ANNEXURE- J
Sample List of Project Activities
(i)
In situ soil and moisture conservation
measures like contour furrows, staggered trenches, mulching, box trenches,
bench terracing, and vegetative barriers, etc.
(ii)
Soil and moisture
conservation by construction of small scale engineering structures like gully
plugging, check dams, retaining and breast walls, toe walls, spurs and torrent
control measures, small water harvesting structures including ponds, tanks and
such vegetative measures as may be necessary. In the case of projects
implemented in the periphery of national parks and sanctuaries, augmentation of
water supply, facilities for bunds, dams, wells and
for transporting and/or pumping of water may be permitted.
(iii)
Planting and sowing of
multi‑purpose trees, shrubs, grasses, and legumes, as well as non-timber
species.
(iv)
Fuelwood & fodder
plantations including pasture development for meeting biomass needs of the
rural communities.
(v)
Conservation in situ of
medicinal plant species and augmenting their plant population by undertaking
plantation in the watershed.
(vi)
Raising of Bamboo,
cane plantations and medicinal plants.
(vii)
Raising
of coastal shelterbelts in the problem areas.
(viii) Cultural operations like cutting back of existing root-stocks, tending,
coppicing/pollarding, climber cutting, weed removal, soil working to encourage
natural regeneration.
(ix)
Promotion of agro‑forestry
and sericulture etc., as appropriate.
(x)
Wood substitution and
fuelwood conservation measures such as distribution of fuel-efficient stoves.
(xi)
Measures needed to
disseminate new technology such as use of root trainers for raising seedling in
nurseries, mycorrhizal treatment of soils, clonal propagation of plants, etc.
Depending
upon the edaphic and climatic conditions and also upon the needs of the rural
population identified by FDAs and JFMCs, any or all of the above elements of
physical works could be included in a specific project. The project proposals
should be submitted to the NAEB in the prescribed proforma (see Annexures
“D, E & F”).
