11Chapter - 4 : System of Management

4. SYSTEM OF MANAGEMENT

Karnataka forests are managed according to the frame work prescribed in the NationalForest Policy of India 1988. The main themes of forest management are:

• Sustainable development and management of forest meeting needs of the localpeople shall be the first priority of forest management.

• Protection and management of degraded forests through Joint Forest Planningand Management by involving local community through village forest committees.

• Bio-diversity conservation and eco-tourism.

The Forest department is no longer adopting the earlier Silvicultural practices of“conversion to uniform” or “clear felling and planting” systems. Such systems havebeen known to be harmful to the eco system and have a deleterious effect on localfauna and flora. Instead the emphasis is more and more on managing the forests asan eco-system. Timber and firewood production is limited to salvaging the dead andfallen trees of valuable hardwood only. Production of industrial woods is limited toplantationsareas. Extraction of timber, firewood/pulpwood, bamboo & cane is done byway of improvements felling, thinning from plantation and clear felling of fuel woodplantation subject to condition that extracted area must be planted with suitable species.Harvesting of NTFPs is done by LAMPS (Large Scale Adivasi Multipurpose Co-operativeSocieties) as well as contractor.


5. METHODS OF EXTRACTION OF FORESTPRODUCE & ITS DISPOSAL

Only dead and fallen trees are salvaged. The Karnataka State Forest IndustriesCorporation, which is a Government undertaking, is entrusted with the logging work.

Timber and major forest produce for the year 2018-19 is given in Table(5) and RecordedMinor Forest Produce is given in Table(6).

Large Scale Adivasi Multipurpose co-operative Societies (LAMPS):In order to facilitate the forest dwelling tribes to profitably utilize the Non Timber ForestProduce from the forest areas 22 LAMPS have been constituted in the districts ofMysuru, Chamarajanagara, Dakshina Kannada, Chikkmagaluru, Kodagu, UttaraKannada and Udupi. A nominal fee of Rs.250/- is being collected from the LAMPSocieties for allowing them to collect and dispose N.T.F.P.(Non Timber Forest Produce)

METHOD OF DISPOSAL:There are three methods of disposal of timber and other forest produce from theGovernment Depots.

1. By AuctionSale

2. By RetailSale

3. Allotment

i. By Auction Sale:-The timber received in the Depot is arranged into convenient lotsaccording to the quality, girth and length. After arriving at the value of each lot dependingupon the past rates obtained, it is exposed for public cauction. Depot sales areheld normally twice in a year by the concerned Deputy Conservator of Forests.

ii. By Retail Sale:-In this method the timber and other forest produce which are allottedfrom the Depot are released at the schedule rates fixed from time to time. DeputyConservator of Forests and higher officers are empowered to sanction retail saleof timber in small quantities at scheduled rates, which is based on the highest ratesreceived in the previous sales.Such releases are only for bonafide use of the public.

iii. Allotment:-The Government has powers to sanction timber, sandalwood etc.,atconcession rate to institutions and individuals for bonafideuse.

10. WORKING PLANS, SURVEY ANDDEMARCATION

The Working Plan wing of Karnataka Forest Department is entrusted with the task ofpreparing working plans and monitoring implementation of the working plans. It carriesout survey and demarcation of forest areas. The process of constitution and declarationof reserved forests (RF) is also initiated by the Working Plan wing. These works aretaken up under various plan and non-plan schemes of the Department. A state sectorplan scheme, namely, “Working Plan Organization” is exclusively implemented by theWorking Plan wing. Working Plan is a document for scientific management of forest.The preparation of a working plan is a technical operation and the document is preparedwithin a time-frame for a definite period, namely, the working plan period, which isnormally ten years. The document is prepared by the working plan officer afterconsiderable survey, inventory and consultations. Every working plan includes area-specific scientific preions for proper management of the forests of a particular forestdivision. Every working plan is approved by the Central Government in the Ministry ofEnvironment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC). Survey and Demarcation (S&D)works consist of survey of forest boundaries followed by their demarcation on theground by means of RF stones, cairns or RCC pillars. Survey and Demarcation (S&D)works of Block and Compartment boundaries are done by fixing galvanized iron (GI)plates usually fixed on trees along the boundaries. Constitution and Declaration ofreserved forest (RF): The State Government is empowered to propose any land whichis the property of the Government as reserved forest as per Section 4 of the KarnatakaForest Act, 1963. The lands which are notified under Section 4 of the Karnataka ForestAct, 1963 are surveyed as well as mapped by the Working Plan wing and are declaredas reserved forest after following due procedure as prescribed in Sections 5 to 18 ofthe Karnataka Forest Act, 1963. The Working Plan wing is responsible for updatingforest records in 28 formats and in 7 categories. It is the custodian of all forest maps ofthe state. Subjects related to Deemed forest, Forest Settlement, etc. are handled inthe Working Plan wing.

12. FOREST RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

1. Supply of Sandalwood-Sandalwood is a valuable produce of the forest. During recent years, theproductionof sandalwood has decreased, and the Govt., has initiated variousprogrammes to plant more sandalwood trees under various afforestationprogrammes. The Government sandalwood depots at Mysore, Shimoga andDharwad are supplying Sandal wood subject to availability to public for their bonafideuse, KSHSDC for further distribution to the artisans and KSDL. The retail salerates are fixed by Govt. once in a year based on the average rates obtained in lasttwo auction sale for further distribution to artisans.

Before amendment to Karnataka Forest Act 1963 and Rules 1969 in 2002, thesandal grown in private land was disposed through the department only.
