Kunigal and Chikkanayakanahalli taluks. Attacks by sloth bear are a common feature in
Chikkanayakanahalli, Koratagere and Pavgada taluks. Crop depredation by blackbuck around the
Jayamangali Blackbuck reserve at Mydanahalli is also common. Though resident elephants are
absent in the forests of the district, one herd supposedly from the adjoining Savanadurga forest is
frequenting the district on a consistent basis. Usually the pachyderms visit during September-
October. The herd is causing severe damages to the areca nut, paddy and banana crop in several
villages of Kunigal, Tumkur and Gubbi taluks. Loss of human lives by elephant trampling have
also been reported. As many as 22 people have been killed in the last decade and a sum of Rs.
22,24,500 is paid as ex-gratia. About 391 cases of human injury as reported during the period.
About 1129 cases of crop depredation involving an ex-gratia payment of Rs. 11,62,437 are
reported. Ninety eight cases of killing of livestock are also reported.
3.7.3 The particulars are given in Appendix-16.
3.8 Protection and management of fauna
3.8.1 Protected areas: Action is initiated to bring certain areas of Mydanahalli in Madhugiri
taluk that has a good population of blackbucks (Antelope cervicapra) under protected area
network. An extent of 323.28 hectares in Mydanahalli, Doddenahalli, Hosahalli, Govindnahalli
and Talekere villages has been declared as “Jayamangali Blackbuck Conservation Reserve”
as per the provisions of subsection (1) of section 36(A) of the Wild life (protection) Act, 1972
vide notification no FEE-342-PWL-05, dated-15-02-2007. Mydanahalli is said to harbor the
second largest population of blackbucks next to Ranebennur Wild life sanctuary. Many
renowned grass land experts including the leading researcher on blackbucks Dr. M.K. Ranjith
Singh have visited the reserve and has opined that this area is one of the best habitats for
49
blackbuck in India. He has suggested preserving this beautiful area in the interest of ecology and
environment. The following are the excerpts from his views.
“I was most impressed with the area of Mydanahalli and its prospects as a future
outstanding sanctuary for not only the blackbuck but for other fauna as well. It is a
beautiful setting grassland next to a man made forest and preserves a type of ecosystem
that is getting increasingly rare in the country. I feel Mydanahalli would surpass even
Ranebennur Sanctuary as a conservation area for blackbuck and other grass land species.”
Besides the present estimated population of around 2500 blackbucks, this reserve harbors 19
species of mammals belonging to 11 families, 67 species of butterflies belonging to 7 families,
125 species of birds belonging to 37 families of which 22 are migratory. This is the only habitat
in Tumkur district where the Indian courser (Coursers coromandelicus) and the painted sand
grouse (Pterocles indicus) have been spotted. Some of the surrounding villagers claim to have
sighted the great Indian bustard (Chriotis nigricaps) in the past.
3.8.2 Draft proposals are pending before the government to declare an extent of 5085.92
hectares in Madhugiri RF and Chikkamadhugiri RF as “Timlapura Bear Sanctuary” as per the
provisions of Section-18 of Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972.
3.8.3 A project plan is conceived for the conservation of slender loris (Loris tardigradus) which
is in substantial number around Nagavalli, Ponnasandra, Shettappanahalli, Banavara,
Ranganathapura, Thimmasandra, Bidrakatte, Dommanakuppe and Sirivara villages of Tumkur
taluk. The Wildlife and Nature Awareness Club (WANC) a nongovernmental organization is
actively involved to further the cause of protection of this nocturnal animal.
3.8.4 Man-animal harmony: Though much is discussed about the Man-animal conflict, the
people of Kaggaladu village in Sira taluk in an unique gesture are fostering the migratory birds.
Around February, painted storks (Mycteria leucocephala) and grey herons (Ardea cinerea) nest
on 12 tamarind trees amidst the houses within the village. The nesting colony at Kaggaladu was
made known to outside world only recently and it is said to be the only sight in Karnataka where
painted storks and grey herons nest side by side. These birds live in perfect harmony and
mutual tolerance with the villagers and enjoy their protection, setting an example of peaceful co-
existence between man and animals.

CHAPTER – 4
4. MAINTAINANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF FOREST HEALTH AND VITALITY
4.1 Natural regeneration
4.1.1 The state of natural regeneration varies from forest to forest. On the whole the natural
regeneration is inadequate except for hardy species like Acacia chundra, Dalbergia paniculata
and Anogeissus latifoia. Profuse regeneration of Sandal is noticed in Kampalapura block of
Kunigal range and Marshettihalli block of Gubbi range. This is attributed to protection from
grazing and fire. Appreciable regeneration of Dendrocalamus strictus is observed in the lower
reaches of Devarayanadurga block around Namadhachilume area. A noteworthy feature is the
profuse regeneration of Shorea tolura in Devarayanadurga and Kolikal forest blocks. Shorea
tolura occurs almost gregariously in certain patches of this forest.
Natural regeneration of Shorea tolura in Kolikal forest block - Siddarabetta.
51
4.1.2 The fact that more number of stems are represented in younger diameter class indicates
the status of population dynamics. Wherever the forests are repeatedly ravaged by fire the
regeneration is obviously poor.
4.2 Area affected by forest fire
4.2.1 Impact of fire: Forest fire has a deleterious impact on the deciduous and scrub forests.
Forests on the hills are particularly vulnerable to fire. Large portions of the forests are burnt
annually. Frequent fire destroys the biodiversity of the region by damaging and often killing the
seedlings, coppice, tree growth and natural regeneration. Normally the fire is ground fire which
burn grasses, bushes, fallen leaves and deadwood. The local graziers set ablaze grazing areas in
the hope of getting new flush of shoots and grass. Tribes, middle men and locals exploit the
forests by setting fire to facilitate collection of NTFPs. Almost all the forests of the division
are susceptible and are repeatedly ravaged by fire. However, forest fire in
Devarayanadurga RF attracts the attention of public and media more than any other such
instances. On the whole the system of fire protection by way of clearing and fire tracing a
network of fire lines seems to be inadequate in the division.
4.2.2 The division, for various reasons, has been poorly equipped to prevent or control the
spread of forest fire. It is estimated that nearly one third extent of the forests of the division gets
burnt every year. Assessment of the loss has not been done. This is attributed to poor
infrastructure, low levels of staff motivation and inadequate budgetary support. Poor information
system has prevented the staff from reacting quickly to any given incidence of fire outbreak.
4.2.3 Fire season: Forest fire is triggered during summer when the ground cover, particularly
grass like Cymbopogan becomes dry. Period of vulnerability being February to May.
4.2.4 Frequency of fire: The frequency is generally annual. No reliable records of areas
affected by fire are maintained. The Karnataka State Remote Sensing Application Centre,
Bangalore has generated a fire risk zonation map for the district indicating fire risk zones. The
area is classified as high risk, moderate risk and low risk regions. As per the maps the forests of
Gubbi, Chikkanayakanahalli and Pavagada ranges are at moderate risk, though small pockets are
said to be at high risk. This would enhance the capability in monitoring forest fire on real time
basis.
52
53
4.2.5 Fire spread: The winds are high in the dry season which can spread the fire rapidly. The
spread is rapid if the fire is travelling from foot of the hills to the top. Grass like Cymbopogan
acts as an accelerator because of the presence of oil. The species which are readily combustible
are Acacia chundra, Cymbopogan spp. Pterelobium bushes, etc.
4.2.6 Intensity of fire: Fire occurring in the forests of the division is mostly high intensity fire
due to the burning of dry grass. This is the major constraint in the control of fire as it is often
impossible due to intense heat and impenetrable thorny thickets.
4.3 Area damaged by natural calamities
4.3.1 The areas affected by natural calamities such as strong winds, flood, frost, etc are very
minimum and insignificant. There are no records indicating the exact area affected by such
phenomenon in the past.
4.3.2 Drought: The district lies in a region in which the rainfall is moderate to low and is
generally drought prone, because of prolonged dry period. During drought the water table sinks
drastically affecting the regeneration and growth. On the whole, all the 420 forest blocks are
drought prone.
4.3.3 Wind: The forests are comparatively free from wind damage. Damages caused by
occasional gusty winds are not significant and are not recorded.
4.4 Area protected from grazing
4.4.1 The district is primarily agrarian with agriculture, horticulture, sericulture and allied
activities being the main occupation. The farmers maintain a fair number of livestock.
4.4.2 The district has large resident cattle population which is invariably dependent on the
meager forest resources for grazing over 5 lakhs goats are reared in the district (District
Statistical Hand Book-2012). Besides grazing the graziers needlessly hack the green trees to
provide fodder to their herds. Even trees by the roadsides are not spared. This problem is more
pronounced in Bukkapatna and Manchaldore forests. It is estimated that nearly 40000-50000
sheep graze in these forests daily during May-December. Penning of cattle inside forests is also
common in Bukkapatna forests. Accurate information on the number of live stock grazing in the
forests is not available. However, it can be concluded that forests have deteriorated, by
overgrazing beyond their productive capacity.
54
4.4.3 Regulation of grazing: Grazing is regulated as per the provisions of Karnataka Forest
Act-1963 and Cattle Trespass Act-1871. Regeneration areas are being closed for grazing for 5
years (Working plan prescriptions 2001 to 2010).
4.4.4 Availability of pasture land and palatable species: Certain community lands have been
set apart for grazing by the erstwhile rulers and they were designated as “Gomalas” (permanent
pasture). The extent of such gomalas in the district is about 76,500 hectares. Besides grass
available in this gomalas, the State Department and Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Sciences
is promoting fodder production under various schemes and is encouraging stall feeding. This
approach has reduced the pressure on forests recently.
4.5 Lopping practices
4.4.5 Collection of NTFP’s involving destruction of plants was prohibited as per the prescription
of the previous plan. Tamarind, Maradi, Seethaphala were the main NTFP’s that were collected.
Collection of these products did not involve any kind of lopping and it can be construed that no
damage was inflicted due to lopping. However, the possibility of lopping trees like Honge and
Glirecidia for green manure is not ruled out. Sweeping of forest floor to collect dry leaf litter
could be seen in forest fringes adjoining to settlements.
4.6 Area infested by invasive weed species in forests
4.6.1 Since most of the forest barring certain pockets of Devarayanadurga RF and Madhugiri
RF are open forests with a crown density below 25%, invasive weeds like Lantana camara,
Parthenium hysterophorus are abundant. Weeds especially Lantana can change fire patterns in a
forest ecosystem by altering the fuel load causing a buildup of combustible material. This
increases the risk of fire spreading to the canopy. The dense thickets of Lantana become a
dominant understory shrub, affecting regeneration of other species. The abundance is neither
quantified nor mapped. However, the regeneration areas were maintained to avoid growth and
proliferation of weeds.
4.7 Incidences of pests and diseases
4.7.1 Damage by insects and pests: Large scale Eucalyptus plantations were raised in the past.
It was observed that gall insects Leptocybe invasa a systemic insect affecting the leaf mid-rib and
the petiole infected Eucalyptus plantations raised during 2006-07 and 2007-08. Young plants
55
and coppice shoots were the most affected. About 65,000 container seedlings affected by gall
were destroyed at the nursery stage. Plantations were sprayed with “Imidacloprid” a systemic
insecticide. Though the plants recovered in the initial stage after the spray, the insects attacked
again since they have an overlapping life cycle.
4.7.2 Damage by parasites, fungi and other insects pests are not discernible and are of little
significance.
56
CHAPTER-5
5. CONSERVATION AND MAINTENACE OF SOIL AND WATER RESOURCES
5.1 Area treated under soil and water conservation measures
5.1.1 Since most of the areas recorded as forests do not have adequate forest cover, the
rainwater escapes without any percolation and the surface run off is quick. Gully dissected land
due to excessive soil erosion is of a common sight. Massive sheet erosion has added to the
impoverishment of the soil. The forest department has been taking up afforestation works but
integration with soil and moisture conservation works is only a recent phenomenon. With the
introduction of Forestry and Environment Project for Eastern Plains and the ongoing, KSFMBC
& NAP schemes soil and moisture conservation works are given due importance. Substantial
amount, as much as, upto 15% of the plantation cost is earmarked for soil and moisture
conservation works. The focus is on drainage line treatment coupled with appropriate land
treatment. The erosion prone areas are identified by thorough transect surveys including
interviewing farmers with active involvement of village forest committees. The important
restoration activities being taken up are prevention of soil erosion by gully plugging,
construction of water harvesting structures like check dams, contour bunding and percolation
tanks at strategic locations. Emphasis is on watershed approach wherein the work invariably
starts from the head and proceeds downstream in a ridge to valley approach. Vegetative barriers
are also created by planting Agaves to reclaim ravines and gullies. Emphasis is on more number
of low cost smaller structures based on “Micro catchments-Macro benefits” principle. The
design considerations are worked out as per the requirement of the site. The most important and
the visible element involved in this program is the motivation of the village forest committees.
Such is the whole hearted involvement of the people that they have contributed amount
earmarked for entry point activities to carry out soil and moisture conservation works. Over the
years, the impact of soil and moisture conservation works in the division is not only positive, but
also impressive. The treated areas have started showing signs of rejuvenation with a positive
change in the micro-climate.
5.1.2 Case study of Kallambella Watershed Development Project: Tumkur district is one of
the pioneer districts in taking integrated action for the development of micro-watersheds. The
experiments of integrated land use technology are positive and have contributed a lot towards
57
sustainable rural resource development. The case of Kallambella Watershed Development
Project is a classic example of transfer of integrated land use technology towards rural
development. The identified watershed extended over 24,363 hectares in Tumkur, Gubbi,
Koratagere and Sira taluks and was implemented from 1985 to 1994 under the stewardship of
Sri. K.M. Narayanaswamy, the then Project Director of the Watershed Development Program,
Tumkur. The landscape was holistically treated with a multidisciplinary approach involving
technical departments like the Forest department, the Agriculture department, the Horticulture
department and the Engineering department. Development activities like afforestation, silvi-
horticulture were taken up in consultation with the residents of the watershed who were the
major stake holders. Soil and water conservation was the thrust area. About 6,900 water
harvesting structures like rubble checks, boulder checks and ravine reclamation structures were
constructed. The project was subsequently evaluated with the help of satellite imageries and the
changes in cropping pattern, crop production, and ground water status were assessed. A visual
comparision of the satellite images taken during 1988 and 1993 indicated the improvement in the
vegetation of the watershed both quantitatively and qualitatively. A comparision of the land use
pattern in 1988 and1993 clearly indicated a shift from dry land farming to agro-horticulture and
agro-forestry.

It is recorded in the document pertaining to the project that “ From the observations and
studies, it is concluded that an improvement in the crop yield pattern, vegetation index,
horticultural production and ground water recharge, apart from the improvements in the
standard of living of the villagers in the watershed. The satellite evaluation by RRSSC,
ISRO, indicates that changes in the watershed to a tune of 25% after a gap of 5 years
period”. It was also observed that the 5 dry open wells in Huchbasavanahalli sub watershed
came alive following substantial storage of water in the nearby water harvesting structures. Sri.
S.K. Pattanayak, I.A.S., the then Secretary to the Government, Environment and Ecology
department and the Director, State Watershed Development Cell has lauded the results of the
project and in his foreword to the document has remarked that “During my field visit, I would
observe dramatic change in the land use pattern and socio-economic condition of the
farmers in the watershed. Farmers who were initially growing only Ragi, have switched
over to multi-crop system like mango, paddy, mulberry and coconut along with pulses and
oil-seeds due to availability of water by undertaking a series of soil and water conservation
measures. A visit to the plot of Sri. Pathaiah, a farmer at Nelhal (Lingenahally village)
amply demonstrates this change”.
5.1.3 The Karnataka Remote Sensing Application Centre, Bangalore has delineated 2415 micro-
watersheds of areas between 100-500 hectare in the district. The micro-watershed maps are
available in their Forest Atlas of Tumkur Division-2006. These watershed maps would be of
immense help to take up appropriate land treatment.
60
5.2 Duration of water flow in the selected seasonal streams
5.2.1 Drainage pattern and flow: The district falls both under the Krishna basin and the Kaveri
basin. The northward and southward drainages of the Krishna and the Kaveri river system clearly
point out to the existence of a central ridge in the district that passes across the middle of the
district as well as the State in an east-west direction. The two important rivers of this district are
the Shimsha and the Jayamangali. The river Shimsha originates in the Devarayanadurga hills and
flows in a southern direction and joins the river Kaveri. The Jayamangali also originates in the
Devarayanadurga hills flows in a northern direction and joins the Pennar which is a tributary of
the Krishna. Apart from these there are many streams that are non-perennial. In summer these
streams present the usual picture of a sandy bed with no or little water. Besides Jayamangali and
Shimsha, Suvarnamukhi, Garudachala, North Pinakini, Kumudvathi and Nagini are the other
rivulets flowing in the district.
5.2.2 Seasonal springs called “talapariges” or flowing wells are a peculiar feature of
Madhugiri, Kortagere and Pavagada taluks. They are dug up at locations like alluvial terraces,
riverbeds, behind tank bunds or along the waste-weirs of some of the larger tanks. The water
obtained from these springs is conducted by narrow channels to the fields or “kapile” wells are
constructed from which the water is drawn by bullocks. The talapariges are used only during the
rainy season as they will be dried up in summer. For want of timely and sufficient rains, these
springs are not working satisfactorily.
5.3 Wetlands in forest area
5.3.1 A wetland is a land area that is saturated with water either permanently or seasonally
constituting a characteristic and a distinct ecosystem. The wetlands in the forest areas are not yet
mapped. As such accurate data is not available. However, as a part of the project on National
Wetland Inventory and Assessment (NWIA) sponsored by the Ministry of Environment and
Forests (MoEF) the KSRSAC has identified 2,532 wetlands covering an area of 50,608 hectares.
Man made tanks and ponds account for 1,383 numbers (46,839 hectares). The remaining 33
(2,629 hectares) are wetlands along river/streams. In addition 1,149 (1,149 hectares) wetlands
that are less than 2.25 hectares are also identified in the district.

5.4 Water level in the wells in the vicinity (up to 5 km) of forest area
5.4.1 No specific data is available regarding the water level in the wells in the vicinity of each of
the forest block. However, the statistics contained in the Ground Water Information Booklet
for the district in general is relied upon. Accordingly, the pre-monsoon ground water level (May
2011) varied from 1.17-11.85 mbgl. Major parts of the district had a level of 2-5 mbgl and 5-10
mbgl. Very small isolated pockets in Pavagada, Turuvekere and Koratagere taluks was in 0-2
mbgl category. Hebbur in Kunigal taluk recorded more than 10 mbgl. The post-monsoon ground
water level varied from 0.26-10.65 mbgl. The shallowest water level was noticed at Turuvekere
and deepest water level at Hebbur. On an average, the water level ranged from 2-5 mbgl and 5-
10 mbgl. The following table gives a fair indication of the ground water level in dry land area.

5.5 State of aquifers
5.5.1 Excessive drawl of ground water from the shallow aquifers have led to fall in water levels
and drying up of wells. It is reported that more than 2,800 wells have dried up in the district and
the annual ground water trend is on a decline. However, substantial water resources could be
held at deeper patches but the delineation of the deeper fracture zones is a major challenge in
hard rocky areas.

CHAPTER-6
6. MAINTAINANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF FOREST RESOURCE

PRODUCTIVITY
6.1 Growing stock of wood
6.1.1 Analyses of growing stock has revealed that the forests are poorly stocked with an average
of 3.031m3 per hectare (para 3.2.13) and the estimated growing stock in the recorded forest area
of the division is 0.341 million m3 (2012-13 base year) necessitating measures to enhance the
growing stock commensurate with the carrying capacity of the land by adopting suitable
silvicultural practices as per the regulations contained in Part-II of this plan.
6.2 Growing stock of bamboo
6.2.1 The forests of the division barring certain pockets of Devarayanadurga (around
Namadhachilume and Chinniga) and Hiredodavadi block do not support luxuriant growth of
bamboo. Dendrocalamus strictus occurs in uneven patches in the above forests. Bambusa
arundinaceae possibly introduced occurs in the lower reaches around Namadhachilume in
Devarayanadurga block. Since bamboo does not occur uniformly over a substantial area its
growing stock was not determined by carrying out inventory. On ocular estimation the average
clumps per hectare is around 100, with an average of 10 culms per clump. The crop consists of
clumps of all ages and the quality of bamboo is rather poor, with a high proportion of damaged
and dry culms. Illicit removals by hacking are conspicuous in accessible areas.
6.3 Increment in volume of identified timber species
6.3.1 No benchmark data is available regarding the increment in volume either for the entire
stand in general or for any species in particular. Considering that the forests are not uniform in
age, the growth and yield cannot be determined. However, a forest-wise volumetric analyses is
made for certain widely occurring species like Acacia chundra, Acacia auriculiformis, Anogeisus
latifolia, Buchanania spp, Chloroxylon swietenia, Diospyros spp, Dalbergia paniculata,
Eucalyptus sp, Hardwickia binata, Santalum album, Stereospermum personatum, Zizypus spp
and the miscellaneous species and the particulars are given in Appendix-17. Data pertaining to
girth and volume may be reckoned as the data pertaining to base year (2012). A midterm
65
assessment may be made, say after five years from now to calculate indicators like Current
Annual Increment (CAI), Periodic Annual Increment (PAI), Mean Annual Increment (MAI), etc.
6.4 Efforts towards enhancement of forest productivity through quality plantation

activities
6.4.1 Area under plantations and regeneration activities: The intensity of afforestation,
barring certain measures taken up towards soil and moisture conservation, was negligible until
the Five Year Plans were ushered in. The treatment was limited to sowing of indigenous species
in patches, and dibbling of sandal seeds in exploited coupes etc. This gave way to trench mound
plantations, but to a limited scale. Plantations of Casuarina and Eucalyptus sp were raised. In
certain areas, pure Cassia siamea plantations were also raised. The tempo of afforestation
increased by leaps and bounds during the Ninth Plan and onwards. The implementation of JBIC
assisted Forestry and Environment Project for Eastern plains of Karnataka, National
Afforestation Programmes sponsored by the NAEB and more recently the implementation of
JBIC assisted KSFMBC Project has taken forestry in the district to a new dimension. The last
decade has seen a boom in the plantation activities. Over 4630 hectares of forests were brought
under various regeneration models. Forestry with its new rural development face has become
popular among the rural masses. To cater to the fuel wood requirement of the rural masses and
also to cater to the requirement of pulp wood an extent of 3898.00 hectares of mixed fuel wood
plantations were raised between 2001-02 and 2012-13. The particulars are given in Appendix-
18.
6.4.2 No fresh clearance was made by breaking the land and clearing the trees grown naturally
for the purpose of raising plantations.
6.5 Carbon stock
6.5.1 No data is available regarding the carbon stock estimation in the recorded forest area of the
division nor any assessment was made. The Forest Survey of India has estimated the carbon
stock in forestland for different carbon pools for various States including Karnataka (State of
Forest Report, 2011). As per table 4.4 the average carbon stock in different carbon pools in
Karnataka is 124.66 tons per hectare. The same data is relied upon to estimate the carbon stock
in the recorded forest area of Tumkur division. Relative computations are made in Table-14.
66
Considering that the average carbon stock is 124.66 tons per hectare, the total carbon stock in the
forests of the division is estimated at 14.03 million tons.
6.5.2 Particulars are given in Table-14.

enhancement of carbon sequestration through recognized and innovative silvicultural practices,
eco restoration of degraded forestlands and improved biomass productivity is discussed in detail
in the chapters on the respective working circles in the Part II of this plan.

CHAPTER-7
7. OPTIMIZATION OF FOREST RESOURCE UTILIZATION
7.1 Recorded removal of timber
7.1.1 During the previous working plan (2001-02 to 2010-11), extraction of timber and small
timber was dispensed with [Part II, Chapter-VIII, Section-6, Para-174(4)]. However, an extent of
2605.00 hectares of mixed fuel wood plantations were extracted as regulated under the plantation
working circle of the previous working plan. The plantations yielded 15041.27 m3 of timber,
23533.82 tons of pulp wood, 4309.39 tons of fire wood and 812 poles.
7.1.2 After the expiry of Sri Range Gowda’s plan 873.00 hectares of mixed fuel wood
plantations were extracted during 2013-14 and 2014-15 that yielded 27.323 m3 of timber,
7373.24 tons of pulp wood and 3067.00 tons of fire wood .
7.1.3 The particulars of extraction and out turn are given in Appendix-19.
7.2 Recorded removal of fuel wood
7.2.1 An extent of 3478 hectares of mixed fuel wood plantations were extracted during the last
plan period (para 7.1.1) and subsequently during 2013-14 and 2014-15 para (7.1.2). Other than
timber, pulpwood and poles, 7376.39 tons of fire wood was extracted (Appendix-19).
7.3 Recorded removal of bamboo-rattans
7.3.1 Considering that the forests do not have substantial bamboo available for extraction,
neither regulations were prescribed in the previous plan nor extraction was carried out.
7.4 Recorded removal of locally important NTFPs and MAPs
7.4.1 Assessment of demand and supply, sustainability and potentiality of locally important
NTFPs: Tamarind, maradi and seethaphal are the important products that are harvested from the
forests. The Agriculture Produce Marketing Committee (APMC), is involved in trading some
quantity. However, the trading figure does not reflect the exact demand-supply position since
these products are available in non-forest land also and the APMC is not the only trading centre.
Many medicinal plants that are available in the forests have diverse consumers including
pharmaceuticals, drug manufacturers, traditional physicians and traditional folk healers apart
from domestic users. To meet this ever growing demand, non-sustainable method often
68
bordering destructive collections are resorted to collect medicinal plants from the wild resources.
Consequently, medicinal plants are increasingly being threatened because of over exploitation
and habitat destruction. The population of NTFP yielding species is not normal in the forests.
Most of the population is below 40 cm diameter range. Yielding trees are less.
7.4.2 Methods of harvesting and removal of locally important NTFPs: Issue of pre-paid
permits for the collection of NTFPs has been stopped during the Seventies. NTFPs like
Tamarind, Maradi, Seethaphal, Tupra and other miscellaneous fruits and seeds were sold in
public auction bi-annually either separately or collectively. Tamarind (Tamarindus indica),
Seethaphal (Annona squamosa) and Maradi (Buchanania sp) and Tupra (Diospyros sp) are the
important forest products that were leased in the forest division during the previous plan period.
All other NTFPs were grouped under a common head “others”.
7.4.3 Particulars regarding the recorded removal of some of the NTFPs are given in Table-15.
7.4.4 It could be seen from the Table-15 that Tamarind is the major NTFP that is harvested. It is
followed by maradi seeds and seethaphala.

7.4.5 Though unreported, the practice of setting fire around tupra (Diospyros sp) trees to
facilitate emergence of new flush of leaves is common in Andalkuppe RF and Ujjani RF in
Kunigal range, Bukkapatana RF in Bukkapatana range and Ranganathapura RF in Sira range.
7.5 Demand and survey of timber and important non-timber forest produce
7.5.1 Introduction: The important forest products of utility in the division are timber, small
timber, non-timber forest products like tamarind, seethaphala, maradi seeds, honey wax,
thatching grass, medicinal plants, myrobolams, Eucalyptus and Casuarina poles. In general the
following are the species identified in the forests of division which cater to the needs of timber,
small timber, non-timber forest products, fruits, fodder and other cultural needs. Industrial
requirement of mineral is also met to some extent. The cement factory at Ammasandra is the
principal consumer of limestone quarried from nearby forests.
 Timber and small timber: Acacia nilotica, Acacia auriculiformis, Albizia spp,
Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus and Casuarina poles.
 Bamboo: Dendrocalamus strictus, Bambusa bambos.
 Non-timber forest products: Tamarindus indica, Diospyros sp, Annona squamosa,
Buchanania spp, myrobolams, honey and medicinal plants.
 Trees considered culturally important: Aegle marmelos, Azadirachta indica, Ficus
bengalensis, Ficus religiosa, Madhuca indica etc.
 Minerals: Iron, manganese and limestone.
7.5.2 Agricultural customs and local needs:Agriculture is the mainstay of the rural population
and the agricultural sector continues to play a crucial role in the development of the economy of
the district. About 65% of the population is engaged in agriculture and about 62% of the
geographical area is under agriculture, 48% is under cereals, 14% under pulses and 38% under
oil seed crops. With the exception of certain areas in Turuvekere, Kunigal, Gubbi and Tumkur,
cultivation is largely dependent on the erratic monsoons. Some area is irrigated from the large
number of tanks. The farmers still resort to old farming practices though a very few farmers who
are resourceful and entertaining apply modern farming techniques. Ragi and groundnut are the
major crops of the district and are cultivated as rain fed crop. Though there is no major change in
cropping pattern in the last few decades about 30% of area under cereals is diverted to oil seeds
70
specially to groundnut. Maize is a recent introduction to the district and its area is increasing
every year. Though cotton, sugar cane and tobacco are also cultivated, their area is very less.
Sericulture, sheep-goat rearing and dairy farming are the main subsidiary occupation in the
district. Piggery is also catching up in the district.
7.5.3 Barring a few privileged farmers most of the agriculturists belongs to economically weaker
sections. With the repeated fragmentation of land holding coupled with expensive social customs
the agriculturists are normally economically poor and are dependent on the forest. On the other
hand, the district is not self-sufficient in forest produce. The existing vegetation is of poor type
containing species capable of yielding only fuel of low quality and other NTFPs. The important
forest based needs of the people are detailed in the ensuing paragraphs.
7.5.4 Timber, small timber and poles: Usually small timber is in much demand for making
ploughs. Species like Chloroxylon swietenia and Acacia leucophloea are used for the share and
Acacia nilotica for construction and repairs of farmhouses, huts, cattle sheds, carts, turnery
works etc. Small timber is also required for ordinary furniture of domestic use like cots, tables,
chairs and benches. Acacia nilotica and Acacia auriculiformis are the popular species used by
local carpenters. Eucalyptus and Casuarina poles are in great demand for centering and
scaffolding works.
7.5.5 Bamboo: There is a great demand for bamboo especially from Medar community.
Bamboo is an integral part in the rural households. They are used in thatched dwellings, basket
making, ladders, agarbhatti sticks, silk filatures etc.
7.5.6 Fire wood: By and large, about 50% of the rural population is dependent on wood for
their daily cooking and heating needs. The main fuel in the rural household continues to be wood
though the moderately affluent use kerosene, LPG and gobar gas. Apart from the household
needs fuel wood is required for cottage industries, tile and brick manufacturing units, rituals and
ceremonies, petty hotels and restaurants.
7.5.7 Though fire wood is in demand, estimation of the quantum required for various purposes is
not done. The Forest Survey of India has carried out a low intensity wood consumption sample
survey to assess the fuel wood requirement. As per the data generated by this survey, the annual
average per capita fuel wood requirement for the State of Karnataka is 406 kgs (0.406 tons) and
71
314 kgs (0.314 tons) for rural and urban areas respectively. Accordingly, the average annual fuel
wood requirement of the district would be one million tones equivalent to 2.30 million
cubicmeters. Forests of the division meet the demand to a certain extent in the form of
deadwood, twigs and litter. Most of the demand for fuel is being met from the trees grown in
farm lands, crop residues like agricultural waste, coconut husk and shell and shrubs like Prosopis
juliflora which is abundant in the region. This species has turned out to be a boon to the rural
community since it accounts to more than 50% of the fuel needs. The State owned Karnataka
Forest Industries Corporation Ltd (KSFIC) was running a firewood depot at Tumkur, which is
not functioning at present.
7.5.8 Grazing: Grazing is an important need of the people, since they maintain a large number
of cattle for meat, milk products, manure and fuel. Though grazing in the forests is regulated as
per the provisions of Karnataka Forest Rules, 1969, grazing is prevalent to some extent.
7.5.9 Apart from meeting the above demands, people depend on the forests for their requirement
of edible fruits, leaves, medicinal plants, gums, resins etc. Collecting and selling is often the
main occupation of the tribal and nomads.
7.5.10 Socio-economic survey: So far no concrete efforts are made to assess the dependence of
local people on forest resources of the district. The occupation of the people is mainly agrarian
dependent upon meager natural resources like forests. Natural resource management under the
existing conditions of economic insecurity is always frought with complex set of problems
related to human-cattle dependence on the forests. The issue needs to be resolved with a multi-
disciplinary approach. Demographic data (2011 census) has been collected which will help in
evolving suitable strategies towards attaining sustainability.

7.6 Import and export of wood and wood products

7.6.1 There are no major wood and wood based industries in the division barring the legally
established saw mills. The quantity of timber imported by the saw mills is insignificant.
However, the saw mills and local traders procure the required timber from the timber depots in
the adjoining forest divisions and from private lands. No data is available regarding the import
and export of wood and wood products in the division.
7.7 Import and export of NTFPs

7.7.1 Tamarind, Maradi and Seethaphal are the important locally important NTFPs available in
the forests of the division (para 7.4.1). Besides domestic market, tamarind is mostly sent to
Bangalore and Chennai where it is further processed and marketed after value addition.
Seethaphala is exported to Bangalore besides being consumed locally. Medicinal plants are sold
in varied forms both in the local market and international market. Eucalyptus is mainly
consumed as pulpwood and viscose material. Since the quantity of the above products that is
traded is not substantial no assessment of the transaction is made.
7.7.2 Lines of export: Transport by roads is the chief means of transit of forest products. The
National Highways account for 105 kms, whereas the State Highways operate 562 kms apart
from 1904 kms of Major District Roads, 2050 kms of village roads, 2084 kms of Taluk
Development Board roads and 79 kms of forest roads. With rapid strides being made in the field
of transport and communication movement of forest products is not at all a problem.
73
7.7.3 The Bangalore-Pune section of the railways passes through the district for 98 kilometers.
This section of the railways is operated by the South Western Railways. The railway line enters
the district near Nandihalli in Tumkur taluk and leaves the district between Honnavalli Road and
Arasikere. The railway stations in the district are Hirehalli, Kyatsandra, Tumkur, Mallasandra,
Gubbi, Nittur, Sampige Road, Ammasandra, Banasandra, Aralaguppe, Karadi, Tiptur and
Honnavalli road. Movement of forest products by rail is minimal and insignificant except for
transport of iron ore and manganese from Ammasandra rail head.
7.8 Removal of fodder

7.8.1 Though grazing is a common phenomenon in all the forest blocks, it is more pronounced
in the forests of Bukkapatana range where sheep belonging to nomads and graziers from the
north penn their cattle inside the forests. Though accurate number is not available it is estimated
that about 40,000 to 50,000 sheep graze in the forests daily during May-December (para 4.4.2).
No mechanism is in place to quantify the removal of fodder.
7.9 Valuation of the products
7.9.1 The seigniorage rates in force for the year 2014 and 2015, sanctioned by the Principal
Chief Conservator of forests for various forest products is given in the following table

CHAPTER-8
8. MAINTAINANCE AND ENHANCEMENT OF SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, CULTURAL

AND SPIRITUAL BENEFITS
8.1 JFM committees and area protected by them
8.1.1 In pursuance of the National Forest Policy and in compliance with the Government orders
no. AHFF 232 FAP 86 dated 12-04-1993, No. FEE-94-FAP-93 dated 16-12-1996 and FEE-50-
FAP-2000 dated 19-06-2002 Joint Forest Management and Planning (JFPM) is being
implemented in the division. The program is strengthened with the introduction of section 31-A
in the Karnataka Forest Act, 1963, wherein provision is made for the constitution of VFC’s.
Further, the externally aided projects like the KSFMBC and the National Afforestation Project
(NAP) funded FDA projects have stressed upon the importance of JFM. Under this program the
residents of the villages in the vicinity of the forests are formed into a committee for the
development and protection of forests. The Village forest committee (VFC) is associated with
various aspects of forest protection, development and management starting from planning till
harvest and sharing of produce. The first VFC in the division was formed in Boodagavi village
of Koratgere Range and was registered on 8-11-1995. So far 213 village forest committees have
been formed in the division up to 31-03-2008. Over 20,600 hectares of forest land is under
JFPM.
8.1.2 The particulars of Village Forest Committees and their extent under JFPM is given in
Appendix-20.
8.1.3 The JFM areas are marked in the respective range administrative maps in 1:50,000 scale
and are given in Plate 1 to 11. The soft copies of the same are also available.
8.1.4 Tree Patta Scheme: Tree patta scheme is an innovative scheme conceived by the
Government of Karnataka in order to consolidate on the gains of the JFPM process. The feature
of the scheme is to grant “tree pattas” to the adjoining land holders. The scheme provides for
protection of trees by the roadsides, canal banks and other similar areas; provides for sharing of
produce between the beneficiaries and the Government respectively. The beneficiaries are
entitled to 100% usufructs provided they protect the trees. The final harvest will be shared in the
ratio 75:25 between the beneficiaries and the Government. A nominal rent of Rs.10 per tree and
87
Rs.5 per tree will be charged from the tree patta holder for slow growing species and fast
growing species respectively. So far pattas have been issued to 3066 beneficiaries covering
11,113 trees from 1994-95 to 2004-05. Range-wise particulars are given below:

Total 3066 11,113
8.1.5 However, the scheme appears to have lost its momentum after 2005-06 wherein there is
not much progress in issuing tree pattas. This scheme needs to be revived for the benefit of the
community and the State.
8.2 Status of empowerment of JFMCs
8.2.1 Status of JFPM in the Division: Though reasonable progress has been achieved so far in
implementing the JFPM program there is a need to consolidate on the gains and to further
intensify the activities. Most of the Village Forest Committees formed during the initial years
have either become defunct or have remained inactive. Some exist only by name. In many cases,
the members of the VFCs are not sufficiently aware of the roles and responsibilities resulting in
low or even non-participation. Many VFCs are not self-reliant since the assets created are
very meager and not substantial. Such committees need to be rejuvenated. Revision of micro
plans in some VFCs is long overdue. Micro plans have not been drawn in case of 19 VFCs. Even
where micro plans have been drawn, the planning process is hasty and is done on adhoc basis
88
just to satisfy certain project guidelines. The anomaly needs to be set right while revising the
micro plans. The following table gives a fair indication of the status of VFCs.
 No. of VFCs constituted ---- 213

 No. of VFCs not having a micro plan ---- 19
 VFCs that need revision of micro plan ---- 194
8.2.2 However, the launching of this program has been a major breakthrough in the involvement
of local communities including women in the management of forests.
8.3 Labour welfare
8.3.1 Labour supply is adequate. There is no dearth of labour for various departmental activities
except when forestry works coincide with the season of sowing and reaping when there is a high
demand for seasonal labor. Though forestry works are labour intensive, not much labour is
engaged directly by the department. Forestry works are generally carried out by inviting tenders
or by piece work system as per the provisions of The Karnataka Forest Code (KFC) and The
Karnataka Forest Accounts Code (KFAC). It is mandatory for the forest contractor to follow the
prevailing labour welfare acts like – Contract Labour Act, Payment of Wages Act,
Workmen’s Compensation Act, Minimum Wages Act, etc. It is obligatory on the part of the
forest contractor to take necessary safety precautions so that no untoward incidence occurs on
account of negligence during execution of works. The forest contractor is indemnified to that
extent.
8.3.2 Daily rated workers on the Rolls: Apart from the general establishment there are 137
daily rated workers engaged on muster rolls. The issue of daily wage workers had become
contentious till recently. Many workers approached the Karnataka Administrative Tribunal
(KAT) and the Hon’ble Supreme Court regarding regularisation of their services. The
Government issued guidelines to verify their claims and to continue their services till their claims
of regularisation of services are finalized (Judgment of the KAT dated 11-03-2003). Certain
other guidelines was also laid down in the Government orders dated 6-8-1990 and 20-10-1994
regarding regularisation of daily wage workers appointed on or before 1-07-1984. According to
the Government orders the daily wage workers need to fulfill the following conditions for
regularisation.
89
 The daily wage worker should have been appointed on or before 01-07-
1984.
 The daily wage worker should be in continuous service beyond 1-07-1984
till 6-08-1990 (till the date of no.DPAR/2/SLC 1990 dated 6-08-1990).
 The age limit of the daily wage worker should be within 60 years as on 6-
08-1990.
 The daily wage worker should have been and should have continued on
whole time basis till 6-08-1990.
 The number of days worked by the daily wage worker should be 240 days
per year or 2400 days in 10 years.
 Further, the matter related to regularisation of the services of the workers
who have been appointed after 1-07-1984 is pending before the Hon’ble
Supreme court. This matter has relevance to the Civil appeal No.3595-
3612/1999 and related cases pending before the constitution bench.
8.3.3 The Government of Karnataka, with a view to provide for welfare of daily wage
employees working for more than 10 years in various establishments, has enacted The Karnataka
Daily wage Employees Welfare Act during 2012 and has also framed certain rules (The
Karnataka Daily wage Employees Welfare Rules-2013) that aim at labour welfare. Accordingly
certain daily wage workers are entitled to benefits like dearness allowance, holidays, exgratia
etc.
8.3.4 Wage rates: The schedule of rates operating in the State for forestry works has prescribed
a wage rate of Rs.259 per day for the time rated unskilled worker. However, this does not
compare favorably with the prevailing market rates of around Rs.300 to 350 per day.
8.4 Use of indigenous knowledge
8.4.1 The villages around Devarayanadurga and Siddarabetta (Kolikal forest block) are known
for traditional health healing practices. Many traditional health healers administer various
medicines obtained from the forests, in human and veterinary health. Plant species like Aloe vera
(Lolesara), Rauvolfia serpentina (Sarpagandha), Gymnema sylvestris (Madhunashini), Cissus
90
quadrangularis (Mangare) are some of the important plants that are popular among local health
healers. The traditional health healers keep their knowledge of usage to themselves and do not
part with any information. However, efforts are made to incorporate and document the
indigenous traditional knowledge in the micro-plans of the Village Forest Committees.
8.5 Extent of cultural-sacred groves
8.5.1 The inhabitation around the forests have an umbilical linkage with certain trees like Aegle
marmelos, Terrminalia bellirica that are greatly revered. Certain areas were set apart by the erst
whilerulers, as “gundthopus”. The practice of worshiping “Muniyappa” in tree groves is
widely prevalent in the district. However, no records are available as to the exact number and
extent of such areas. The work of finalizing Peoples’ Biodiversity Registers (PBRs) as required
under the Biodiversity Act is being taken up by the Karnataka Biodiversity Board and it is
expected that a realistic estimate may become available once the PBRs are prepared.
8.6 Eco-tourism areas and activities
8.6.1 The enchanting wilderness of Devarayanadurga and Siddarabetta forests and the
Jayamangali Blackbuck Conservation area at Mydanahalli and Surigenahalli and Yadavanahalli
in Gubbi range are some of the places of eco-tourism importance. The rugged and imposing
cliffs in Devarayanadurga and Siddarabetta attract lot of people who are interested in exploring
the wilderness, rock climbing, adventurous sports and trekking. People especially from the State
capital Bangalore, which is about 70 km away, throng these places during the weekends and
return home with happy memories. The herbal garden at Namadhachilume, is one of the centers
of attraction. The deer park at Namadhachilume, is the cynosure of kids and elders alike.
Namadhachilume in Devarayanadurga forests is associated with the epic “Ramayana”. The type
of tourists who visit and the factors affecting the potential for eco-tourism in Namadhachilume,
Devarayanadurga and Siddarabetta are given in the following tables.

8.6.2 Infrastructure and amenities to the visitors is rather poor. Certain infrastructure like
availability of potable water, eateries, adequate trekking paths, etc. need to be provided to
promote eco-tourism.
8.7 Social customs
8.7.1 Tumkur district is dotted with numerous temples and is aptly called “The land of
temples”. Most of the temples especially those dedicated to Lord Ranganatha and other
avatharas of Lord Vishnu at the top of the hills amidst the forests. Many devotes throng these
temples as a part of their social customs on appointed days where the “Jathras” are observed. A
strange but true feeling among some of the devotees is that after observing the jathras and going
home they set fire to the forest in the belief that the Lord will be appeased by torching the hills.
92
This custom is prevalent after Dussera and up to Ugadi at a time the forests are most vulnerable
to fire.
8.8 Status of compliance of Forest Right Act (FRA)
8.8.1 No cases of forest dwelling scheduled tribes and other traditional forest dwellers having a
stake in “Community forest resources” within the purview of the Scheduled Tribes and other
Traditional forest dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 are reported. As such the
registration and settlement of claims does not arise.
8.9 Other rights and concessions
8.9.1 Rights and Concessions admitted: The rights admitted in the reserved forests are mostly
right of way over forest roads, cart tracks and foot paths, right to water sources and the right to
worship in the shrines situated in the forests. Such rights are recorded in the proceedings during
the course of forest settlement and are admitted as detailed in the individual notifications.
However, over the years many of the cart tracks and foot paths have fallen into disuse or
have changed their courses and therefore do not tally exactly with the description
contained in the notifications. The rights and concessions granted on the reserved forests have
helped the Forest Department in enlisting the co-operation of people in protection of forests in
general and protection from fire in particular. The exercise of rights and privileges are governed
as per the provisions of the Karnataka Forest Act, 1963, Karnataka Forest Rules, 1969 and the
Karnataka Forest Manual, 1976.
8.10 Dependency of local people on NTFPs
8.10.1 The NTFP profile of the division including the important species, their availability and
trading practices etc. are discussed in para 7.4 and 7.7. With the introduction of Joint Forest
Planing and management the stakes of the community over NTFPs are more pronounced and are
detailed in the respective micro-plans.
8.10.2 Except for certain Medar societies that are registered, as per the provisions of the
Registration of Societies Act, 1960 the status of gatherers, traders and other stake holders is by
enlarge unorganized.

9.2 Status of approved working plan and compliance
9.2.1 A review of Sri. Range Gowda’s plan 2001-02 to 2010-11: The plan focused mainly
on protection, conservation and enrichment of the natural forests recognizing the need of
their role in ensuring environmental stability and ecological balance. The forests were
allotted among the following working circles.
 Protection and Afforestation Working circle - 102018.59 hectares.

 Plantation Working circle - 8228.00 hectares.
 Sandalwood Working circle - Overlapping.
 MFP Working circle - Overlappimg.
9.2.2 Protection and Afforestation Working circle: About 90% of the forest area was
allotted to this working circle. Emphasis was on protection of forests rather than planting
activities. The prescribed treatment included protection from fire, diffused planting of hardy
and indigenous species and tending operations. No extraction of timber and fuel barring
collection of NTFP’s was prescribed. The plan did not quantify the area for aided natural
regeneration. Regeneration works were taken up including various models of protection and
natural regeneration under KSFMBC and FDA projects. However, the regeneration activity
was dependent on the allocation of funds. An extent of 4291.5 hectares were taken up for
regeneration during the previous plan period. However, the regeneration activity was
dependent on the allocation of funds.
Annual regeneration targets and achievements under this working circle is tabulated as
below.

Soil and moisture conservation works were an integral part of regeneration activities.
Mechanical and vegetative structures like nalabunds, checkdams, eathernbunds and gully
checks were constructed at strategic locations to arrest soil erosion and impound water.
Particulars of the soil and moisture conservation works that were taken up during the
previous plan period spilling over up to 2014-15 as follows.
 Percolation tanks – 109467.72 m3

 Percolation ponds – 147 nos
 Gully checks – 111405.03 m3
 Check dams – 111 nos
 Nalabunds – 259 nos
 Desilting of tanks – 13 nos
9.2.3 Plantation working circle: The working circle included 8228.00 hectares of Eucalyptus
and mixed fuel wood plantations that were proposed for harvest followed by coppice
regeneration .The rotation age was 10 years for all the plantations. Some of the Acacia,
Casuarina and mixed plantation (4109.40 hectares) were prescribed for replanting. It was
prescribed that plantations shall not be harvested if it was not possible to plant up the area the
following year. Eucalyptus plantations were prescribed for replanting after third rotation.
Planting of miscellaneous species like Kamara, Honge, Tamarind and Neem were prescribed to
be introduced while taking up replanting. On verification of the control forms made available it
96
is observed that harvesting was not taken up as scheduled. Only 2605.00 hectares were harvested
against the prescribed extent of 8228.00 hectares. The KSFIC Ltd. to whom the plantations were
allotted for harvest did not take up the harvest timely for their own administrative reasons. It
appears that M/s KSFIC is selective in harvesting of plantations. Only such plantations that are
better stocked and yielded higher outturn are harvested. It was also given to understand that the
plantations were not harvested as per the schedule since the harvesting was not viable because of
very poor stock. As against the replanting target of 4109.40 hectares, 3260.00 hectares were
planted between 2000-01 and 2009-10 (para 6.4.1). Eucalyptus, Acacia auriculiformis,
Hardwickia binata were the main species that was planted.
Annual harvesting and replanting targets and achievement under the working circle is
tabulated as below.

9.2.4 Sandal wood overlapping working circle: All sandal bearing areas were brought
under the working circle with an objective to augment the productivity of sandal by
protecting the existing stock and to take up artificial regeneration by dibbling and planting.
No harvesting was prescribed. Dead trees, trees affected by spike disease, stumps and roots
of trees felled illicitly were prescribed for extraction. However, the possible out turn was not
quantified. The regeneration activity was not quantified.
97
About 132.00 hectares of Sandal rich forest blocks in Kunigal, Gubbi, Koratagere ranges
were intensively treated by planting and seed dibbling. The select forest blocks were
cordoned off by providing chain linked mesh fencing. No extraction was taken up during the
plan period.

9.2.5 MFP overlapping working circle: All the forests of the division were brought under
this working circle with an objective to augment the productivity of NTFPs. Methodology for
tender-cum auction sales was set forth. It was also prescribed to stock map the forest areas
rich in Terminalia chebula, Tamarindus indica, Buchanania lanzan. Regeneration and
harvesting targets were not fixed. NTFPs like Tamarindus indica, Annona squamosa,
Buchanania lanzan were harvested biannually (para 7.4.4).

9.2.6 Key learnings: Analyses of the compliance of Sri Range Gowda’s plan (para 9.2.1 to
9.2.5) revealed that the harvesting schedule in plantation working circle was not followed, for
reasons cited at para 9.2.3. Though launching of JFPM has been a major breakthrough in the
involvement of local communities in the management of forests the programme needs to be
consolidated and most of the VFC’s need to be rejuvenated (para 8.2.1). However, on a positive
note, being the first composite working plan for the division the plan set a new trend in scientific
forest management consistent with the National Forest Policy 1988. Biodiversity conservation
gained importance over exploitation. There is a marked improvement in soil moisture status
( para 5.1.2).
99
9.3 Number of forest offences
9.3.1 Over 3200 cases were booked during the previous plan period (2001-02 to 2010-11) for
breach of the forest laws and rules in force. Offences related to forest fire accounted for 0.52%
(17 no), offences related to unauthorized felling, removal of timber and other forest produce
accounted for 8.41% (273 no), offences related to encroachment accounted for 8.44% (274 no).
All other petty offences accounted for 79.69% (2586 no). Offences related to unauthorized
grazing and sandal wood were at a minimum.

9.4 Status of Research and Development
9.4.1 Though a research range is functioning in Tumkur (para 3.5.1), the research activities and
the findings are not exclusive to forests of Tumkur division. However, the results of the tree
improvement programmes especially are made use of in the production of quality planting
materials (QPM) in the nurseries. Tumkur division is well known for the production of quality
Tamarind seedlings.
100
9.4.2 Alale (Terminalia chebula) is an important NTFP occurring in the forests of the division
especially in Kunigal range. The wild population is dwindling at an alarming rate. The research
wing has to address the issues connected with raising quality seedlings since, the nursery
technique is not standardized. The research wing has identified about eleven plus trees at
Kunchanahalli near Huliyurdurga in Kunigal range. These trees have the potential to yield
quality seeds.
9.5 Human resource capacity building efforts
9.5.1 The human resource capacity building plan is formulated at “ Aranya Bhavan, Bangalore”,
the seat of administration of forest department in Karnataka. As a part of this plan regular
training is being imparted to the ministerial staff manning the offices as well as frontline staff in
the field regarding the capacity building and the skill up gradation with respect to recent
developments in the field of forestry, accountancy, book keeping etc. Candidates are regularly
sent to the District Training Institute as well as to the Forest Technical and Administrative
Training Institute (FTATI), Kadugodi, Bangalore.
9.6 Forest resource accounting
9.6.1 No data is available regarding the Natural Resource Accounting with specific reference to
forestry in the district. However, the statistics contained in the document “Natural Resource
Accounting in Karnataka- A study of the land and the forestry sector” (study covering 8 districts-
Davangere, Dharwad, Chikmagalore, Kodagu, Hassan, Shimoga, Uttar Kannada and Dakshina
Kannada), done by the Central Statistical Organization indicates the share of the forestry services
to the State’s Domestic Product (SDP). Accordingly, the share of various forestry services to the
State’s Domestic Product (SDP) during 2002-03 is quantified as follows:
 Forestry and logging - 1.68%.

 Unrecorded value of NTFPs - 1.45%.
 Grazing services - below 0.5%.
 Recreational value of forests - 0.02%.
 Carbon content in the forests - 14.6%.
 Share of medicinal plants - 0.01%.
 Watershed benefits of forests - 0.04%.
 Sacred groves - 0.002%.
Total 18.302%
101
9.7 Budgetary allocations to the forestry sector
9.7.1 Most of the activity is centered on developmental works. Protection and development of
degraded forests, afforestation and soil conservation works and overhead expenditure for
establishment accounts for the major portion of the expenditure.
9.7.2 The particulars of the annual revenue and expenditure from 2001-02 to 2010-2011 is given
in Table-20.

Total 868.22 4937.16
9.7.3 The progressive increase in expenditure from 2005-06 onwards is attributed to the
implementation of various schemes like Karnataka Sustainable Forestry Management and
Biodiversity Conservation (KSFMBC) Project assisted by JICA, NAP funded FDA project etc.
9.8 Existence of monitoring, assessment and reporting mechanism

9.8.1 The Karnataka Forest Code, 1976 stipulates that the results of work done as per the
prescriptions of the Working Plan be recorded in various control forms given below.
 Form 3: Control Book (Register of yield and outturns). Rule 51(1).
 Form 4: Control Book for Working Plans. Rule 51(1).
 Form 5: Record of works of Maintenance, Reproduction, Improvement and Protection.
Rule 51(2).
Recording the results in the control forms is not upto the mark. The relevant columns are not
appropriately filled.
102
9.9 Public Awareness and Education
9.9.1 The division has tried to instill a sense of awareness amongst the masses to create
awareness and dissemination of information regarding the need for protection and conservation
of forests, wildlife and environment and also to project the policies and services of the forest
department. Various activities like exhibitions, awareness programmes in schools and colleges
are conducted. The forest department establishes a stall at Srikshethra Sidhaganga near
Kyathasandra where annual fair is held regularly. This stall showcases various activities of the
forest department. Video shows on the importance of conservation of forests and wildlife are
displayed during the exhibition. This stall continues to be the centre of attraction every year and
is well received by the public. Awareness material in the form of posters, pamphlets and
hoardings are displayed for the benefit of people especially during the celebration of
Vanamahothsava during the first week of July and Wildlife week during the first week of
October. Considering that the forests of the division are very vulnerable to fire. Pamphlets
containing the “do’s” and “don’ts” are distributed with an earnest request to the public to refrain
from any activity that may kindle forest fires. The support of the Village Forest Committes and
other eco-clubs is also enlisted. Krishi Aranya Prothsaha Yojane an innovative program of the
forest department to further the cause of farm-forestry is being advertised in radio, print and
electronic media.
9.10 Adequacy of manpower in forest division
9.10.1 Administrative setup and establishment: Administratively Tumkur Forest Division is

attached to Hassan Forest Circle. The division is headquartered at Tumkur which is also the
district headquarters. The Forest Division is headed by an Officer of the rank of Deputy
Conservator of Forests. The Deputy Conservator of Forests is assisted by officers of the rank of
103
Assistant Conservators of Forests at the sub-divisional level. There are three subdivisions with
headquarters at Tumkur, Tiptur and Madhugiri. There are ten ranges with headquarters at
Bukkapatna, Chikkanayakanahalli, Gubbi, Koratgere, Kunigal, Madhugiri, Pavagada, Sira,
Tiptur and Tumkur headed by Range Forest Officers. The following chart indicates the
administrative setup of Tumkur Forest Division up to Range level:

Forest Department and is benefitted by their acumen and vision. The incumbency particulars of
the Divisional Forest Officers are given in Appendix-22.
9.10.4 Although the strength above the level of Range Forest Officer is adequate the strength of
field level personnel is rather inadequate to meet the present day challenges of forest
conservancy. Besides filling up the vacancies, ten additional posts of Deputy Range Forest
officers- cum- surveyors need to be sanctioned one for each range, primarily to look into forest
boundary consolidation issues.

CHAPTER-10
10. FIVE YEAR PLANS
10.1 Planning process
10.1.1 This chapter intends to throw some light on the impact of Five Year Plans on attainment
of management objectives and conservation of natural forests. In the past the allocation of funds
for forestry works in the district was not exactly need based. It was not based on the extent and
condition of the forests. The allocation to the district depended upon the allocation of funds for
forestry works for the entire State as indicated by the Planning department. The Forest
department had to plan schemes depending upon priority of works and availability of funds. This
was basically a top down approach where the funds became the deciding factor. As such the
entire need of forestry sector was not really met. The situation improved slightly with the
implementation of Externally Aided Projects like The Forestry and Environment Project for
Eastern Plains of Karnataka (FEPEPK) and the Karnataka Sustainable Forest Management and
Bio-diversity Conservation Project (KSFMBC). Though the planning of these projects was
conceived as “bottom-up approach” in effect, they remained as examples of “partial bottom up
approach” as far as allocation of funds was concerned. The activities had to be accommodated
within the total funds allocated. To sum up it can be concluded that forestry works in the district
received a raw deal notwithstanding the fact that the condition of some forest blocks improved.
10.1.2 First five year plan to Fourth five year plan (1951-1974): During the initial years soil
conservation assumed importance. Several schemes had been proposed to conserve soil and
moisture. Contour bunding, maintenance of bunds, land utilization, survey of waste lands,
afforestation and planting of hedges in areas vulnerable to soil erosion were some of the
important measures pursued in the district. It is recorded that out of total geographical area
10,598.00 hectares an extent of only 43,776 hectares (4.13%) was under forests in 1965-66.
During the First Five Year plan, an extent of 228.65 hectare was afforested at a cost of Rs.
15,696. During the Second Plan period, soil conservation works was done in an area of 1965.00
hectares at a cost of Rs. 2,94,255 and rehabilitation of degraded forests was done over an area of
995.00 hectares at a cost of Rs.1,99,668. New plantations were also raised over an area of 68.79
hectares at an expenditure of Rs.10, 066 and planting of Agaves was done over a length of six
106
miles and three furlongs. A sum of Rs.8.90 lakhs was allocated to the district under the Third
Plan for the implementation of several schemes.
10.1.3 Fifth five year plan to Eighth five year plan (1974-1997): Not much is recorded
pertaining to activities during Fourth and Fifth Plans. The financial allocations made for
implementation of forestry works from the Fifth Plan to the Eighth Plan is given in the following
table.

During the period various schemes were implemented. They are:
Central Sector Schemes:
 Minor Forest Produce
 Seed Development
 Development of Fodder, Grasses and Legumes
 Blackbuck Sanctuary in Madhugiri.
 Integrated Afforestation and Eco-development Project.
 Tribal Sub-plan (central)
 Special Component Plan.
Centrally sponsored schemes:

 Area Oriented Fuel and Fodder.
 State schemes:
 Nature Conservation.
 Development of Degraded Forests.
 Greening of Urban Areas.
 Forest Protection.
 Roadside Plantations.
 Raising of Seedlings for Public Distribution.
 Eco-Tourism.
 Buildings.
Externally aided projects:

 Forestry and Environment Project for Eastern Plains of Karnataka [FEPEPK]
 Karnataka Sustainable Forest Management and Bio-diversity Conservation Project
[KSFMBC].
10.1.4 Ninth five year plan (1997-2002): During the Ninth Five year Plan, forestry in the
district received a shot in the arm with the implementation of Forestry and Environment Project
for Eastern plains of Karnataka (FEPEPK). The project was assisted by JICA (Japan
International Co-operation Agency). JICA was formerly known as OECF (Overseas Economic
co-operation Fund of Japan) and JBIC (Japan Bank of International Co-operation).
108
Project profile: The project objectives were, to preserve the unique and economically sensitive
areas of eastern plains, to follow environmentally sound management of land, water and other
natural resources including rehabilitation and protection of natural forests and to ensure
sustainable use of land and other natural resources by setting up participatory process of planning
and management. The management of resources and sharing of benefits are sought to be
achieved through the process of Joint Forest Planning and management (JFPM). Five key zones
were identified with corresponding management objectives.

important and wild life potential areas
II Main forest protection Ecological and Economic

III Main forest Production Ecological, Economic and local needs
IV Non-Forest Production Production, Economic, local needs
V Farm Forestry (Private land-holdings) Production, economic, local needs
Thirteen planting models were developed for different approaches identified above. They
were:
Model 01: Management of ecologically sensitive, archaeologically important, wildlife potential
areas – Unique and typical areas were consolidated, protected and documented for future studies.
The main components were protection from fire, cattle damage and illicit cutting. Ancient
monuments were protected from vandalism.
Model 02: Natural regeneration – Vegetation in these areas is both valuable and useful, but had
suffered due to excessive biotic pressure. Very low or no investment was done in the past. These
areas had the potential to be developed into highly economic and productive natural stands. The
main components were again protection from grazing, fire and illicit cuttings. Enrichment
planting of local species was done wherever necessary.
Model 03: Trench mound-cum-pit plantations – This model intended to develop productive areas
in Zone III and IV by resorting to artificial regeneration by trench mound planting, pit planting
or a mixture of both depending on the terrain.
109
Model 04: Mechanical plantations – In substance this model was similar to Model-03 except that
machines were used for site preparation instead of manual earthwork.
Model 05: Irrigated bamboo plantations – This model intended to augment the production of
bamboo in good productive areas in Zone III and IV by taking up bamboo plantations.
Model 06: Irrigated bamboo and teak plantations – The model intended to put up best available
sites in Zone III and IV under a mixture of bamboo and teak.
Model 07: Irrigated MFP farms – Tamarind orchards and Jack fruit orchards were raised.
Model 08: Fore shore plantations – Tank foreshores were put to productive use. Under this
model species like Acacia nilotica, Milletia pinnata and bamboo were planted.
Model 09: Strip plantations – Available area by the roadsides, railway lines and canal sides were
planted.
Model 10: Urban forestry – Ornamental and shade giving species were planted in towns.
Model 11: Institutional planting – Institutional lands like schools, hospitals, religious places,
grave yards etc. were planted with suitable species.
Model 12: Development of tanks, parks and recreation spots in urban areas.
Model 13: Farm forestry – seedlings of choice were distributed to farmers for planting in their
farm lands, backyards etc.
The financial allocations made for implementation of forestry works in Ninth Five year plan is

10.1.5 Over 18000 hectares were treated in the division during the Ninth Plan at an expenditure
of Rs.1176.39 lakhs. The project spilled over to the Tenth plan where another 817 lakhs were
spent. The project was implemented in all the ranges of the division as well as other forestry
sector.
10.1.6 Tenth Five year plan to Twelfth Five year plan (2002-2017): During the Tenth Five
year plan a new scheme titled the “National Afforestation Program” (NAP) was formulated by
the merger of four centrally sponsored afforestation schemes that were operative during the
Ninth plan. With a view to reduce the multiplicity of schemes with similar objectives and to
ensure uniformity in funding pattern and implementation the following schemes were merged.
- Integrated Afforestation and Eco-development Project (IAEP).

- Area Oriented Fuel and Fodder program (AOFF).
- Conservation and Development of Non-timber forest produce (NTFP).
- Association of Schedule Tribes and Rural Poor in regeneration of Degraded forests
(ASTRP).
The resultant NAP was operated by the National Afforestation and Eco-development
Board (NAEB) of the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The scheme was implemented by
the Tumkur Forest Division between 2002-03 to 2006-07 by involving a two-tier setup namely
the Forest Development Agency (FDA) and the Village Forest Committee (VFC). An extent of
2000 hectares was tackled under the models specified by the NAEB at an expenditure of Rs.
446.91 lakhs.
10.1.7 Implementation of the Karnataka Sustainable Forest Management and Bio-diversity

Conservation Project (KSFMBC) was yet another milestone during the Tenth plan. The project
objectives were to bring about ecological restoration and also to improve the livelihood of the
inhabitants of the project villages by afforestation through JFPM process. Broadly, the activities
undertaken in the division are natural regeneration, assisted natural regeneration, production of
fuel wood and small timber, NTFP plantations, school plantations, tree based farming, soil and
water conservation, income generation activities and support activities for forest management.
The project was implemented in the division from 2005-06. So far (2007-08) 2074 hectares have
been tackled under different models at an expenditure of 535.81 lakhs.
111
10.1.8 With the infusion of substantial funds during the last decade for forestry works, forestry
and farm forestry sectors have done reasonably well.

10.1.9 Social forestry: During the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth plans, social forestry transcended
the traditional boundaries of reserve forests and predominantly aimed at farm forestry. A
separate division was created during 1984 and is functioning under the Tumkur Zilla Panchayat.
From the Sixth Plan onwards substantial firewood resources were created by raising fuel wood
plantations. The main objectives of social forestry are production, rural development and
ecological improvement by tree planting. Its objective is to produce fuel, fodder, small timber
and other NTFPs to meet the needs of the rural population. It has a rural development focus and
is heavily dependent on the active participation of the people. The resources created are shared,
regenerated and expanded by the village community.

CHAPTER-11
11. PAST SYSTEMS OF MANAGEMENT
11.1 General history of the forests
11.1.1 Forests were revered by the people from times immemorial. Historical accounts describe
that the tract formed a part of the great Dandakaranya forest of Ramayana fame. Many shrines
have come up in the forests. Indications are available that the forests were denser in the past and
supported substantial tree growth that has since disappeared. Massive clearance of forests could
be traced back to around 1500 AD, when the Kings permitted the local chieftains who reared
numerous herds of cattle to clear the forests and to set up villages and bring the land under
cultivation. Though scientific forest conservancy is being practiced since 1865, it was only in
bits and pieces. Under the British rule forests were worked with a view to obtain required yields
from preferred tree species. The crop was manipulated to gradually replace the original natural
stand thereby altering the very nature of forests. Revenue earning was a primary responsibility of
management. Over the years ad hoc management decisions have over ridden sane and scientific
treatments. Forest exploitation was planned and executed only for the benefit of the immediate
present. Large areas were tapped to cater to the needs of the railways in addition to meeting the
heavy local demand for fuel. The forests around Tumkur were heavily pressed for supply of
firewood, charcoal, poles, tent poles and pegs etc. this trend continued till the end of the
Nineteenth Century and the forests suffered a great deal in the absence of systematic
management. Provisional schemes were drawn up and later on some working plans were also
written to manage the forests.
11.2 Past system of management and their results
11.2.1 Most of the forests of the present Tumkur division were not worked systematically. Out
of 141 blocks of notified forests only 11 blocks had working plans. Two blocks came up for
revision in 1962 and the remaining 9 came up for revision in 1966. Devarayanadurga group of
forests which has a management history dating back to 1853 and Manchaldore-Ippadi forests
which had management schemes are the only forests that were managed scientifically. However,
for the last 40 years, the division has had no approved working plan. Range Gowda’s plan (2001-
2010) can be said to be the first composite Working plan for the entire division.
113
11.2.2 Working of Devarayandurga group of forests: (pre-working plan period) The
Devarayandurga group of forests were constituted as “reserve forest” between 1863 and 1869.
This area of nearly 11 square miles and 498 acres was divided into four unequal parts by block
lines. The establishment responsible for management of the area comprised of a forester and six
watchers. Subsequently in 1877, a head watcher was added. In 1879, the topographical survey of
a portion of the area was conducted and a map of 4”:1 mile was prepared. Due to the
amalgamation of the district forests and reserved forests effected during 1881 nearly 10 square
miles of forest land including the gomal lands of neighboring villages were added. As this fresh
inclusion was hotly contested by the farmers, the revised settlement concluded in 1898 put a stop
to all complaints. It is recorded that the forest department had been increasingly removing the
forest produce from these forests even after the area was constituted as reserved forest. A sale
depot was established for the first time in 1874 at Belagumba where fuel and bamboos were sold
at Rs.1-50 per cart load and Re.0.50 per 100 respectively. This depot was shifted and closed
few times before it was made permanent in 1895. The selling rate was reduced from 12 to 1 paise
per mound. The depot was abolished finally in April 1910. It is also recorded that 8000 tons of
firewood was supplied to the railways from 1883 to 1889 by marking trees in the diameter class
3”-9”. The whole forest was likewise exploited. The coppice growth became defective as
coppicing work was not done properly. Sandal was also reportedly extracted on a large scale for
10 years from 1889. In 1882, the forest was roughly divided into compartments after a detailed
inspection and improvement fellings were introduced. The converted wood was sent to Tumkur
for sale. To set right the illegal grazing incidents the forest was thrown open for grazing except
for the worked out coupes by levying fee for grazing. The sale of right to collect minor forest
produce was stopped in 1886-87 and departmental collection was organized.
11.2.3 Period of Systematic Working: The Working Plans (1899-1962): This period is marked
by certain welcome changes in the method of working. Ad hoc forest working under annual plan
of operations and provisional working schemes gave way to working plans. The first Working
Plan authored by Sri.M. Venkatanarayanappa was operative for 20 years from 1899 to 1900.
According to this plan the forest was divided into 20 compartments of varying areas. One
compartment was taken up for improvement each year. A special arrangement for teak felling
was made by clubbing the areas occupied by teak in different compartments into 5 groups and
providing for very light and cautious improvement felling. The plan expired during 1919-20. It
114
was found that the fellings did not follow a regular sequence as the compartments were extensive
in area and irregularly distributed on ground. By the end of the plan period certain areas were
found to contain sound and somewhat vigorous re-growth whereas others were invaded by
Lantana suppressing the regeneration. Improvement operations like climber cutting, thinning,
clearing etc. that were provided in the plan were not carried out.
11.2.4 Sri.M.Venkatanarayanappa’s plan was revised probably by the incumbent Divisional

Forest Officer and came into force in 1922. This plan divided the whole area into 2 working
circles viz. Improvement working circle and Coppice with standards working circle. One of the
treatments prescribed was eradication of Lantana to relieve sandal and other trees of suppression
and restocking the area with more valuable growth by artificial sowing and planting in areas that
were covered by Lantana. The forest was worked over again for firewood, bamboo and small
timber. By about 1925, cultivable areas covered by Lantana were given out for temporary
(Hangami) cultivation under the “Lantana eradication scheme” for a period of 5-6 years. By
1931, the land became free from Lantana. The area was not afforested immediately and as a
result, Lantana re-invaded the area. This scheme was operative till 1932 and was again revised
by the then Divisional Forest Officer during 1932. Five felling series were constituted.
11.2.5 The second detailed and authenticated plan was authored by Dr.K.Kadambi, and was in
force from 1942-1951. Dr.K.Kadambi while commenting on the revised scheme of 1932-1942
remarks that “The silvicultural system prescribed is not indicated in the draft of the plan
available but in practice a few standards of available species were retained and the rest of
the stock coppiced. The plan is incomplete and does not bear the signature of the writer. It
does not seem to have received the requisite sanction of the sanctioning authority”. The
objective of this plan was to bring the whole area infested with Lantana under artificial
regeneration and to avail the advantages of taungya cultivation and to improve the forests with
judicious silvicultural operations. Four working circles Viz. Regeneration Working Circle,
Taungya Working Circle, Firewood Working Circle and Bamboo Working Circle (overlapping)
were constituted. By this plan the management of the forests was systematized as far as possible
and attempts of raising plantations on a large scale were made.
115
11.2.6 Inspite of this carefully drawn up plan the natural forests deteriorated to such an extent
that it became imperative to give them a rest. This was prescribed by Sri.M.W.Palekhanda in his
working plan that was in force from 1952-62. The system of regeneration of area by taungya
method was discontinued since it was a failure and resulted in more blanks and more Lantana
infestation. The forests were allotted between two Working Circles namely, Regeneration
Working Circle and Protection Working Circle. Besides, the working plan prescribed certain
treatment for older plantations.
 Older Eucalyptus plantations that were raised during 1931-32, with an average girth of 2’
were prescribed for felling.
 Sandal trees affected by “spike” disease were prescribed to be uprooted, either burnt or
killed and removed with the application of chemicals.
 The plan prescribed continuation of the lease system for minor forest products.
11.2.7 Working of Bukkapatna and Manchaldore group of forests: A working scheme was
drawn up in 1907 to manage these forests. This scheme was revised in 1933, by Sri.K.Revanna,
the then Working Plan Officer. As there was not much demand for firewood at that time, this
scheme dealt mainly with regulating grazing, working of minor forest produce and prescribed
cultural operations. Bukkapatna and Manchaldore reserved forests were divided into five felling
series under the improvement felling system with a rotation of 30 years and 20 years
respectively. The coupes marked was either unsold or remained un-worked till 1945 because of
poor demand for fuel. From 1945 onwards, there was a surge in the demand for firewood and
charcoal from Bangalore. Kamara and other miscellaneous poles were indented in large
quantities by the Bellara Gold Mines that was commissioned. To meet this sudden demand, the
forests were worked under “Coppice with Standards” system.
11.2.8 The first authenticated working plan for these forests were drawn up by
Sri.M.W.Palekhanda in 1955 and was in force for a period of 10 years. The main objective of the
plan was to ensure sustained supply of timber, fuel, bamboo to Tumkur and Bangalore, to meet
the industrial needs of Bellara Gold mines and tobacco barns of Tavarekere and to ensure
improvement of forests and wildlife. Under this plan, three working circles namely the
116
Regeneration Working Circle, the Firewood Working Circle and the Protection Working circle
were constituted.
11.2.9 Working of Ippadi Reserve Forest: It is recorded that rigid protection for twelve years
after it had constituted as a reserved forest had improved the growth considerably. A
management scheme was drawn up which received the approval of the Chief Conservator of
Forests. The entire forest block was treated as a Working circle. This working circle was divided
into 20 coupes of 90 acres each and was worked under coppice with standards system. Only 12
coupes were worked. Subsequently the forest was neglected and by 1950, had degenerated
beyond redemption because of heavy felling and pollarding.
11.2.10 During the re-organisation of States and thereafter the management of forests is marked
by a sense of complacency. The Working again reverted to ad hoc basis based on annual plan of
operations and individual schemes. This situation continued up to the turn of the new millennium
when Sri.Range Gowda’s plan (2001-2010) came into force.
11.2.11 Extraction of Timber and Firewood: Timber and firewood were not extracted from
natural forests since the last 20 years. Pulpwood and firewood were extracted from certain
Eucalyptus and Acacia plantations. The Government of India had approved a Working scheme
for harvesting 850.50 hectares and 947.50 hectares of Eucalyptus plantations during 1999-2000
and 2000-2001 respectively.
11.2.12 Sri Range Gowda’s Plan: The working plan for Tumkur forest division for the period
from 2001-10 authored by Sri. Range Gowda was sanctioned by the Government of Karnataka
vide Government Order No: FEE 10 FAP 2001, dated: 19-11-2001. By this time the Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India was seized of the situation arising out of writ petition 202/1995,
popularly known as T.N. Godarvarman Thirumalapad Case. In a landmark judgment the Apex
court observed that no forests will be worked without a sanctioned working plan. The results of
working of this plan is given in Chapter-9, para 9.2.pertaining to the status of approved
working plan and compliance.
11.2.13 Working schemes: The plan authored by Sri. Range Gowda expired on 31-03-2011.
There was a brief hiatus during 2011-12 where there was neither a working plan nor an approved
working scheme. A working scheme for the extraction of 1679.66 hectares of Eucalyptus, Acacia
117
and mixed fuel wood plantations was approved for 2012-13. This working scheme provided for
extraction of 1253.60 hectares of plantations that were listed for extraction in the Plantation
Working Circle of the previous plan. In addition 426.06 hectares of certain older plantations that
were inadvertently left out in the previous plan were also included. The working scheme was not
implemented during 2012-13. However, it was revalidated for 2013-14. An extent of 329
hectares of mixed fuel wood plantations was extracted as per the provisions of the working
scheme during 2013-14. The extractions yielded 27.323 m3 of timber, 2827.74 tons of pulpwood
and 1650 tons of fuel wood.
11.12.14 The particulars of extractions carried out during 2013-14 as per the approved working
scheme is given below.

approved activities shall be carried out during the extended period. Only 544.00 hectare of mixed
fuel wood plantations was extracted during 2014-15. The extractions yielded 4545.50 m3 of
pulpwood, and 1417.00 m3 of fuel wood.

11.2.16 Community involvement and the functioning of the Forest Development Agency:
During the Tenth Plan period the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India,
came up with an innovative, decentralized institutional setup namely the Forest Development
Agency (FDA) to implement schemes for the development of forests and people living in and
around forest areas. The Forest Development Agency is registered as a federation of all Joint
Forest Management Committees, in the instant case, the Village Forest Committees. In the
Tumkur Forest Development Agency, a federation of 72 VFCs was registered under the Societies
(Registration) Act 1960 on 26-03-2002 with the Conservator of forests, Hassan Circle as the
chairperson and the Deputy Conservator of Forests being the member-secretary. Implementation
119
of all the activities are conceptualized at the village level thereby building capabilities at the grass
roots level and empowering the people in the decision making process.
11.2.17 The National Afforestation and Eco-development Board (NAEB) of the Ministry of
Environment and Forests, Government of India, had approved a program of work for the division
to treat 2000 hectares of degraded forest land from 2002-03 to 2006-07 at a project cost of
Rs.421.79 lakhs against which Rs. 379.88 lakhs was utilised. The component-wise details are as

11.2.18 Micro planning for all the 72 Village Forest Committees are prepared with active
participation of stake holders and common interest group. Information as to the needs and
opinion of the people was elicited by making use of management tools like Participatory Rural
Appraisal (PRA) and Rapid Rural Appraisal (RRA). Relevant base line data both for entry point
activities and rehabilitation plans was collected for each VFC. Based on the information
120
technical plans were prepared which were later presented to the villagers, debated and finalized
with the approval of village community.
11.2.19 Monitoring and evaluation of the activities of Tumkur Forest Development Agency was
carried out by the Forest Survey of India, Southern Zone, Bangalore during 2004-05 to estimate
the area coverage, survival percentage and to assess the growth parameters of plant species. The
result of data analysis is as below:
1. Parameter Area coverage

Total VFCs : 45
Selected VFCs : 9
Area as per record : 160 hectares
Area as observed : 159.65
Percentage : 99.78
2. Parameter Survival percentage

Total VFCs : 45
Selected VFCs : 9
Survival percentage : 91.46
11.2.20 The Mahatma Gandhi Rural Development and Youth Welfare Centre® who were
entrusted with the midterm evaluation of the National Afforestation Program implemented by the
FDA have listed their findings in their evaluation report.
Positives Negatives
 People are more aware of the forest  VFC functionaries lack awareness of project
resources in some cases
 People’s participation in forest  Some VFCs are not active
development has yielded good results
 Some of the SHGs have become stagnant.
 VFCs have improved the manage-rial skill
among people.
 The concept of EPA is well received
 Improvement in the lifestyle
 Encroached forest land evicted in certain
cases.
121
11.2.21 On the whole the FDA activities have stirred the forest fringe villages out of a slumber
and the gains have to be further consolidated by continuity of programmes and policies enshrined
in the National Afforestation Program.
11.3 Special works of improvement undertaken

11.3.1 Fire protection and improvement in communications: Effective and efficient
communication is a pre-requisite for forest protection especially in controlling forest fires and
forest offences. Rapid strides have been made in deployment of wireless network for control of
forest fire in Tumkur Range. The Devarayanadurga reserve forest, highly prone and susceptible
for forest fire is effectively protected by the use of wireless network. The wireless control room
at the hill top of Devarayandurga co-ordinates the communication with the field subordinates
who carry wireless. This intervention needs to be replicated in all the remaining ranges, for
which the communication network needs to be strengthened by providing wireless gadgets to all
the field subordinates.
11.3.2 Wireless communication infrastructure: The following table gives an indication of the
status of wireless communication in the Division.

11.3.6 Rural development interface-Using forest resources for power generation: Power
generation making use of biomass energy is an innovative approach conceived by the BERI
123
[Bio-mass Energy for Rural India] project which has made forestry popular in the Division. The
project funded by the Global Environment Facility and Co-sponsored by the Government of
India and the Government of Karnataka aims to develop an integrated package for decentralized
power generation and distribution of energy in rural areas by using bio-mass to take care of the
energy needs of population of a typical Indian village. Bio-mass gassifier plants are set up at
Kabbigere village of Koratagere Taluk and Borekunte village of Madhugiri Taluk. The
electricity produced is used locally for irrigation, village industries, drinking water and domestic
lighting. The forest department has raised 819 hectares of plantations between 2003-04 and
2005-06 to cater to the woody biomass requirement for gasification. These plantations are raised
under JFPM concept in 28 cluster villages distributed in Gubbi, Tumkur, Sira, Koratgere and
Madhugiri taluks. Thus forestry in the district is also focusing on providing rural energy services
through bio-energy packages.
11.3.7 Working scheme for extraction of plantations raised under BERI project: Since
plantations under BERI project were raised to cater to the bio mass needs of the gassifiers
extractions had to be programmed accordingly considering the quantity, type and size of the
woody biomass. Generally the woody biomass, up to 2 ½” (10 cm) diameter and 8 cm in length
can be fed into the gassifiers. It has been observed that the plantations would produce the
required woody biomass in about 4 years. Accordingly, the plantations need to be extracted in a
4 year cycle. A working scheme was submitted to the Regional office, Ministry of Environment
and Forests, to harvest 819 hectares of plantations from 2003-04 to 2005-06. The working
scheme was returned by the MOEF with instructions to incorporate a suitable regeneration
schedule. The regeneration schedule was submitted and the approval for the working scheme is
awaited. However, in the 18th meeting of the Project Steering Committee of the BERI project
held on 28-11-2011 in the chambers of the Development Commissioner, Government of
Karnataka, it was resolved that clearance of either the Government of India or the Government of
Karnataka is not required for the working of the plantations raised under this scheme on the
grounds that, it is not a regular forestry operation.
11.3.8 Rural development interface using forest resources for improving economic
conditions of the weaker sections: Special schemes like Special Component plan (SCP) and
Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) are being implemented for improving the economic conditions of SC and
124
ST populations by way of raising social security plantations, supply of LPG, solar lamps etc. has
helped this particular section of the society has reduced the dependence on forests considerably.
The onus is on generation of income and asset creation without detriment to forests. “Raising
village wood lots”, which meet the needs of economically weaker sections,was taken up in a
large scale under TSP and SCP schemes. Eco-development activities in the forest fringe villages
are being promoted to provide better living conditions to the people living around forests.
11.4 Past yield, revenue and expenditure
11.4.1 Particulars regarding the past yield of fuel wood and certain Non Timber Forest Produce
are discussed in para 7.2.1 and 7.4.2 respectively, and particulars regarding revenue and
expenditure are given in para 9.7.

CHAPTER-12
12. STATISTICS OF GROWTH AND YIELD
12.1 Statistics of growth and yield
12.1.1 The volumetric analyses of natural forests reveal that the forests are poorly stocked
with an average volume of 3.031 m3 per hectare (para 3.2.13). Since exploitable timber is not
available the calculation of outturn/yield for various timber species is not done.
12.2 Statistics of forest carbon stock
12.2.1 Data with respect to five carbon pools namely above ground biomass, below ground
biomass, deadwood, litter and soil generated by the Forest Survey of Indiais made use of in
estimating the carbon stock in recorded forest area of Tumkur division. Accordingly, the total
carbon stock is estimated at 124.66 tons per hectare and the total carbon stock in the recorded
forest area is estimated at 14.03 million tons (para 6.5). Specific values for the forests of the
division need to be developed by experimentation and research.

FUTURE MANAGEMENT
CHAPTER-I
1. BASIS OF PROPOSALS
1.1 Objectives of management
1.1.1 Introduction: Part-I of this plan provides a comprehensive insight into the forest
resources of the division besides highlighting the socio-economic profile of the region and
various patterns of demand on forest resources. The dry deciduous and scrub forests of the
division are subject to intense anthropogenic pressure to accommodate the growing needs of
the population. The forests are highly degraded, further regressing to even drier types. The
existence of vast extent of degraded forests represents an extreme case of ecological
destruction. In this context, it is necessary to recognize the environmental, social and
economic values of the forests and emerge with sound management strategy on the principle
of “sustainable use”. The primary objective should be environmental and ecological
improvement. The Forests have to be managed in such a way that there is minimal alteration
in the natural character and composition of the crop. It is to be understood that forests are
better conserved when the stakeholders have a long term interest in its survival. It is also to
be understood that sustainable conservation and development of forests play a very important
role in the development of a number of non-forestry sectors including agriculture, power,
irrigation, tourism, industry, rural development, social welfare etc. Considering these issues,
various management objectives are set forth along with the strategies that are to be adopted to
achieve the objectives.
1.1.2 The key objectives of management are:
 Protection, conservation and consolidation of forests and wildlife,

with emphasis on protection from fire.
 Qualitative and quantitative enhancement of forests, water table and
biodiversity.
 Sustainable management of forests.
 Rendering ecological services and
 People’s participation in protection, regeneration and sustainable
utilization of forest resources.
127
The above objectives are consistent with the National Forest Policy, 1988, and the Results
Framework Document (RFD) of the Karnataka Forest Department.
1.1.3 Performance indicators for different objectives: The traditional practice of

measuring physical and financial progress against the targets has now become obsolete. A
more rigorous system of evaluating the performance is needed rather than monitoring the
physical and financial targets and achievements. “What gets measured gets done” should be
the guiding factor. This aspect is clearly spelt out in the Results Framework Document (RFD)
of the Karnataka Forest department and the same criteria will be adopted to assess the
outcome of this plan.
1.1.4 The key objectives, the relative weights assigned to each objective, the actions required
for achieving the objectives, the success indicators for each of the actions and the weightage
assigned to each of the success indicator is indicated in the following table.

1.1.5 The annual targets for each of the action shall be set well in advance as per the
working plan prescriptions.
1.2 Method of treatment to be adopted

1.2.1 The methods of treatment to be adopted are detailed under the respective working
circles. In brief, they are:
 Protection of forests from biotic and abiotic factors shall receive priority.
 In view of the poor growing stock, extraction for fuel, fodder, timber and
charcoal in natural forests will be prohibited barring harvesting of Eucalyptus and
mixed fuel wood plantations and in areas managed under JFM.
 Enrichment planting will be taken up and root stock tended to improve certain
natural forests to augment the economic value and productivity. Native species
compatible with the surrounding vegetation will be planted.
 Fuel and small timber plantations of Hardwickia binata, Cassia siamia and Melia
dubia will be raised.
 Mixed fuel wood plantations will be managed for fuel, pulpwood and timber.
Extracted areas will be replanted or managed for coppice growth.
 Utilization of NTFPs, medicinal and aromatic plants will be regulated.
 Soil and moisture conservation will be an integral component in all interventions.
 Joint Forest Planning and Management will be implemented in its true spirit.
1.3 Constitution of working circles
1.3.1 To achieve the management objectives listed in sub para 1.1.2, five working circles
are constituted prescribing appropriate treatment packages.
 Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Working Circle.

 Improvement Working Circle.
 Plantation Working Circle.
 NTFP Working Circle (overlapping).
 Joint Forest Management Working Circle (overlapping).
1.3.2 Prescriptions on matters not covered by the above working circles are dealt under the
chapter on “Miscellaneous Regulations”. Though sandal occurs in the forests of the
division, the areas are not extensive enough to constitute a separate working circle. The
prescriptions governing sandal are dealt under “Miscellaneous Regulations”. The chapter on
131
Miscellaneous Regulations also includes prescriptions pertaining to forest fire management,
invasive species and weed management, infrastructure development-maintenance, wildlife
management ecotourism, upkeep of boundaries, forest settlement and updation of land
records, grazing, removing grass and litter collection, petty fellings, extraction and
preservation plots.
1.3.3 Allotment of areas to working circles: Range-wise extent of forests allotted to

different working circles is given in the following table:

working circle accounts for about 82.80%, Improvement working circle accounts for 8.88%
and the remaining 8.32% is accounted by Plantation working circle.
132
1.4 Period of the working plan
1.4.1 This working plan shall be in force for a period of 10 years from 1-04-2015 to 31-03-
2025. The plan is not intended to be a static and unchangeable document. A midterm review
of the plan should be undertaken for midcourse correction if any by the Standing Consultative
Committee under the chairmanship of the PCCF (HOFF). Based on the performance and
outcome the plan period may be extended up to 5 years beyond 31-03-2025 by appropriate
authority based on the recommendations of the Standing Consultative Committee.
133
CHAPTER-2
2. PROTECTION AND BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION WORKING CIRCLE
2.1 Introduction
2.1.1 The forests of the division could be rehabilitated by effective protection from
anthropogenic influences like fire, grazing and felling. Restoration does take place gradually
and the process requires time, effort and money. The term “protection” as contemplated in
this plan is to be understood in the sense as to implement all feasible measures to arrest
further degradation of natural forests and to assist the natural process of succession. The
forests need to be protected, rehabilitated and treated for conservation of soil and moisture
since diversity and density of plants and animals are intimately dependent on soil status. If
protected suitably the status of biodiversity would improve and help in mitigating the
problems associated with climate change.
2.2 General constitution of the working circle

2.2.1 All the forest areas, irrespective of their legal status, are brought under this working
circle after excluding such areas that are brought under Improvement working circle and
Plantation Working Circle. The working circle extends over 93,195.94 hectares and accounts
for about 82.80 % of the forest area of the division. Most of the areas that are brought under
this working circle were assigned to protection cum afforestation working circle in the
previous plan period (2001 to 2010). Degraded forest blocks with a canopy density of less
than 25% are assigned this working circle.
2.2.2 Range-wise areas that are included in the working circle are given in Table-29.

2.3.1 Barring a few isolated pockets of Devarayanadurga RF (around Namadachilume),
Kolikal RF (around Siddarabetta), Madhugiri RF (around the Forest Rest House),
Marashettihalli RF and Nidagal RF, the remaining forest blocks are open forests with a
canopy density of less than 25%.
2.4 Special objectives of management
2.4.1 This working circle is constituted with the following specific objectives which are
consistent with the general objectives mentioned in Part-II, Chapter-1, para 1.1.
 To consolidate forest boundaries and to protect the forests from fire,
grazing, illicit felling and encroachment.
 To conserve the diversity of flora and fauna and to undertake measures of
habitat restoration.
 To prevent soil erosion and to improve the moisture regime of the soil.
2.5 Analyses of the crop
2.5.1 Assessment of growing stock was made by inventory. The issues pertaining to the
methodology of enumeration, assessment of growing stock, status of regeneration etc. is
already discussed in Part-I, Chapter-3, para 3.2 and subsequent sub-paras. It is inferred that
the distribution of trees among age classes is unequal showing a negative exponential trend as
indicated by the “Reverse-J curve” (Part-I, Chapter-3, para 3.2.11). There is no perceptible
change in the status from the previous plan period. The natural regeneration is inadequate.
Most of the forest blocks are seen with scattered growth of Eucalyptus obviously planted
under various schemes in the past. This has also contributed to the altered composition.
Tamarindus indica, Buchanania lanzan, Annona squamosa, Terminalia chebula, Diospyros
spp are some of the important NTFP bearing species. Detailed qualitative and quantitative
parameters like composition of the crop, distribution of trees in dia-class, relative values for
135
density, dominance and volume (IVI) for each of the forest block are available in Appendix-
14 and 15.
2.6 Regulation of harvest

2.6.1 In view of poor growing stock, harvest is silviculturally not desirable. As such no
harvesting will be done in natural forests that are included in this working circle. In this
context, it is worthwhile to quote Mr.Coppleston an eminent forester of yesteryears. In his
working plan for Yellapur ghat forests (1905) Mr.Coppleston remarks “The forester is not
tied down to make a very heavy felling at any one period in any compartment and it
matters not if he makes no felling at all, he will be leaving the jungle much the same as
he found it”. Since no felling is contemplated, regulations pertaining to silvicultural system,
rotation and conversion period, harvestable diameters, reducing factors and reduced areas,
felling cycle, table of felling, method of executing felling etc have no relevance during the
plan period and as such not prescribed.
2.7 Regulation of regeneration
2.7.1 Since regeneration activities are contemplated under Improvement working circle and
Plantation working circle planting activity is not envisaged under this working circle during
this plan period.
2.8 Associated regulations and measures
2.8.1 Grazing: Grazing and penning of cattle inside forest blocks shall not be allowed. With
rigid protection, it is expected that the area will support good growth of grass. The villagers
may be encouraged to cut and carry the grass for their cattle.
2.8.2 Protection from fire: Annual fire tracing will be carried out along the periphery of all
the forest blocks including cart tracts, foot paths, bridal paths etc. (Protection and control
measures against fire are suggested in the chapter on Miscellaneous Regulations).
2.8.3 Consolidation of forest boundaries: Most of the forest blocks are already cordoned
off by boundary trenches. Wherever boundary trenches are not taken up such forest blocks
shall be effectively cordoned off by boundary trenches or suitable fencing. Repairs shall be
taken up wherever required.
2.8.4 Eviction of encroachment should be taken up on priority and no fresh encroachments

shall be allowed.
136
2.8.5 Activities involving disturbance to forest floor, like collection of humus, leaf litter etc.
shall not be allowed.
2.8.6 Formation of new roads inside the forests is prohibited.
2.8.7 Activities involving disturbance to canopy cover like lopping shall not be allowed.
2.8.8 Defacing natural rock formations occurring inside the forests by painting
advertisements and graffiti is prohibited in all the forests.
2.8.9 As a part of conservation programme, public awareness should be created by extension

methodologies like deploying audio-visual aids, mass media etc. School children and women
are to be visualized as target groups. The importance of living in harmony with nature should
be highlighted during these campaigns.
2.8.10 Soil and moisture conservation works shall be carried out in severely eroded
landscapes and areas prone to erosion at a micro watershed level based on site specific
planning.
2.9 Protection and Conservation series
2.9.1 In order to monitor the activities taken up with respect to the rregulations at para 2.8
and its sub-paras each range will be an independent protection and conservation series.
2.10 Control forms
2.10.1 To ensure continuity of management and to ensure effective control over the
prescriptions and suggestions contained under para 2.8 and corresponding sub-paras the
performance parameters and norms for all the prescriptions shall be reported on an annual
basis in the following control forms. Separate forms shall be used for recording measures
prescribed, measures suggested and measures neither prescribed nor suggested, but
implemented. The measures taken in respect of each prescription shall be clearly spelt out.
The object is to have an accurate qualitative and quantitative record to know what exactly is
prescribed and what exactly is implemented.
2.10.2 The control form in respect of the regulations shall be in Form No-1, 2 and 3 as per
the table given in Appendix- 26, 27 and 28 respectively.
137
CHAPTER-3
3. IMPROVEMENT WORKING CIRCLE
3.1 Introduction
3.1.1 The term “Improvement” as contemplated in this plan is to be understood in the sense
as to implement measures so that the existing root stock and the regeneration improves
during this plan period. The treatment package revolves mainly around Assisted natural
regeneration and Eco-restoration models.

3.2.1 The working circle extends over 10000.00 hectares that would be taken up for
improvement and accounts for about 8.8 % of the forest area of the division. Some of the
forest blocks that have a canopy density between 10-25% are assigned to this working circle.
Though the extent coming under this density class is much more only about 10000 hectares
will be taken up for treatment considering the men and material resource on hand, and
financial resources that could be made available during this plan period. Care is taken not to
aim high and achieve less. Only realistic and achievable targets are set forth.
3.2.2 Range-wise areas that are included in the working circle are given in Table-30.

3.3.1 Barring a few isolated pockets of Devarayanadurga RF (around Namadachilume),
Kolikal RF (around Siddarabetta), Madhugiri RF (around the Forest Rest House ) and
Nidagal RF the remaining forest blocks are open forests with a canopy density of less than
25%.
 To improve the stock and condition of natural forests (rehabilitation of
degraded forests) by aided natural regeneration, enrichment planting and if
necessary tending the existing root stock in order to improve the economic
value and utility.
 To prevent soil erosion and to improve the moisture regime of the soil.

3.5.1 The growing stock in the forest blocks assigned to this working circle is very similar to
that of forests assigned to Protection and Biodiversity Working Circle. Assessment of
growing stock was made by inventory. The issues pertaining to the methodology of
enumeration, assessment of growing stock, status of regeneration etc. is already discussed in
Part-I, Chapter-3, para 3.2 and subsequent sub paras. It is inferred that the distribution of trees
among diameter classes is unequal showing a negative exponential trend as indicated by the
“Reverse-J curve” (Part-I, Chapter-3, para 3.2.11). There is no perceptible change in the
status from the previous plan period. Natural regeneration and coppicing of root stock is
moderately good in some of the forests mentioned at Table-30. The forest blocks are seen
with scattered growth of Eucalyptus obviously planted under various schemes in the past.
This has also contributed to the altered composition. Tamarindus indica, Buchanania lanzan,
Annona squamosa, Terminalia chebula, Diospyrous sp are some of the important NTFP
140
bearing species. Detailed qualitative and quantitative parameters like composition of the crop,
distribution of trees in dia-class, relative values for density, dominance and volume for each
of the forest block are available in Appendix-14 and 15.

3.6.1 In view of poor growing stock, harvest is silviculturally not desirable. As such no
harvesting will be done in natural forests that are included in this working circle. As
such regulations pertaining to silvicultural system, rotation and conversion period,
harvestable diameters, reducing factors and reduced areas, felling cycle, table of felling,
method of executing felling etc have no relevance during the plan period and as such not
prescribed.
3.7 Regulation of regeneration and improvement
3.7.1 It is intended to treat 10,000 hectares of natural forests assigned to this working circle
by Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR) and enrichment planting during the plan period, the
annual target being about 100 hectares per range.
3.7.2 Silvicultural system: Consistent with the circular no: B1/species/CR-8/2012-13, dated
28-01-2013, of the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests ( Head of Forest Force) issued in
connection with the general guidelines of “ Species and planting technique models for
Karnataka” with specific reference to management interventions for dry zones ( Tumkur
district is classified under dry zones as per the Karnataka State Land Plan Use) the
silvicultural system would be “Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR)” and its associated
Eco-restoration and supplemental planting models.
3.7.3 For efficient management the regeneration areas should be delineated on watershed
basis. A landscape of about 1000.00 hectares in each range shall be taken as the unit of
treatment. All resources available for regeneration should be allotted to such delineated
landscapes so that the limited financial resources at the disposal of the department are spent
on such identified landscapes.
3.7.4 The landscapes identified for treatment have been treated in “Bits and pieces
approach” under various models in the past. Overlapping of such previously treated areas
should not be the consideration for taking up remedial and restoration measures. On the
other hand the present status of the land is considered for taking up treatment.
141
3.7.5 The regeneration programme should not in any way alter or disturb the existing
composition of the forest. The main objective is to protect, maintain and restore the
biodiversity of the area along with other objectives of regeneration.
3.7.6 Improvement series: In order to take up the regeneration and improvement activities
it is desirable to constitute “Improvement series”. Since the major objective of the working
circle is improvement the conventional “Regeneration series” is named as “Improvement
series”. The extent earmarked for improvement are spread over ten ranges. Since the range is
the unit of administration, each of the ten ranges would be an independent improvement
series.
3.7.7 Detailed series-wise improvement schedule is given in Appendix-29.
Choice of species and design
3.7.8 The composition of the surrounding vegetation is a fair indicator that should be relied
upon while choosing the species. Considering the hostile climate and poor site quality,
species that have the attributes of pioneer species and that are compatible with surrounding
vegetation should be selected. Any casual approach may result in failure. Species native to
the region like Azadirachta indica (Bevu), Holoptelia integrifolia (Tapasi), Annona
squamosa (Seethaphal), Millettia pinnata (Honge), Hardwickia binata (Kamara), Albizia
lebbeck (Bage), Ficus bengalensis (Ficus), Dalbergia sisso (Sisso), Ailanthus excelsa
(Ailanthus), Wrightia tinctoria (Hale), Stereospermum chelonoides (Uded), Boswellia serrata
(Dhupa), Phyllanthus emblica (Nelli) and Pterocarpus marsupium (Honne) shall be planted.
Though the list is not exhaustive, care should be taken to arrive at the right combination. Of
the above species some existed originally but are already exterminated or likely to be
exterminated. Say for example, Holoptelia integrifolia (Tapasi), Wrightia tinctoria (Hale),
Boswellia serrata (Dhupa) and Pterocarpus marsupium (Honne). Importance should be given
to such species to build up their population above critical level and to maintain species
diversity and to prevent species extinction.
3.7.9 To avoid possible decline in NTFP population 20% of locally compatible NTFP
species like Tamarindus indica, Terminalia chebula shall be planted, wherever feasible.
3.7.10 While choosing the species due consideration should be given to the Non Timber
forest produce and wild life utility aspects ensuring a multi-tier canopy.
142
3.7.11 Introduction of exotic species often leads to reduction in bio-diversity of the natives
by altering the species composition and inter-species relationship. As such introduction of
exotics if at all necessary should be carefully planned.
3.7.12 The area identified for treatment shall be surveyed and demarcated followed by
closure with either CPT, barbed wire fencing or stone wall fencing in its entirety. It is not
economically feasible and strategically desirable to excavate CPT for annual regeneration
areas. Such areas may be closed by brush wood fencing.
3.7.13 Pitting shall be taken up one year in advance. Up to 200 pits of size 75m 3 may be
excavated in a hectare avoiding the existing root stock or regeneration.
3.7.14 At least 12 month old seedlings raised in polythene bags shall be used for planting.
3.7.15 Planting is not mandatory. Wherever there is sufficient root stock and promising
regeneration planting may be dispensed with. In such areas dibbling of seeds of sandal, neem,
seethaphal, honge and other native species may be taken up. Appropriate measures to induce
root suckers may also be taken up.
3.7.16 Tending: All the important species with natural root stock will be singled out and a
main vigorous stem is allowed to grow. Two rounds of circular weedings and soil working
annually up to three years should follow. Whippy, broom-stick like regeneration should be
cut back flush to the ground to allow coppice regeneration to come up.
3.7.17 One protection watcher should be provided for every block of 100 hectares until the
regeneration revives or for a period of four years whichever is earlier.
3.7.18 Name boards shall be put up for each of the regeneration area at strategic locations.
The particulars in respect of year, extent, model, scheme etc. should be mentioned.
3.8.1 Grazing: The regeneration areas will be closed for grazing for a period ranging from 3
to 5 years. With rigid protection, it is expected that the area will support good growth of
grass. The villagers should be encouraged to cut and carry the grass for their cattle.
the forest blocks as well as regeneration areas including cart tracts, foot paths, bridal paths
143
etc. (Protection and control measures against fire are suggested in the chapter on
Miscellaneous Regulations).
Soil and Water Conservation measures
3.8.3 Proper soil and moisture conservation will improve the site conditions and rate of
establishment and growth of the saplings that are planted. Soil and water conservation should
be achieved by maintaining proper vegetative cover and interception of slopes by suitable
treatments. It could be biological measures or mechanical measures or a combination of both
depending upon the site requirement.
 Biological measures: Vegetative barriers should be created by planting Agaves to

reclaim ravines and gullies. Agave should also be planted along the contours in
steep slopes.
 Mechanical measures: Mechanical structures like check dams, boulder bunds,

ravine reclamation structures will be constructed at strategic locations. These
measures are useful to prevent further cutting of gullies. Design considerations
should be worked out as per the requirement of the site. The work should start
near the head and proceed downstream.
3.8.4 Selection of site for construction of soil conservation and water harvesting measures
should be done by the ACF and approved by the DCF.
3.8.5 Drainage pattern should be studied in detail before fixing the location for construction
of SMC structures.
3.8.6 Assistance from the Watershed Development Department may be obtained in

selection of site, design and preparation of estimates.
3.9 Control forms
prescriptions and suggestions contained under para 3.7, 3.8 and their corresponding sub paras
the performance parameters and norms for all the prescriptions shall be reported on an annual
basis in the following control forms. Separate forms shall be used for recording measures
prescribed, measures suggested and measures neither prescribed nor suggested, but
implemented .The measures taken in respect of each prescription shall be clearly spelt out.
144
The object is to have an accurate qualitative and quantitative record to know what exactly is
prescribed and what exactly is implemented.
3.9.2 The control form in respect of regulation of regeneration and improvement will be in
Form No-1, 2 and 3 as per the table given in Appendix- 30, 31 and 32 respectively.
145
CHAPTER -4
4. PLANTATION WORKING CIRCLE
4.1 Introduction
4.1.1 About 92% of the forests of the division are placed under the Protection and
Biodiversity conservation working circle and Improvement working circle, where no harvest
is prescribed. Nevertheless, it is only prudent that some areas are to be set aside for
production forestry to meet the fuel and small timber needs of the local population. About
395.00 hectares of Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations that were supposed to be
harvested in the previous plan period has spilt over as backlog. Another 266.06 hectares of
older Eucalyptus plantations were inadvertently left out in the previous plan. An extent of
3898.00 hectares of Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantation raised under various schemes
between 2000-2001 and 2012-2013 are available for harvest. All the above three categories of
plantations need to be considered for harvest and post-harvest management, either coppicing
or replanting as the case may be. In addition 4800.00 hectares would be put to productive use
by raising fuel and smaller timber plantations. The areas evicted from encroachment also
need to be replanted. Hence, the working circle.
4.2. General constitution of working circle
4.2.1 The working circle constitutes about 8.24% of the forest area and is comprised of the
following.
 Older Eucalyptus plantations that - 266.06 hectares

were not included in the earlier
working plan
 Plantations that were not harvested as - 395.00 hectares
scheduled in the previous plan and
working schemes (Back log)
 Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood - 3898.00 hectares
plantations raised between 2000-01 to
2012-13
 Extent earmarked for raising fuel and - 4800.00 hectares
small timber plantation.
Total 9359.06 hectares

4.2.3 The forest blocks that are included in the working circle are given the Appendix-33.
4.3.1 Eucalyptus and Acacia are the main species planted with an admixture of similar fast
growing species like Cassia siamia though to a very limited extent. No definite pattern is
followed either in design or density. Other than the plantation area, the remaining 4800
hectares proposed for raising plantations are open forests, with a canopy density of 10 -25%.
 To meet the fuel wood demand by taking up extraction of 4559.06 hectares of

Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations.
 To raise 4800 hectares of fuel and small timber plantations.
 To replant the under stocked plantations after clear felling.
147
4.5.1 Assessment of growing stock was made by inventory. The issues pertaining to
methodology of enumerations, assessment of growing stock, status of regeneration etc. is
already discussed in Part-I, chapter-3, para- 3.2 and subsequent sub-paras. It is inferred that
the plantations are not uniform in distribution, stocking and growth. Hacking has resulted in
uneven coppice shoots of uneven age. No definite pattern or proportion was followed while
deciding on the species nor were they planted in separate blocks. This has rendered the
harvest and post-harvest management difficult. The exact composition of species that were
planted could not be ascertained for want of proper records. The picture that has emerged out
of analyses of inventory data with respect to the composition is very unclear barring the
inference that Eucalyptus is the major component accounting for 87.68 % (part-I, chapter-3,
sub para 3.2.17). The volume per hectare varied across age groups from 2m3 to 15m3 per
hectare, the average being 11 m3 per hectare (part-I, chapter-3, sub-para 3.2.21).
4.6.1 An extent of 4559.06 hectares of Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations shall be
harvested followed by subsequent management of coppice. It is not economically viable and
technically feasible to subject plantations that are under stocked below 30% for coppice
management. Such plantations shall be replanted the very next year of extractions. The
officer in-charge of the division shall assess each of the plantations scheduled for
extraction and take appropriate measures accordingly.
4.6.2 The composition of Acacia auriculiformis in mixed plantations of the division is very
less and the plantations occur in patches scattered here and there in the open areas. Consistent
with the note on the management of Acacia plantations vide letter no. APCCF (EWPT)/CR-
1/2012-13, dated 28-3-2013, the Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests,
Evaluation, Working Plan and Training addressed to all the Conservators of Forests, Working
Plan, the Acacia auriculiformis plantations that are raised as a mixture and in patches in open
areas shall neither be thinned nor be extracted at all. The isolated trees shall be allowed to
merge with the natural vegetation.
4.6.3 The Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations that are earmarked for harvest is given
in Appendix-34.
148
4.7 Silvicultural system
4.7.1 The silvicultural system is clear felling followed by coppice management or replanting
in case of Eucalyptus– dominant plantations.
4.8 Rotation and conversion period
4.8.1 The Conservator of Forests, Hassan Circle has recommended that the rotation age for
Eucalyptus for principal crop should be fixed at 12 years and at 10 years for first and second
coppice crops, due to slow growth of Eucalyptus in Tumkur division. Accordingly rotation is
fixed at 12 years for the principal crop and 10 years for the first and second coppice crops.
The area shall be replanted after two coppice rotations. Poorly stocked plantations that have a
survival rate below 30% may be considered for replanting the following year after harvesting,
after assessing the feasibility and viability case by case. The following older plantations
that have lost the coppice vigour shall be replanted the following year after harvesting.

4.9 Harvestable diameters
4.9.1 Since the plantations coming under this working circle occur over a varied climate and
edaphic conditions, the growth patterns is also varied and as such are not equiproductive. The
rate of increment in case of principal species, Eucalyptus, is not uniform. As such it is very
difficult to prescribe exploitable diameters. However, Sri Range Gowda in his plan under
revision [Appendix-9] has tabulated the stand volume indicating the volume increment, in
terms of MAI and CAI for Eucalyptus and Acacia auriculiformis. Incidentally, the CAI and
MAI curves for both the species culminate around the 10th year. Considering the hostile
edaphic conditions it is presumed that the CAI and MAI curves culminate around the 12th
year across varied climatic and edaphic conditions.

4.10 Reducing factors and reduced areas
4.10.1 Reducing factors are applied for quality and density while regulating the yield for
which yield tables are available, the inventory data was relied upon to consider density
reduction. Since in view of the irregularity in planting, age, survival and stocking across
different plantations, the plantations are not equiproductive per unit area and as such an
uniform reducing factor for the plantations across ranges is of no relevance.
4.11 Harvesting series and cutting sections
4.11.1 An extent of 4559.06 hectares of Eucalyptus and mixed plantations are to be

harvested during the plan period. Since a range is the unit of administration and since the
extent of plantations available for harvest in each range is not too much, each range will be an
independent harvesting series. Thus, there would be 10 harvesting series.
150
 Bukkapatna harvesting series - 450.00 hectare
 Chikkanayakanahalli harvesting series - 181.00 hectare
 Gubbi harvesting series - 752.00 hectare
 Koratgere harvesting series - 362.00 hectare
 Kunigal harvesting series - 550.00 hectare
 Madhugiri harvesting series - 463.00 hectare
 Pavagada harvesting series - 555.00 hectare
 Sira harvesting series - 495.00 hectare
 Tiptur harvesting series - 412.00 hectare
 Tumkur harvesting series - 339.06 hectare
Total 4559.06 hectare
4.12 Regulation of yield
4.12.1 Regulating the yield by volume is not feasible since all the plantations are not
equiproductive per unit area. This results in varied extents being harvested annually and
further replanting target will be skewed, rendering the future management difficult. Yield is
regulated by area. Because of irregular annual plantings done in the past, the extent of
plantations reaching the rotation age is not uniform and it is rather difficult to aim at
sustained yield. The harvestable volume would be much less than the estimated growing
stock considering that miscellaneous species, trees on slopes, stream banks and plantation
boundary will not be extracted. Analyses of inventory have revealed that the average yield
across different ages is about 11m3 per hectare. Accordingly, it is estimated that harvesting of
4559.06 hectare would yield about 50000 m3. The volume projected is only indicative and
should not be treated as prescribed yield. More correct estimation can only be made
based on detailed enumeration prior to harvest.
4.13 Division into periods and allotment to periodic blocks (pb)
4.13.1 Periodic blocks are delineated in case of shelter wood system. Since the silvicultural
system adopted in this working circle is clear felling followed by coppice rotation-replanting
the area is not divided into periodic blocks.
151
4.14 Table of felling
4.14.1 Harvesting of 4559.06 hectares of Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations are
scheduled and tabulated year wise by ranges for each harvesting series. Incidentally, each
range is a separate harvesting series (para 4.11).
4.14.2 Annual harvest is regulated as per the table below.

2.The volume projected is only indicative and should not be treated as prescribed yield.
4.14.3 Detailed range-wise schedule of extraction is given in Appendix-35 (a) to (j).
4.14.4 The harvesting is scheduled based on the information pertaining to exploitable

plantations as provided by the Deputy Conservator of Forests, Tumkur. In case any
plantation that has completed its rotation period is left out, it may be considered for the
152
harvest after obtaining necessary permission from the Chief Conservator of Forests
concerned and in consultation with the Conservator of Forests- Working Plan.
4.15 Method of executing the felling
4.15.1 Established growth of miscellaneous species in the plantations proposed for harvest
should be retained to avoid opening of the area which would otherwise lead to erosion and
invasion of weeds.
4.15.2 The Fruit yielding trees in the plantation limits, that attract birds and animals should
not be removed.
4.15.3 Extraction of trees in areas having slope more than 300 and along the banks of rivers
and streams shall not be taken up.
4.15.4 Trees on the periphery of the plantations are to be retained to demarcate the boundary
of the plantation and to serve as seed stands.
4.15.5 While conversion preference should be given to prepare timber and poles and the
remaining material should be converted to billets and fire wood so as to fetch more revenue.
4.15.6 Further harvesting of the plantations shall not be taken up if the area harvested is not
regenerated (replanting or coppice management as the case may be) the following year.
4.15.7 Extraction should start systematically starting from one end.
4.15.8 Only saws preferably power saws should be used for harvesting. The stump should be
as low as possible and should not exceed 6-7 cm above the ground.
4.15.9 The cut should be at an angle and clean so that the bark surrounding the stump is not
damaged.
4.15.10 Harvesting should be completed by spring time to allow vigorous growth of coppice
shoots in case of Eucalyptus.
4.16 Subsidiary silvicultural operations -
cleaning and thinning
4.16.1 The area should be effectively protected from fire by taking up fire tracing and
keeping the boundary and internal paths free from weeds and other combustible material.
4.16.2 In case of Eucalyptus, in the year following harvest, coppice shoots should be tended
by removing inferior shoots and climbers.
153
4.16.3 During the coppice rotation, the plantations shall be visited at 2nd, 4th and 6th year
after harvest for thinning of coppice shoots to retain not more than 4 shoots by 2nd year, 3 by
4th year and finally 2 by the 6th year.
4.17 Regeneration
4.17.1 About 4800.00 hectares forests would be put to productive use by raising fuel and
small timber plantation (para 4.2.1). Areas evicted from encroachments coming in this
earmarked forest blocks will be considered against this target.
4.17.2 Replanting the plantation where Eucalyptus is the principle species, after coppice
rotations will be the subject matter of the coming working plan. However, the regulation
prescribed hereinafter would apply to such of the extremely poor plantations that might have
to be regenerated without subjecting it to coppice management.
4.17.3 The silvicultural system will be artificial regeneration.
4.17.4 Regeneration is regulated annually as per the table below.

4.17.5 Regeneration series: Since the range is the unit of administration and the extent of
plantations that are intended to be taken up is not too much, each range would be an
independent regeneration series. Thus, there would be 10 regeneration series.
4.17.6 Detailed series-wise regeneration schedule is given in Appendix-36.
4.17.7 The areas are barren and open with little or no top soil with deficient regeneration.
Generally the canopy density is between 10-25%. Considering that the rainfall pattern is
highly irregular a judicious choice of species and design is necessary to ensure success. The
strategy is to check further degradation of site and to create a green cover with pioneer and
colonising species like Hardwickia binata, Cassia siamia, Agaves etc with a judicious
mixture of local hardy species like Melia dubia. Planting of Gliricidia may be considered
only along the periphery of the forests. The forest department has come up with a General
Guidelines for “Species and planting technique models” during 2012. These guidelines
were evolved by a committee of senior forest officers headed by Sri. G.V.Sugur the then
Additional Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (Development). It is suggested that these
guidelines be adopted while deciding upon the design and choice of species.
4.17.8 The planting would be trench mound planting. The contour interval is to be decided
depending on the gradient. About 500 trenches would be sufficient for one hectare. Staggered
trenching may be resorted to in soil interspersed with rocky out crops and boulders. The site
preparation may be done by ripping. Pitting may also be done in patches where ripping
cannot be taken up.
4.17.9 The planting density would be 1500 plants per hectare and species like Hardwickia
binata, Melia dubia and Cassia siamia would form the core fuel and small timber yielding
species. Hardwickia binata and Melia dubia should preferably be raised in 8X12” size bags.
4.17.10 The planting density, the core species and the planting pattern is given in the
following table.

4.17.11 Species like Cassia siamia and Hardwickia binata shall be planted in single rows.
Slow growing species shall be evenly spaced out at 10m.
4.17.12 Planting Eucalyptus may be considered in JFM areas and in areas that are evicted
from encroachment. In such cases, Eucalyptus should be planted in pure blocks to facilitate
further management as a pure crop.
4.17.13 The regeneration area shall be surveyed, demarcated and closed with boundary
trenches, or barbed wire fencing. Site preparation shall be done one year in advance.
4.17.14 Agave suckers, bulbils, Euphorbia cuttings shall be planted on the mounds of
boundary trenches, Seeds of Sandal, Gliricidia and Milletia pinnata may also be sown on the
boundary trenche mounds.
4.17.15 Watch and ward shall be provided for every 25 hectare for a minimum period of 3
years.
4.17.16 Name boards shall be put up for each of the regeneration area at strategic locations.
The particulars in respect of year, extent, model, scheme etc. should be mentioned.
4.18.1 Grazing: The regeneration areas will be closed for grazing for a period ranging from
3 to 5 years. With rigid protection, it is expected that the area will support good growth of

4.18.2 Protection from fire: Annual fire tracing along the periphery of the regeneration area
to a width of three meters should be carried out. The inspection paths, cart tracts etc. should
also be fire traced during January-February and all the debris should be burnt on the fire
lines.
4.18.3 Soil and moisture conservation measures: Soil and moisture conservation measures
shall be an integral component and its design consideration will be worked out as per site
requirement. Agave suckers should be planted in the inter-contour spaces. Normally about
1000 Agaves may be planted per hectare. The treatment shall follow “Ridge to Valley
approach”.
4.18.4 Roads, bridges and buildings of permanent nature shall not be established in the
regeneration areas.
4.19 Control forms
prescriptions and suggestions pertaining to harvest and regeneration the performance
parameters and norms for all the prescriptions shall be reported on an annual basis in the
following control forms. Separate forms shall be used for recording measures prescribed,
measures suggested and measures neither prescribed nor suggested, but implemented.
The measures taken in respect of each prescription shall be clearly spelt out. The object is to
have an accurate qualitative and quantitative record to know what exactly is prescribed and
what exactly is implemented.
4.19.2 Control form in respect of regulation of harvest will be in Form No- 4, as per the table
given in Appendix- 37.
4.19.3 Control form in respect of regulation of regeneration and other associated regulations
and measures will be in Forms No- 1, 2 and 3, as per the table given in Appendix- 38, 39 and

CHAPTER-5
5. NON-TIMBER FOREST PRODUCE WORKING CIRCLE
(OVERLAPPING)
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 NTFPs include all tangible outputs derived from forests other than timber and hence
the name Non-Timber Forest Products [NTFPs]. It includes fuel, fodder, bamboo, grasses,
fibres, oils, tannin, gums, resins, medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP), bark, leaves, fruits
etc. As in other parts of the country, NTFPs contribute substantially to the economy of many
rural households in the division. Many of these forest products are locally traded at the
community level. Collecting and selling of some of the NTFPs is often the main occupation
of the tribals and nomads (Chapter-1, para 7.5.9). Products like Tamarind, Alale, Seethaphal
and Honge seeds are also traded outside the district (Part-I, Chapter-7, para 7.7). Medicinal
and aromatic plants also form an important constituent of NTFPs. The prevailing system of
harvesting of some of the important NTFPs is already discussed in Part-I, chapter-7, para
7.4.2. Strategies for NTFP conservation, development and utilization need to be spelt out.
Hence, this working circle.
5.2.1 Non-Timber Forest Products Working Circle is an overlapping working circle that
includes all the forest blocks of the division. Effectively it extends over 1,12,555.00 hectares.
5.3.1 The general character of vegetation is already discussed in Part- II, Chapter-2, 3 and 4
while describing the character of vegetation in the forests under Protection and Biodiversity
conservation working circle, Improvement working circle and Plantation working circle. The
following are the important NTFPs occurring in the forests of the division.
 Tamarind (Tamarindus indica): Tamarind is the major component of the

NTFPs and is the principle source of revenue. The crop is sold once in two
years. Other than trees occurring in the forests, tamarind is also planted by the
roadsides. The productivity is on the decline due to old age and constant
lopping.
158
Tamarindus indica - Sopanahalli
 Maradi (Buchanania lanzan): Maradi is the second most important product
that is traded in the division. Substantial numbers of maradi trees occur in
Maradigudda RF, Theertharampura RF and Madhugiri RF.
 
Buchanania lanzan – Kolikal RF
159
 Seethaphal (Annona squamosa): Seethaphal, known for its quality edible
fruits is a major product occurring in the forests of Madhugiri, Koratagere and
Pavagada ranges. The crop is being sold bi-annually.
Annona squamosa – Ankapura RF
5.3.3 Other important NTFPs occurring in the forests of the division are:
 Edible and marketable fruits - Mangifera indica (mango)
- Syzygium cuminii (Neralu)
- Semecarpus anacardium (Marking nut, Kadugeru)
- Zizyphus spp (Bore )
- Phyllanthus emblica (Nelli)
 Tanning fruits (Myrobalans) - Terminalia ballerica (Thare)

- Terminalia chebula (Alale)
 Oil yielding fruits and nuts - Milletia pinnata (Honge)
- Azadirachta indica (Bevu)
 Other fruits and nuts - Sapindus emarginatus (Antuvala)
- Acacia concinna (Seege)
 Animal products - Honey, wax, antlers
 Gums and resins - Acacia nilotica (Karijali)
- Anogeissus latifolia (Dindiga)
- Boswellia serrata (Dhupa)
 Tanning bark - Cassia auriculata (Thangadi)
- Cassia fistula (Kakke)
5.3.4 Sri Range Gowda in his working plan (Table 23) has listed some of the very good
NTFP plantations, especially Tamarind plantations raised in the division between 1996 to
2000. The same is reproduced below:

5.3.5 The Silviculturist, Bangalore has identified 11 plus trees of Terminalia chebula
around Kunchanahalli of Huliyurdurga Hobli in Kunigal taluk.
161
Terminalia chebula - Siddarabetta
5.3.6 The medicinal and aromatic plants form an important constituent of the vegetation of
the forests brought under this working circle. These plants are being used as a bio-cultural
resource in the district in different systems of medicine like Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha,
Homeopathy and other folk medicine. Sri Thirumalaiah, a resident of Urdigere in
Tumkur taluk, is one such exponent of traditional medicine who is rendering a yeomen
service in association with the local staff of Devarayanadurga. Consumers generally
collect medicinal plants from wild resources adapting non-sustainable methods often
resorting to destructive collection. An exhaustive list of medicinal plants available in the
forests is given in part 1, chapter 3, para 3.5.5.
5.3.7 The Medicinal Plant Conservation Area (MPCA) at Devarayandurga is one of the 13
MPCAs in Karnataka established with the help of Foundation for Revitalisation of Local
Health traditions (FRLHT), Bangalore and managed with the help of local people. The
Devrayandurga and Siddarabetta forests can be viewed as sites of medicinal plant abundance
and as in-situ gene bank of medicinal and aromatic plants.
5.4.1 This working circle is constituted with the following specific objectives, which are
consistent with the general objectives mentioned in Part-II, Chapter-1, para1.1.2.
 To regulate the utilisation of Non-Timber Forest Products.
162
 To propagate important NTFP yielding species like Tamarindus indica,
Terminalia chebula and Phyllanthus emblica, etc.
 To identify Rare, Endangered and Threatened (RET) medicinal species
of the region and to ensure their in-situ conservation and ex-situ
propagation.
 To ensure sustainable use of Non Timber Forest Products by the users
especially the rural population dependent on the forests.
5.5.1 Assessment of growing stock including some of the important NTFPs species was
made by inventory. The issues pertaining to the methodology of enumeration, assessment of
growing stock, status of regeneration etc is discussed in part-1, chapter-3, para 3.2 and
subsequent sub-paras. The relative values for density, dominance and volume for some of the
important NTFPs. Tamarindus indica, Buchanania lanzan, Annona squamosa, Terminalia
chebula and Diospyros sp were computed (Appendix 14-a).
5.5.2 The population of NTFP yielding trees is not uniform in all the forests with more
number of trees in the immature category. Yielding trees are less.
5.6 Regulation of utilisation

5.6.1 For systematic utilization, the NTFPs of the division are grouped under the following
categories with independent lease units to avoid uneconomical leases.
 Tamarindus indica (Tamarind)
 Buchanania lanzan (Maradi)
 Annona squamosa (Seethaphal)
 Terminalia chebula (Alale)
All other products other than those specially regulated as above shall be categorised as
“Other NTFPs”.
5.6.2 Wherever Village forest committees are formed, each VFC will be an independent
lease unit that shall be vested with the right to collect and dispose the usufructs for each
category.
5.6.3 Till such time the VFCs are formed, a range shall be an independent lease unit for each
category and the existing system of leasing the units may be continued till such time. The
range as a unit shall become reductant. when all the forests are assigned to village forest
committees as per the principles of JFPM.
163
5.6.4 The Deputy conservator of Forests may, at his discretion, split up any of the lease units
into smaller ones or may combine any of the smaller units into bigger ones according to the
need.
5.6.5 Whenever there is no demand for any unit during a particular year, timely action
should be taken to collect important usufructs of Tamarindus indica, Terminalia chebula,
Semecarpus anacardium etc.
5.6.6 While fixing the price, factors like current market price of the product, cost of
collection, transport and all incidental charges towards processing and marketing the product
should be well considered.
5.6.7 To assess the quantity of tamarind, alale and maradi, the forests may be stock mapped
indicating the extent under such trees or the numbers or both.
5.6.8 Destructive harvesting methods like felling of trees or cutting the branches to collect
the usufructs shall be prohibited.
5.6.9 Pollarding of trees to collect leaves for green manure shall be prohibited since the
productivity of the forests is minimal and is not compatible with the enormous demand.
5.6.10 Though tupra is an important NTFP its regeneration is adversely affected because of
constant burning around the trees. There is an urgent need to give some time for the trees to
recoup and rejuvenate. As such collection of tupra leaves shall be suspended during the plan
period and practice of burning around the tupra trees to initiate new flush shall be prohibited
as it often kills the tree.
5.6.11 Leasing of tanning barks shall be suspended since the revenue earned is not
worthwhile and the damage caused to the trees due to debarking is so much that the tree gets
often killed.
5.7 Utilisation schedule

5.7.1 Tamarindus indica (Tamarind): Each unit will be leased bi-annually, the period being
20 (Twenty) months commencing from November-1 to June30 of the second year. In order
to facilitate the bidders to assess the crop, the sale may be conducted when young fruits have
set in.
5.7.2 Buchanania lanzan (Maradi): Each unit will be leased bi-annually, the period being
24 (Twenty four) months commencing from November-1.
164
5.7.3 Annona squamosa (Seethaphal): Each unit will be leased bi-annually, the period
being 24 (Twenty four) months commencing from November-1.
5.7.4 Terminalia chebula (Alale): Each unit will be leased bi-annually, the period being 24
(Twenty four) months commencing from November-1.
5.7.5 Other NTFPs: Usufructs pertaining to the products collectively listed under ‘Other
NTFPs’ in para 4.6.1 will be leased out annually, the period of lease being one year
commencing from July 1 to June 30 of the coming year.
5.7.6 Antlers and horns: Though the material available is insignificant in terms of quantity,
it is important in terms of value. Antlers of blackbuck, and spotted deer will be collected
departmentally.
5.8 Regulation of regeneration
5.8.1 Considering the increasing demand and attractive prices for tamarind, neem and neem
based products, alale and medicinal and aromatic plants, it is desirable to augment their
production by bringing more areas under tamarind, neem, medicinal plants and alale
plantations through artificial regeneration systematically in compact blocks of 10 hectares or
more in suitable localities. The plantations shall be managed as estates.
5.8.2 Notwithstanding the regulation to plant about 20% with NTFP species in the
regeneration areas in improvement working circle (para 3.7.9) an extent of 1000.00 hectares
would be brought under NTFP plantations.
5.8.3 Silvicultural system: The silvicultural system is artificial regeneration assisted by

intensive cultural operations and supportive irrigation if needed.
5.8.4 Regeneration series: In order to take up the regeneration activities contemplated in

this working circle it is desirable to constitute “Regeneration series”. Since the extent
earmarked for regeneration is spread over 10 ranges and since the range is the unit of
administration each range would be an independent regeneration series except for Tiptur
range where raising of NTFP plantation is not considered on account of non-availability of
suitable areas. Thus there would be nine regeneration series.
5.8.5 Detailed series-wise regeneration schedule is given in Appendix-41.
5.8.6 Consistent with the suggestions contained in the General Guidelines-2012 for species
and planting technique models brought out by Karnataka Forest Department with specific
165
reference to NTFP planting model and the core species suggested for dry zone, hunse, nelli,
bevu, maradi and alale will be planted.
5.8.7 The Compact blocks of about 1000 hectares in the forests earmarked in the
regeneration schedule given at Appendix-41 will be selected to facilitate intensive inputs, so
that it will be economically viable and technically feasible. Annual regeneration will be
taken up within this area as per the regeneration schedule.
5.8.8 Pitting shall be taken up one year in advance. Upto 100 pits of size 0.75 m3 may be
excavated per hectare avoiding the existing root stock or regeneration.
5.8.9 Atleast 12 month old, 7-8 feet tall seedlings raised in either 10”X16” size polythene
bags/oven sacks or in 14”X20” oven sacks will be planted.
5.8.10 Farm yard manure will be applied for first 2 years at the rate of 1m 3 for 40 plants.
DAP fertiliser will also be applied for 2 years.
5.8.11 Support irrigation will be given 5 times during the first year and 3 times during the
second year.
5.8.12 The regeneration areas will be maintained for 5 years.
5.8.13 If the forest block is not already protected by boundary trenches, appropriate fencing
is to be taken up for annual regeneration areas.
5.8.14 Soil and moisture conservation works shall be an integral component of regeneration
and the design considerations will be as per para 3.8.3 to 3.8.6 of Part II, Chapter-3.
5.9 Associated regulation and measures
5.9.1 Grazing: The regeneration areas will be closed for grazing for a period ranging from 3
to 5 years. With rigid protection, it is expected that the area will support good growth of
the forest blocks as well as regeneration areas including cart tracts, foot paths, bridal paths
etc. (Protection and control measures against fire are suggested in the chapter on
Miscellaneous Regulations).
5.10 Regulations pertaining to medicinal plants

5.10.1 Non-destructive harvesting methods should be followed. Untimely harvesting shall
not be permitted. Leaves/fruits shall be collected only after the completion of flowering and
fruiting to prevent adverse affect on natural regeneration.
5.10.2 In species in which whole plant need to be harvested, adequate number of plants
should be left unharvested so that they facilitate natural regeneration through seed dispersal.
166
5.10.3 In cases where the roots/tubers/rhizomes are the specific parts used, ensure natural
regeneration by retaining well distributed and adequate number of seed bearers.
5.10.4 In cases where the leaves are to be collected, only the upper branches alone should be
cut.
5.10.5 In cases where roots alone are used, harvesting to be taken up only when the slips
establish, produce tillers and the clumps form thick barrier. At this stage, tillers can be
uprooted on the downhill side leaving a strip of grass barrier on the uphill side.
5.10.6 Modes of collection should be regulated and if necessary a ban on the collection of
critically endangered species in the wild may be imposed.
 For each species, only specified plant parts shall be collected.
 Removal of plants or plant parts of species other than the specified ones shall be
prohibited.
 Lopping of branches to gather fruits/ leaves shall be prohibited.
5.10.7 Cultural operations have to be provided for important species existing in the wild. A
status survey of medicinal plants occurring in each forest block should be conducted with the
help of local villagers, traditional health healers and experts to identify the medicinal plants
in the forest block.
5.10.8 Tribals, small farmers and other rural population should be encouraged to grow
medicinal plants in their backyards, waste lands, bunds of agricultural fields etc by extension
programmes. Saplings of their choice and demand may be supplied after conducting a
demand survey.
5.11 Treatment of MPCA at Devarayandurga
5.11.1 A thorough re-survey of the MPCA shall be carried out and clearly demarcated by
posting boundary pillars at each survey station and numbered. The boundaries shall be geo-
referenced using GPS. The area shall be cordoned off with suitable fencing like barbed wire
fencing or chain linked fencing.
5.11.2 Fire tracing shall be done annually to a width of at least three meters, well ahead of
the fire season.
5.11.3 Grazing shall be prohibited within the MPCA.
5.11.4 Rigid protection from biotic interferences shall be given. The local management
committee shall be involved in evolving protection strategies.
167
5.11.5 No removals shall be permitted, except for the collection of seeds, propagules for
multiplication either for research or development elsewhere. Such collections shall be
minimal.
5.11.6 RED listed species occurring in the MPCA may be multiplied in the nurseries and
planted in the vicinity where such species are known to occur.
5.11.7 It is suggested to form a small demonstration plot of say 10 hectares within the
MPCA and identify the medicinal plants. Important species can be labelled mentioning the
usage.
5.11.8 Resources and facilities that are available at Namadachilume like nature trails,
interpretation centre, tent bases, herbal garden etc may be upgraded to promote conservation
awareness.
5.12 Control forms
prescriptions and suggestions contained in para 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, 5.11 and their corresponding
sub-paras the performance parameters and norms for all the prescriptions shall be reported on
an annual basis in the following control forms. Separate forms shall be used for recording
measures prescribed, measures suggested and measures neither prescribed nor
suggested, but mentioned. The measures taken in respect of each prescription shall be
clearly spelt out. The object is to have an accurate qualitative and quantitative record to know
what exactly is prescribed and what exactly is implemented.
5.12.2 The control form in respect of regulation of regeneration will be in Form no - 1, 2 and
3 as per the table given in Appendix – 42, 43 and 44.
5.12.3 The usufruct-wise record of removals of NTFPs from each unit shall be maintained
regularly indicating the quantity harvested and the revenue released.
168
CHAPTER-6
6. JOINT FOREST MANAGEMENT WORKING CIRCLE

(OVERLAPPING)
6.1 Introduction
6.1.1 The National Forest Policy gives priority to the people’s involvement in the
development and protection of forests. It envisages that forest management programmes be
re-oriented in such a manner that they respond to the needs of the rural community. In
pursuance of this policy, the Government of India issued guidelines in June 1990 to all the
States to adopt JFM. The guidelines provided for participation of local people in protection of
forests. This participation is to be encouraged through an additional incentive of share in final
proceeds in addition to usual rights. All forestry activity is to be planned and executed
keeping the interest of people in view. The needs of the community are required to be
accommodated in the Management Plan or the Micro plan. The Village Forest Committees
[VFCs] are the basic units of JFM. They are empowered to function as self governing and
financially viable village bodies. The Forest Department is an active participant in this
process and acts as a facilitator to enlist the support of other government departments,
panchayats, mass media etc. With this spirit, the Government of Karnataka has evolved a
comprehensive programme called the Joint Forest Planning and Management [JFPM]. The
program is strengthened with introduction of Section-31(A) in the Karnataka Forest
Act,1963, wherein provision is made for the constitution of VFCs (Part-I, Chapter-8, para
8.1.1). Though reasonable progress has been achieved so far in implementing the JFPM
programme in the division, the process needs to be further strengthened by bringing more
forest area in its fold. This presupposes that more number of VFCs be constituted in addition
to the existing 213 nos. Since most of the forest areas are open forests with a canopy density
of 10-25% and since the Government order, dated 19-06-2002 stipulates that forests with a
canopy cover 25% or less can be brought under JFPM there is immense scope for bringing
more areas under JFPM by constituting more number of VFCs. Hence, the Working Circle.
6.2.1 Consistent with the GO No.FEE-50-FAP-2000, dated 19-06-2002, this working circle
is constituted by bringing all degraded forests having density less than 25%. This would be
an overlapping working circle.
169
6.3.1 Barring a few pockets of Devarayanadurga RF, Kolikal RF and Madhugiri RF, the
vegetation varies from deciduous forests to vast extent of dry thorny scrub with unequal
distribution of trees among age classes. The canopy density is generally between 10-25%.

6.4.1 This working circle is constituted with the following specific objectives consistent with
the general objectives mentioned in Part-II, chapter-1, para 1.1.
 To create durable assets and to create awareness among the people with
active involvement of women and to ensure their participation in
protection, regeneration and utilisation of forest resources.
 Enhancement of livelihood opportunities of people dependent on forests.
6.5.1 Since this is an overlapping working circle coming within Protection and biodiversity
working circle, Improvement working circle and Plantation working circle, a separate
assessment of growing stock is of no relevance.
6.6 Regulation of harvest and regeneration
6.6.1 No separate regulations are prescribed either for harvesting activities or for regeneration
activities. The harvesting and regeneration activities in areas where Village Forest
Committees are already constituted or likely to be constituted, would be as per the schedule
fixed in the respective micro plans. The working plan prescriptions made in the Protection and
biodiversity conservation working circle, Improvement working circle, Plantation working
circle and Miscellaneous Regulations shall apply mutatis-mutandis to such of the JFM areas
coming under the respective working circles.
6.7.1 It could be seen from Part-I, Chapter-8, para 8.1.1 and Appendix-20, that only
20,633.48 hectare of forest land (18.33%) is under JFM. With a view to consolidate the gains,
it is suggested to bring more area under JFM. Say another 60,000 hectare shall be brought
under JFM during the current plan period either by reassigning the areas among the existing
VFCs ( it appears that the area allotted to each of the VFCs that are already formed is
170
erroneous, done on an ad hoc basis without considering the area of dependence of the village
community) or by constituting new VFCs appropriately. The number of new VFCs that may
have to be constituted would be around 100.
6.7.2 Wherever the management plans have become redundant due to expiry, the revision
may be completed in a period of two years from the commencement of the plan.
6.7.3 The activities of the 213 VFCs that are already constituted has to be revived so as to
make these bodies self reliant. Appropriate income generation activities shall be taken up
along with awareness programmes.
Methodology of Micro planning
6.7.4 Micro planning is the key activity of JFPM. Preparing a micro plan requires a
thorough ground work. The following methodology is suggested to evolve micro plans. Since
the parameters of micro planning vary, only a broad guideline is suggested.
6.7.5 Baseline Survey (Socio-economic and resource survey): This is the first step to
determine the dependence of the people on the forests, for which certain pre-requisite data is
needed. Data regarding the profession, income, requirement of fuel, small timber, fencing and
thatching material, fodder, NTFPs etc. will be collected. Seasonal variation if any may be
taken note of. Necessary PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) and RRA (Rapid Rural
Appraisal) techniques may be made use of to elicit information from the villagers. The forest
area that is to be assigned to the VFC will also be determined during the survey.
6.7.6 Demarcation and allotment of areas to the VFC: Having decided the areas to be
assigned to the VFC based on the inference from the survey, the area shall be clearly
demarcated on the ground as well as on a topo map, preferably to a scale of 1:5000. The
VFC shall focus its activities in such areas clearly assigned to them.
6.7.7 Bench-mark study and treatment mapping: Once the VFC area is finalized, it is
necessary to have a clear picture of the present status of the forest so as to arrive at a bench
mark and to evolve suitable treatment packages to improve the condition. Profuse visual
documentation of the present status shall be made using photographs, video etc.
6.7.8 Soil Mapping: All the existing streams, nalas and other water bodies will be marked
on the topo map classifying into seasonal and perennial. The status of soil erosion will be
determined by intense perambulation and will be indicated on the map classifying the area
under sheet erosion, rills and gullies etc. with different colours. The rainfall pattern and
171
runoff will be ascertained. Apart from the technical inference, information will be ascertained
and corroborated based on the knowledge of the VFC members. Based on this information,
suitable measures for arresting soil erosion and run-off can be determined. Excess water if
any can be diverted for the benefit of adjoining fields. While determining soil conservation
measures like check dams, nala bunds, gully plugging etc. priorities should be decided in
consultation with the user groups regarding the design consideration, cost effectiveness etc.
6.7.9 Vegetation Mapping: The existing nature and condition of the forest will be
indicated in the map. The areas shall be categorized as “open forests with root stock”,
“degraded open forests without root stock”, etc by different colours. Plantations shall be
indicated clearly along with the species. Valuable trees will be enumerated. Block containing
important trees yielding NTFPs, medicinal and aromatic plants shall be indicated on the map.
To avoid any confusion of having too many details, two sets of maps may be prepared, one
showing the nature of stock (stock map) and another based on the value. Such vegetation
maps help in prescribing appropriate need-based treatment packages and also in determining
the protection strategy for valuable stand.
6.7.10 Wildlife resource mapping: The wildlife resources of the region showing the
approximate number, territory, frequently sighted locations may be indicated. This facilitates
to take up measures for habitat improvement like creation of water holes, planting fruit
yielding trees, closure of certain areas from interferences etc.
6.7.11 Preparation of management plan: After deliberations involving the above aspects
and considering such other aspects specific to the region, a management plan shall be evolved
for a period of 5 years. The management plan shall prescribe the quantity and modality for
removal of forest produce. While finalizing the management plan, the cost-benefit analysis of
each operation will be done and discussed with the committee to decide the priorities. Having
worked out the priorities, the detailed plan will be drawn up indicating the area set aside for
different purposes, cost-estimates, manpower requirement etc. In case of plantations, the
choice of species will be determined in consultation with the VFC members and the working
plan. The plan shall indicate the protection measures against encroachment, fire, grazing,
felling etc.
172
6.7.12 The management plan prescriptions shall be consistent with the working plan
regulations.
6.7.13 Memorandum of Understanding: Issues pertaining to the memorandum of

understanding, duties and responsibilities of the VFCs, other conditions stipulated for JFM,
role of Government departments, disposal of forest produce and benefit sharing, the role of
NGOs are detailed in the Government order no. FEE-50-FAP-2000, dated 19-06-2002 which
shall be adhered to.
6.7.14 In brief the methodology of JFM is represented in the following chart:

6.8 Control forms
6.8.1 The control forms that are prescribed in Protection and biodiversity conservation
working circle, Improvement working circle, Plantation working circle and NTFP working
circle in respect of improvement, harvesting and regeneration shall be maintained with
suitable modification in the format of reporting for recording the works prescribed in the
respective management plans of the VFCs.
173
CHAPTER-7
7. MISCELLANEOUS REGULATIONS
7.1 Introduction
7.1.1 Miscellaneous regulations are to be construed as “miscellaneous” only in content

and the importance should not be undermined. The regulations prescribed in the
ensuing paragraphs are as important as those prescribed in the respective working
circles and therefore should not be under treated.
7.2 Forest fire management
7.2.1 The deleterious effects of fire and the lack of preparedness to tackle forest fires are
detailed in Part-1, Chapter-4, para 4.2. The following preventive and remedial measures are
suggested. The strategy includes identification of fire prone areas, preventive measures in the
identified areas and monitoring of fire accidents and control operations.
7.2.2 Establishment of fire breaks along the external and internal boundaries of the
management units, i.e. compartment, block etc. shall be made a regular feature. Fire tracing
of boundaries of all forest blocks and plantations should be done by clearing fire lines.
7.2.3 In large forest blocks, internal fire lines running across the entire length and breadth
approximately dividing into sub-blocks of 250 hectare shall be cleared to a minimum width
of 3 meters. These lines can also serve as inspection paths.
7.2.4 The clearing and burning of fire lines must be done in the following manner.
 The fire lines will be thoroughly cleared of all grass and other growth and
the cut material spread evenly along the cleared line. When the material is
dried sufficiently burning must be started and completed by January-31st.
On no account, any burning should be allowed afterwards.
 Burning should always be supervised by a Deputy Range Forest Officer
(Forester) or a Forest Guard. The Officer in charge of burning must muster
sufficient men during the burning operations which must always be done
after 4.00 pm.
7.2.5 Adequate fire patrol personnel should be engaged from January 1st and their services
may be dispensed with after the commencement of rainy season. Fire patrol personnel should
be provided with fire resistant clothing, common fire fighting equipment like shovels, fire
rakes, and bill hooks etc. The duties of the fire patrol party are:
174
 To clear the fire lines of rank growth.
 To sweep the dry leaves and other dry material off the fire lines.
 To patrol the forests round the clock day and night.
 To inform nearest forest officer immediately about fire and help them
putting it off.
7.2.6 Watch towers should be constructed at strategic points so as to command a larger view
of the forest area. These towers will act as fire finders so that any incidence of fire is noticed
early and acted upon.
7.2.7 Fire patrol personnel, Forester, Forest Guards shall be provided with radio equipment
like walkie-talkies. The wireless station at the Range head quarters or the mobile stations can
monitor and co-ordinate the wireless communication system.
7.2.8 Annual estimates of fire protection works should be prepared for each Range showing
the clearing of fire lines, internal lines, location of the watch towers, fire patrol personnel
required etc. Areas susceptible for fire must be marked on the map.
7.2.9 All incidences of fire should be marked on the fire maps. Correct assessment of
damages and losses due to fire should be done. This will reflect upon the gravity of the
situation and allocation of funds for taking steps to prevent as well as fight fires.
7.2.10 At times, fire is allowed to spread and get extinguished on its own due to the presence
of natural barriers. The subordinates rarely take such incidences seriously. Many petty
incidences are not reported at all. This sort of neglect by the subordinates should be viewed
seriously. The cause of fire should be thoroughly investigated.
7.2.11 Areas burnt should be closed to grazing for a period of 5 years.
7.2.12 Since the cause of a large number of forest fire is attributed to human failures, the
participation of village community in fire control assumes considerable importance. The
co-operation of local population to prevent and control forest fire is to be elicited by clearly
specifying the future benefits that will accrue to the community as a result of their efforts at
forest protection. Such partnerships between the local community and the Forest department
could form the basis for effective protection.
7.2.13 In order to stream line the forest fire management, it is suggested to establish forest
fire disaster management committee with the following structure:
175
 President, Village Forest Committee - President
 Forester (Section concerned) - Member-Secretary
 Secretary, Gram Panchayat - Member
 Agricultural assistant - Member
 Local NGO - Member
7.2.14 The committee should meet as frequently as possible during the fire season, deliberate
and adopt suitable protection measures.
7.2.15 The approximate length of demarcation lines to be maintained would be around 2000
kms. The approximate extent of fire lines for each of the forest block is given in Appendix-
45. For the purpose of estimates, the internal lines to be cleared may be reckoned as half of
the external demarcation lines. However, the exact length is variable depending on the terrain
and direction of the winds.
7.2.16 Pre-determining the number of fire watchers to be engaged is a difficult job

considering the variability in terrain and susceptibility of different forests to fire. However, in
the normal course deployment of one fire watcher for every 250 hectares, from January 1st to
May 31st would seem adequate. Additional labour may be engaged during exigencies.
7.3 Invasive species and weed management
7.3.1 Since almost all the forest blocks are open forest with a crown density of below 40%
they are infested with invasive weeds like Lantana camara, Chromolaena odorata
(Eupatorium) and Parthenium hysterophorus (Part-I, Chapter-4, para 4.6). Ridding the weed
population enmasse is an utopian concept that is neither possible nor desirable because it
involves huge expenditure. Past attempts at only removing Lantana (part-I, para 11.2.4)
without follow up treatment point to the futility of the exercise. The only alternative would be
to progressively restore tree growth which would eventually suppress the weeds. However,
on a pilot basis removal of Lantana camara may be done in one of the forest blocks say
Devarayanadurga RF over an extent of about 100 hectares to study the economics as well as
the impact of the removal. The efficacy of the weed control program may be evaluated in this
experimental area on a regular basis. The following strategies may be adopted.
 Removal of Lantana camara by uprooting.

 Removal of other weeds under trees that are used for perching by birds which act as
vectors of Lantana seed dispersal, followed by spraying herbal weedicides.
176
 Exploring the possibility of using Lantana in light furniture and basket making similar
to canes. The VFC may be actively involved.
7.4 Infrastructure development and maintenance
7.4.1 Over the years, many residential and non residential buildings have been constructed in
the past. Many of these assets are not maintained for want of funds and some of these are in a
bad shape. Maintenance of buildings should be made an annual feature and it is suggested
that sufficient funds be earmarked for the purpose.
7.4.2 In order to fulfil the objectives of the plan, the field level officers have to shoulder
enormous responsibilities in executing and supervising field works very intimately. The
Range forest officer and the Deputy Range forest officer may be provided with modern
vehicles to cope with the challenges of forest protection issues.
7.5 Wildlife management
7.5.1 Over the years, conservation issues pertaining to wildlife has not received much
attention. This is probably because larger animals are scarce. However, wildlife management
is an integral part of natural resource management and as such is addressed in this section.
Objectives:
 Providing site specific habitat inputs for viable population of predators

and prey animals without distorting the natural prey-predator ecological
cycle.
 Habitat improvement and water resource development.
 Addressing man-animal conflicts.
 Co-existence agenda in forest fringe areas with landscape approach.
 Protection.
7.5.2 Important areas from wildlife point of view in the division, the various fauna and their
habitat, issues pertaining to various threats and challenges to wildlife, man-animal conflict
etc. Are highlighted in Part-I, Chapter-3, para 3.6 to 3.8. The following strategy is
prescribed for the entire division in general and the lone conservation area i.e., the
Jayamangali Blackbuck Conservation Reserve at Mydanahalli, in particular.
7.5.3 Restoration of habitat through development of wildlife fodder resources, water

resource, promoting ecological niches to the wildlife through protection measures is very
177
important. The regulation of protection and associated regulations contained in Part-II,
Chapter-2 (Protection and biodiversity conservation Working circle) shall mutatis-mutandis,
apply to wildlife rich areas also.
7.5.4 Man-animal conflict resolving issues like uniform and timely payment of ex-gratia for
human injuries and mortality, live-stock depredation and crop depredation, shall be given
importance and disposed off expeditiously.
7.5.5 Measures to immunise the cattle that is allowed to graze in the wildlife areas shall be
taken up to prevent spread of communicable diseases specifically in Jayamangali Blackbuck
Conservation Reserve and Devarayanadurga RF. Co-operation of the Department of Animal
Health and Veterinary Sciences may be sought to evolve appropriate strategies consistent
with the local needs.
7.5.6 Eco-development as well as JFM activities shall be implemented using a participatory

strategy as codified by the State.
7.5.7 Anti poaching personnel may be deployed to prevent possible poaching of Blackbuck
in Jayamangali Blackbuck Conservation Reserve. The Deputy Conservator of Forests may
decide regarding the number of such personnel.
7.5.8 Supportive wildlife education and interpretation aimed at wider public appreciation of
the importance of wildlife to human betterment shall be promoted with appropriate
propaganda using suitable audio-visual and print media. The existing
interpretation/information centre of Namadachilume may be utilized for such activities. A
similar centre may be established at Madhugiri and Pavagada considering the proximity to
the Jayamangali Blackbuck Conservation Reserve, Thimmalapura, and at Nidagal forest
(Pavagada).
7.5.9 Other strategies mentioned under subheads, forest fire management, grazing etc., are
also relevant for proper management of wildlife in the division and the activities prescribed
under respective heads shall be made applicable.
7.6 Ecotourism
7.6.1 The ecotourism potential of the forests of Tumkur division has been detailed in Part-I,
Chapter-8, para 8.6. The Jayamangali Blackbuck Conservation Reserve at Mydanahalli, the
178
forests of Devarayanadurga and Siddarabetta are the tourist hotspots. Though ecotourism is
an important tool for the sustainable management of forests, it is one of the most debated
issues because of its limitation with reference to conservation. Too much movement of the
visitors would certainly alter the foraging and reproductive behaviour of the resident wildlife.
A balance need to be struck, by proper planning to maintain a viable status with respect to
tourists interest and conservation interest. The following measures are suggested.
7.6.2 The movement of tourists in forests mentioned in para 6.6.1 may be limited to the
fringes. Only a guided package may be allowed to conduct the tourists in small batches
separated by reasonable intervals.
7.6.3 The practice of cooking by the roads passing through the forest blocks shall be banned
since it may kindle serious forest fire. The measure may cause some resentment among the
tourists. Such activities may be curbed by educating the tourists.
7.6.4 The facilities at Namadhachilume may be let to the visitors particularly school
children to create conservation awareness among them.
7.6.5 Facilities for camping, trekking, bird watching, botanisation, etc., may be provided.
7.6.6 Awareness programmes shall be conducted by using appropriate audio-visual and print
media.
7.6.7 The Sidda Sanjeevini Aushadhi Vana at Namadhachilume is the face of ecotourism in
Tumkur district. It has not received as much attention as it should have due to lack of proper
maintenance. This herbal garden should be maintained regularly so as to draw the visitors.
7.6.8 No permanent structures should be built.
7.7 Sandal wood
7.7.1 The Government of Karnataka through its order No.FEE 16 FSW 2001 Bangalore,
dated 5th September, 2002 has made changes in the Karnataka Forest Rules to facilitate
growing and sale of sandalwood by private growers. The Government has removed the need
of filing declaration by the private owners with the Deputy Conservator of Forests about the
sandalwood trees standing on their lands. The Government has given freedom to the grower
to sell his sandalwood either to the State Government or to any State Government
undertaking notified by the State Government from time to time. The Government has made
it mandatory that the rates at which value of sandalwood has to be paid to the owner shall be
179
fixed for each financial year based on average prices obtained for sandalwood in the auction
sales.
7.7.2 The Government has fixed a time frame for giving permission to the owner for felling
sandal trees. The Government has also laid down that permission for felling of trees which
are wind-fallen, trees that constitute a danger to life or property, trees that are required to be
removed for extension of cultivation shall not ordinarily be refused.
7.7.3 The Government has also made provision for extraction, stacking and transport of
sandalwood by owner himself under supervision of the Forest Guard. The Government has
also laid down that value of sandalwood shall be paid to the owner as soon as possible but not
later than three months from the date of receipt of the material in the depot.
7.7.4 The Government has removed the obligation on part of the owner to report all cases of
damage or theft of sandal trees in his land to nearest Forest or Police Officer.
7.7.5 In the plan under revision, Sri Range Gowda has dealt issues pertaining to sandal under
a separate working circle. However, it is felt that sandal bearing areas are not extensive
enough to constitute a separate working circle. Sandal occurs scattered in various densities
in the forests as well as in private holdings. The crop is rather young with little or no mature
trees at all. In order to increase the population above critical levels, it is imperative that
suitable management interventions be evolved. The following management prescriptions are
suggested.
7.7.6 Sowing of sandal seeds in all regeneration areas, a practice of the past shall be taken up
on a large scale.
7.7.7 In areas conducive to sandal as in Kampalapura RF, Marashettihalli RF, Harenahalli

RF, etc., sandal estates may be created consistent with the General Guidelines 2012 for
Species and Planting Technique models brought out by the Forest Department.
7.7.8 Tending of natural regeneration should be attended on priority. Sandal is too tender to
withstand smothering. Young regeneration is often smothered by dense undergrowth of
Lantana and other bushes limiting the chances of establishment. Tending operations shall be
an annual feature and can be attended to before the rains so as to avail the favourable
atmospheric conditions. The following operations are suggested:
 Climbers and overhanging branches of other shrubs to be cut.
180
 Care shall be exercised not to destroy plants that may serve as hosts to
the sandal saplings. Such species may only be pollarded so as to ease out
the congestion.
 Natural regeneration may be encouraged by working the soil under

healthy trees to a depth of 15cms preceding seed fall.
7.7.9 As there are no mature trees to remove, the only treatment feasible is that of removal
of dead trees, stumps and trees killed by natural causes. The silvicultural system to be
adopted is selection system.
7.7.10 Marking, extraction and conversion will be executed departmentally as per the
provisions of the Code and orders issued from time to time.
7.7.11 Yield: The yield is directly proportional to the number of dead trees at the time of
working and the quantity of heart wood present. Since the heart wood content bears little
relation to the girth, it is not possible to forecast the yield or to regulate the yield either by
area or by number of trees.
7.8 Upkeep of boundaries

7.8.1 It is obvious that the demarcation and upkeep of forest boundaries is essential to avoid
encroachments. The clearance and maintenance of forest boundaries shall be the work of
local beat subordinates. Most of the boundaries are overgrown and are to be cleared and
maintained. Maintenance of boundaries is to be made a regular duty in the range routine
which has to be frequently inspected by the officers. Boundary stones/cairns have to be
painted every year. Any missing number should be promptly replaced. The provision of Para
(ii), Chapter-VI of the Karnataka Forest Manual is reproduced for guidance. “Forest being a
special kind of landed property, the first requisite for its effective protection is to
demarcate its boundaries in such a manner that nobody is left in any doubt as to its
limit”
7.8.2 Mention is made in Part-I, Chapter-2, para 2.3.4 that 105 notified forest blocks need to
be resurveyed and demarcated. The forest blocks shall be resurveyed and demarcated as per
the time frame given in Appendix-46.
7.8.3 The resurveyed area should be incorporated in the latest village maps. While
resurveying, care must be taken that sufficient references are made to the topographical
181
features to enable the plotted boundaries to be correctly placed on the control map. Missing
boundary stones or cairns if any shall be replaced.
7.8.4 Survey and demarcation of “Deemed forests” referred in Part-I, Chapter-2, para 2.1.4
shall be taken up as and when the committees constituted to reclassify the areas included as
“Deemed forests”, completes the task (Part-I, Chapter-2, para 2.1.6). Tentatively the extent
of such “Deemed forests” is around 22,000 hectares.
7.9 Forest settlement and updation of forest land records

7.9.1 It could be seen from Table-2 that as many as 36 blocks spread over 10,636.32
hectares are notified under section-4 of Karnataka Forest Act,1963 and are being settled
(Part-I, Chapter-2, para 2.1.7). In certain cases, though the notifications were issued long ago
the process of settlement is rather slow. It is suggested that the Head of the Department move
the Government to appoint an exclusive Forest Settlement officer to look into the matter since
the Revenue Sub-division officers who are the authorized officers cannot devote much of
their time to this issue.
7.9.2 The process of mutation of forest land in revenue records is rather slow. A systematic
procedure is lacking in making entries in the RTC. An extent of 41,069.18 hectares of forest
land needs to be mutated in favour of Forest Department (Appendix-8). It is suggested that
the process be completed very early.
7.10 Grazing, removing grass and litter collection

7.10.1 The deleterious impact and the status of grazing, removing grass and litter collection
are detailed in Part-1, Chapter-4. The following remedial measures are suggested to regulate
grazing, removing grass and litter removal.
7.10.2 Grazing shall be regulated in accordance with the provisions of Chapter-VIII of the
Karnataka Forest Rules, 1969. Cattle trespass in a reserved forest, village forest or in a
portion of district forest which has been lawfully closed for grazing attracts the provisions of
Chapter-VIII of the Karnataka Forest Act, 1963, which should be enforced.
7.10.3 Rotational grazing is suggested in open areas, though it has not found favour with the
villagers.
7.10.4 Goats should not be permitted for grazing even in areas open for grazing.
7.10.5 Removal of grass in head loads for the bonafide use of the village community may be
allowed. The VFC may set the terms in the micro plans.
182
7.10.6 Grass shall not be uprooted. Only sickles to be used for grass cutting.
7.10.7 Sweeping of forest floor for collection of litter for fuel shall be prohibited since it
results in appreciable nutrient drain from the site resulting in rapid degradation.
7.11 Identification and notification of non forest land that is to be handed over in lieu of
forest land diverted for non forestry purposes
7.11.1 It is observed that locations selected for compensatory afforestations in areas that are
handed over in lieu of forest areas diverted to non-forestry purposes are isolated and
distributed in a scattered manner, rendering future management difficult. This has often led to
a situation where in multiple proposals are sent for their notification in respect of plantations
raised in the same locality. It is suggested to identify homogeneous blocks, preferably above
40 hectares for the purpose of taking up compensatory afforestation and take action to notify
either as protected forest or as a reserve forest in one go.
7.11.2 As against the diversion of 209.56 hectares of forest land for various non-forestry
purposes (para 2.4.6) only 32.17 hectares of non-forest land has been made available. The
Deputy Conservator of Forests shall examine, and take appropriate action for transfer of non-
forest land equal to the extent that is diverted, within a period of six months.
7.11.3 It is mandatory to notify such of the areas that are made available in lieu of the forest
land that is diverted for non forestry purposes within the stipulated time. The Deputy
Conservator of forests shall initiate action to notify such areas as either Reserved forests or
Protected forests within a period of six months.
7.12 Computing extent and nomenclature of regeneration areas
7.12.1 All regeneration and exploitation activities are quantified in terms of area. It is often
the practice, in regeneration activities, only the net area is determined taking the espacement
into consideration and ignoring the gross area. This leads to discrepancies in the figures
pertaining to the extent of forest land available and the extent treated. All forestry activities
shall be quantified in terms of gross area only.
7.12.2 There are discrepancies between the total extent of plantations raised as per records
and the actual extent of plantations in the field. These discrepancies have possibly arisen
because, on many occasions, plantations have been raised either in failed areas on in areas
where plantations are extracted.
183
7.12.3 To reconcile these discrepancies, a range-wise assessment of all the plantations
(physical inventory) be carried out within a period of two years.
7.12.4 It is generally observed that there is no uniform pattern followed in naming the
regeneration areas often leading to confusion regarding its location. The nomenclature should
follow a uniform procedure. The year of regeneration should be mentioned first, invariably
followed by the name of the village in whose limit the regeneration area is situated and later
followed by the name of the forest block. The following example shall be followed:
 2012 regeneration area (------- model) – Aladamaradapalya, Devarayanadurga RF
 2012 regeneration area (------- model) – Laxmipura, Kampalapura RF
7.13 Petty fellings and extractions
7.13.1 Petty fellings and extraction for research and training needs shall be permitted with
explicit permission from the Chief Conservator of Forests concerned and the Working Plan
Officer.
7.14 Preservation plots
7.14.1 One preservation plot of 5.00 hectares shall be laid out in each of the notified forest
block, so as to preserve such plot as a representative patch to study and co-relate the changes
in vegetation.
7.14.2 A benchmark assessment of the growing stock shall be made in such preservation
plots duly recording the species composition, distribution of trees in various diameter classes,
basal area, volume and the status of regeneration. Periodic reassessment for the above
parameter shall be made, say once in 2 years. The data will be useful for future assessment of
the growing stock.
184
CHAPTER-8
8. CONTROL AND RECORDS
8.1.1 To ensure continuity of management and to exercise effective control over the
implementation of prescriptions and suggestions the control forms prescribed for each
working circle shall be maintained and posted at the end of each year. The control forms for
the miscellaneous regulations shall be as prescribed in para-51 of the Karnataka Forest Code.
8.1.2 Control maps will be maintained for each of the working circles showing areas actually
planted, plantations extracted etc.
8.1.3 Any large and unusual operation, variation in achievement of harvest and regeneration
with reference to the prescribed regulations constitutes a deviation. The check is through
deviation statement in relation to the control forms. Any deviation beyond 20% will
constitute a major deviation.
8.1.4 The deviation statement will be in the following format.

8.1.5 The officer in charge of the division will forward the statement of deviations through
the Head of the territorial circle, in triplicate every year. No explanatory remarks are required
on this form. Any explanation should be given in a forwarding letter.
8.1.6 All minor deviations, which do not permanently alter the basis of management, may be
approved and sanctioned by the Head, Working Plan Organization on behalf of the PCCF
(HOFF) provided he agrees with the necessity of these deviations. One copy of the statement
will be returned to the DFO territorial through the Head, territorial circle after the deviations
have been sanctioned by the Head, Working Plan Organisation and the other copy will be
sent to WPO for record.
8.1.7 For all major deviations the prior sanction of the PCCF (HOFF) should be obtained in
advance. The sanction number and date should be quoted in the last column.
185
8.1.8 For major deviations with respect to prescriptions where sanction of the MoEF is
mandatory, an explanatory note along with request for regularization has to be sent to
RAPCCF (MOEF) through the PCCF (HOFF).
8.1.9 Deviation occurring due to fire or any sudden accident necessitating a sudden change
of the plan may be sanctioned by the head of working plan organisation in anticipation of
approval from the PCCF.

CHAPTER-9
9. GENERAL FINANCIAL FORECAST AND FINANCIAL PLAN OF OPERATION
9.1 Estimated expenditure
9.1.1 The annual financial requirement for various activities envisaged in this plan is
tentatively forecast working circle-wise in the ensuing paragraphs. The budgetary
requirement shall be met with the funds provided under various schemes by the State
government as well as by the Central government. All available resources shall be utilised to
implement the prescribed regulations and suggestions of this working plan. The amount
estimated is exclusive of establishment and other overheads. The total outlay for the plan
period from 2015-16 to 2024-25 is estimated at Rs. 9841.46 lakhs. The estimates are based on
the Sanctioned Schedule of Rates that are in force during 2015-16. The estimates are only
indicative and are subject to change based on the possible revision of rates every year
and package of practices.
9.1.2 A statement of annual budget estimates is given in Table-38. The Improvement

Working Circle accounts for nearly 42% of the probable expenditure followed by Plantation
Working Circle (28%), Miscellaneous Regulations (14%), JFM (overlapping) working circle
(6%) ,Protection and biodiversity Conservation working circle 5% and NTFP (overlapping)
working circle (5%) in that order.

9.2 Estimated Revenue
9.2.1 It is estimated that a sum of Rs. 501.56 lakhs would be realised by the sale of about
50150 m3 of wood derived from the extraction of 4559.06 hectare of Eucalyptus and mixed
fuel wood plantations @ Rs. 1500/metric ton or Rs.1000/m3 assuming that 1.5 m3 of green
wood would weigh 1 MT. Another Rs. 20.00 lakhs is expected to accrue by the sale of NTFP
usufructs. The statement of the probable expenditure and the anticipated revenue at Table 45
appears rather skewed, the expenditure outweighing the revenue. This is understandable
because no harvesting of timber will be done barring extractions of certain Eucalyptus
and mixed fuel wood plantations. Revenue realised from the sale of NTFPs is not
substantial.
9.2.2 However, consistent with the management objectives of the plan forests are
viewed not as a source of revenue but as a natural resource that contribute towards
ecosystem services which are often intangible.

CHAPTER-10
10. SUMMARY OF PRESCRIPTIONS
1. Forests are highly degraded, further regressing to even drier Para 1.1.1
types. It is necessary to recognise the environmental, social and
economic values of the forest and come out with sound
management strategy.
2. Management objectives are, Protection, conservation and Para 1.1.2

consolidation of forests and wildlife, qualitative and quantitative
enhancement of forest and biodiversity. sustainable management
of forests, rendering ecosystem services and people’s
participation in protection, regeneration and sustainable
utilization of forest resources.
3. Various performance indicators for different management Para 1.1.3 - 1.1.4

objectives are set forth.
4. Exploitation of natural forests for fuel, fodder, timber and Para 1.2.1
charcoal is prohibited. Restoration of habitat will be taken up in
certain identified forest blocks. Certain Eucalyptus and mixed
fuel wood plantations will be harvested, besides raising new fuel
and small timber plantations. Utilization of NTFPs and MAPs
are regulated. Soil and moisture conservation works will be
given importance. JFPM will be implemented in its true spirit.
5. All the recorded forest area is brought under this Working Plan. Para 1.3.1 - 1.3.5
Five Working Circles are constituted. Protection and
Biodiversity Working Circle, Improvement Working Circle and
Plantation Working Circle are exclusive Working Circles. NTFP
Working Circle and JFM Working Circle are overlapping.
Prescriptions not covered under the Working Circles are dealt
under chapter on Miscellaneous regulations.
194
6. The Working Plan will be in operation for a period of 10 years Para 1.4.1
from 1-4-2015 to 31-3-2025, with scope for mid-term
assessment.
7. Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Working Circle is Para 2.2.1 - 2.9.1

constituted. All forest areas irrespective of their legal status
barring the areas brought under Improvement Working Circle
and Plantation Working Circle are brought under Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Working Circle. Protection and
Biodiversity Conservation Working Circle covers about 82.8%
of the forest area extending over 93,195.94 hectares. In view of
the poor growing stock. No harvesting will be done in natural
forests. The forests will be protected from grazing, fire and illicit
cutting. Consolidation of forest boundaries and eviction of
encroachment will receive priority. Activities involving
disturbance to forest floor, canopy cover and formation of new
roads is prohibited.
8. Improvement Working Circle is constituted. The treatment Para 3.1.1 - 3.9.2

package revolves around Assisted natural regeneration (ANR)
and eco-restoration models. The working circle extends over
10,000 hectares accounting for about 8.8% of the forest area
forming the catchment of Krishna and Kaveri rivers. The general
character of vegetation, special objectives are discussed. Ten
thousand hectares will be intensively treated by promoting
natural regeneration and Assisted Natural Regeneration (ANR).
Ten improvement series are constituted. Species compatible with
the surrounding vegetation will be planted ensuring a multi tier
canopy. NTFP yielding species will also be planted. Certain
associated regulations and measures are prescribed. Soil
conservation measures will be an integral component of the
treatment. To ensure effective control over the implementation
of prescriptions and suggestions control forms are prescribed.
195
9. Plantation Working Circle is constituted. It accounts for 8.24 % Para 4.1.1 - 4.19.3
of the recorded forest area and extends over 9359.06 hectares. It
is constituted so as to harvest 4559.06 hectares of certain
Eucalyptus and mixed fuel wood plantations. Silvicultural
system would be clear felling followed by coppice management
or replanting. The rotation age for Eucalyptus is fixed at 12
years. Ten harvesting series are constituted. Yield is regulated by
area. The average yield across different age groups is 11 m3 per
hectare. Table of felling and method of felling are prescribed.
About 4800 hectares would be put to productive use by raising
fuel and small timber plantations. The silvicultural system is
artificial regeneration. Annual regeneration areas are scheduled.
Ten regeneration series are constituted. Planting density, core
species and planting design are prescribed. Certain other
associated regulations and measures are also prescribed. Soil and
moisture conservation works will be an integral component of
the treatment. To ensure effective control over the
implementation of prescriptions and suggestions control forms
are prescribed.
10. NTFP Working Circle is constituted. It is an overlapping Para 5.1.1 - 5.12.3

Working Circle. Tamarind, Maradi, Seethaphal and Alale are the
important NTFPs whose utilization is regulated. Wherever
Village Forest Committees (VFCs) are formed each VFC will be
an independent lease unit. Till such time the VFCs are formed,
Range would be an independent lease unit. Collection of Tupra
leaves and tanning barks is suspended during the plan period.
Destructive harvesting method is prohibited. Utilization schedule
is prescribed. About 1000 hectares would be brought under
NTFP plantations. The silvicultural system is artificial
regeneration with support irrigation if needed. Important NTFP
species like Hunse, Nelli, Bevu, Maradi and Alale will be
planted. Nine regeneration series are constituted. Certain
196
associated regulations and measures are prescribed. Regulations
pertaining to medicinal and aromatic plants are also prescribed.
A treatment package for MPCA at Devarayanadurga is
prescribed. To ensure effective control over the implementation
of prescriptions and suggestions control forms are prescribed.
11. JFM Working Circle is constituted. It is an overlapping Working Para 6.1.1 - 6.8.1
Circle. At present only 20,633.48 hectares is under JFM. The
process of JFPM needs to be further strengthened by bringing
more forest area in its ambit. The Working Plan prescriptions
made in Protection and Improvement Working Circle as well as
in Plantation Working Circle shall mutatis-mutandis apply in
matters related to harvest and regeneration. It is suggested to
bring about 60,000 hectares under JFM during the plan period by
reassigning the areas among the existing VFCs and by
constituting about 100 new VFCs. The existing 213 VFCs need
to be revived. Methodology of micro planning is suggested. To
ensure effective control over the implementation of prescriptions
12. Matters not dealt under the respective Working Circles are dealt Para 7.1.1 - 7.14.2
under “miscellaneous regulations”. Miscellaneous regulations
are to be construed as “miscellaneous” only in content and its
importance should not be undermined. Regulations pertaining to
forest fire management, invasive species and weed management,
infrastructure development and maintenance, wildlife
management, eco-tourism, sandalwood, upkeep of boundaries,
forest settlement and updation of forest land records, grazing,
removing grass and litter collection, petty felling and extractions
and preservation plots are prescribed.
13. To ensure continuity of management and to exercise effective Para 8.1.1 - 8.1.9
control over the implementation of prescriptions and
suggestions, various control forms are prescribed. Any deviation
197
by over 20% would constitute a major deviation as per the
National Working Plan Code-2014. Deviation statement shall be
filed annually. Methodology for obtaining sanction for any
possible deviations is given.
14. The financial requirement for various activities envisaged in this Para 9.1.1 - 9.2.1
plan is tentatively forecast at Rs. 9841.46 lakhs. Working Circle-
wise statement of annual budget estimates are provided. The
Improvement Working Circle accounts for nearly 42% of the
probable expenditure followed by Plantation Working Circle
(28%), Miscellaneous regulations (14%), JFM Working Circle
(6%), Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Working Circle
(5%) and NTFP Working Circle (5%). The anticipated revenue
is about 521.50 lakhs that would be generated by sale of timber,
pulpwood, fuel wood and NTFPs.
