Particulars of Organization, Functions & Duties

[Section-4 (1) (b) (I)]

1. Aim & Objectives of the Organization:

  The present mandate of the Odisha Forest Department is defined by the 1988 National Forest Policy. The basic objectives are the following:

a) Maintenance of environmental stability through preservation and where necessary, restoration of the ecological balances that has been adversely disturbed by serious depletion of the forests of the country.
b) Conserving the natural heritage of the country by preserving the remaining natural forests.
c) Increasing sustainability the forest/tree cover in the State through massive afforestation and social forestry programme.
d) Meeting the requirement of fuel wood, fodder, minor forest produce and small timber of the rural and tribal populations.
e) Creating a massive people's movement with the involvement of women.
f) Encouraging efficient utilization of forest produce and maximizing substitution of wood.
g) Checking soil erosion and denudation in the catchments areas of rivers, lakes, reservoirs for mi tigating floods and droughts.
h) Checking the extension of sand dunes in and along the coastal tracts.
  Thus, the principal aim of our State policy must be to ensure environmental stability and maintenance of ecological balance including atmosphere equilibrium which is vita! for sustenance of ail life forms, human, animal and plant. The derivation of direct economic benefit must be subordinated to this principal aim.

2. Mission / Vision :

  Odisha's forests are well stocked, diverse, multi-stories and dense. The forests are managed for sustained use providing a range of goods and services to a variety of stake holders at local and broader levels. Forests are home to flora and fauna, build soil, regulate water flows, and provide quality water as well as small wood, timber and NTFPs. They provide inputs to the agricultural economy, income to the impoverished and subsistence livelihood to ail. An enabled and responsive Forest Department and empowered local community institutions collaborate to protect forest areas from encroachment, poaching, illicit felling and fire. Flexible forest tenure allows a diversity of institutions and forest categories at different spatial and temporal scales. Categories reflect function. Protected areas protect representative habitats and species, Reserves are for environmental protection, subsistence use and commercial production. Forests are managed under a range of participatory options (Participatory Forest Management), for local use, sale of surplus and commercial use. All categories, however, respect local rights and provide strong incentives for local participation in protection, management and use. Diversion of forest for development projects invite disincentives and increase cost and local compensation after due process. Transparent operations and procedures reduce transaction costs for harvesting timber and non timber forest produce (NTFPs) and starting and operating enterprises, reduce externalities in terms of social and ecological inputs and maintain confidence in the integrity of forest management and operations.

3. History & Background of Its Establishment:

  The Forest Department in Odisha came into existence during pre-independence days as far as from 1883-84 when Odisha was a part of lower province of Bengal. A solitary division was there namely, Odisha Division amongst 10 Divisions comprising the whole of Bengal,Bihar & Odisha under the charge of one Conservator of Forests with headquarters at Darjeeling. Sometime in past, certain forest blocks of Angul were declared as Reserved Forests under. Section 19 of Indian Forest Act, 1882. The financial result of Odisha division during the year 1883-84 showed Rs.16,657 as revenue and Rs.25,495 as expenditure. Odisha Forest Division was bifurcated into two divisions - Angul and Puri in the year 1912. At that point of time, Odisha had three divisions, namely Angul, Puri and Sambalpur with a total forest area of 741 sq miles of Reserved Forests and 1069 sq miles of protected forests. The total revenue of the three divisions was Rs. 1,55,237 and the expenditure was Rs. 1,00,830. 

  The first April. 1936 witnessed the birth of a new Forest Department under the charge of a Conservator of Forests. The Madras Presidency, Central Provinces as well as old Bihar and Odisha contributed equally to areas of forests and the total area of reserved forests and demarcated forest stood at 1401 and 583 sq miles respectively with revenue and expenditure at Rs.4,28,300 and Rs.4,15,847 respectively.The Ganjam and Parlakhemundi were transferred from Madras Presidency to Odisha.

 

3. History & Background of Its Establishment:

  The systematic forest management started in Mayurbhanj as far back as 1897 whereas forest management appears to have begun in other estates in 1910. The Chief Forest Advisor of Eastern States was advising the states on Forest Administration except Mayurbhanj. 
  Revered Dr. M. Mooney, IFS, remained above 20 years to look after the demarcation and survey of forest areas when the merger took place.
  With merger of states on first January, 1948, reorganization of the department was found necessary and the Government sanctioned 22 territorial divisions with 2 non-territorial divisions, for example, Working Plan Divisions under the direct charge of the CCF. Besides these, three territorial Circles were also created.
  The staffing structure of the Forest Department in Odisha at the beginning post-independence era is given below :

Sl.	Name of posts	Sanctioned Strength Prior to 1.1.1948	Posts created after Merger of States on 1.1.1948	Sanctioned Strength as on 28.2.58
1	2	3	4	5
1	Chief Conservator of Forests, Odisha	-	1	1
2	Conservator of Forests	1	2	4
3	Class-I Forest Service	19	23	20 Class-I
4	Class-II Forest Service			34 Class- II
5	Forest Rangers	15	40	94
6	Deputy Rangers	26	43	108
7	Foresters	54	198	493
8	Forest Guards & Deputy Forest Guards	420 & 1070	-	2426

NB: In addition, the checking staff were those numbering about 256 in the category of Depot Mohurir, Check Naka Mudusir, Check Naka Guard, Spot Guard, Gate Gumasta, Gate keepers, Pent Training Gumasta, Maka Mohurir, Naka lasker and Naka Guard. (Source: Report on the Forestry Enquiry Committee, Odisha 1959)
  Present staff strength include for head office (o/o PCCF, Odisha) -9 circles, 37 forest and 13 wildlife divisions, 281 ranges. 1001 sections and 3674 forest beats.

4. Allocation of Business:

  Being aware of the National Forest Policy and provisions of Forest Conservation Act, 1980, the Forest Department is solely responsible to protect its rich biodiversity and natural heritage while permitting only unavoidable use of forest land for various developmental purposes. It is the firm commitment of the Department to balance the conservation of forests with the sustainable development need of the state contributing to better environment, health and economy. The department has also made efforts to consolidate the forest areas and regenerate the forest cover through people's participation as per different policies/schemes formulated by State/Central Govt. i.e. compensatory process, JFM process etc. The Forest Department is also an implementing agency of new projects under National Afforestation Programme during 10^th Plan Period i. e. the two-tier set up namely the Forest Development Agencies (FDAs) and Joint Forest Management Committee (JMFCs) called Vana Samrakshana Samities (VSS). In the participatory mode, the scheme implemented by the Department creates a decentralized institutional structure that allows greater participation of the community both in planning and implementation of the appropriate afforestation programmes.
  The commercial activity of the Forest Department has almost come to a grinding halt which has adversely affected its revenue earning system. Forest working as per the prescriptions of working plans has been started during 2005 after a gap of 13 years. The free access of local/tribal for collection of 68 Minor Forest Produce items has became an issue of eye opener for the support of local/tribal in preserving forest though substantial revenue has been overlooked by Government in interest of tribal.
  The primary task of the Department responsible for Sustainable Forest Management with conservation of biodiversity is to associate the local/tribal people closely in the protection, regeneration, and development of forests as well as to provide gainful employment/livelihood support to people living in and around the forests.

7. Details of Service Rendered :

Over the years, forests in the country have suffered serious depletion due to relentless pressures arising from ever-increasing demand for fuel-wood,fodder, timber and non timber products; inadequacy of protection measures; diversion of forest lands to non-forest uses without ensuring compensatory afforestation and essential environmental safeguards; and the tendency to look upon forests as revenue earning resources. Thus, forest conservation has become more and more challenging for the Forest Department. Hence forest conservation includes preservation, bio-diversity conservation, forest maintenance, sustainable utilization, forest restoration, forest up-gradation in term of density an enhancement of the natural resources for betterment of environment. Details of services rendered by the Forest Department may be summarized in the following manner.
a) With respect to essential of forest management
(i) Existing forests and forest lands have been fully protected and their productivity improved by the Department.

7. Details of Service Rendered :

ii) The network of national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves and other protected areas have been strengthened and extended adequately for conservation of total biological diversity
iii) The programme of afforestation have been intensified with special emphasis on augmenting production to meet the requirement of the rural people.
iv) Protection, improvement and production enhancement of minor forest produce have been taken into consideration to generate employment and income for tribal population and other communities residing in and around the forests.
b) As a national imperative, the Department gives special emphasis on
i) Fuel wood and fodder development on all degraded and denuded lands in the state in implementing massive need-based and time bound programme of afforestation and tree planting.
ii) Encouraging the planting of trees alongside or roads, railway lines, rivers and canals and on other unutilized lands under State/Corporate, institutional or private ownership.
(iii) Enhancing forest cover and productivity of the forests through the application of scientific and technical inputs.
c) The Department gives special importance on Rights and concessions, including grazing in relation to the carrying capacity of forests
(i) Development of Social Forestry outside the Reserved forests for meeting requirements of community, which cannot be met by the rights and concessions
(ii) The rights and concessions from forests which should primarily be for the bonafide use of the communities living within and around forest areas, specially the tribal.
(iii) Popularization of use of fuel-efficient Chullahs in rural areas as a measure of conservation of fuel wood.
d) Forest land or land with tree cover have not been treated merely as a resources readily available to be utilized for various projects and programmes, but as a national asset have been safeguarded by the Forest Department for providing sustained benefits to the entire community i.e. through regeneration/compensatory afforestation on process.
e) Having regarded to the symbiotic relationship between the tribal people and forests, as a primary task the department is associating the tribal people closely in the protection, regeneration and development of forests as well as providing gainful employment to people living in and around the forest.
f) Under new project during the 10^th plan period, the Forest Department through the two-tier approach (FDAs) and JMFCs is able to empower the local people to participate in the decision making process, apart from building capabilities at the grass-root level.

8. Citizens Interaction :

  For formulating objectives and strategies to achieve the overall aim, the need of decentralized activities through citizen's interactions is being emphasized by the Department.    The objectives of the Department under three major categories (ecological, production and rural development) aims at satisfying wholly or partly some of the basic needs of the forest dwellers/rural population like small timber, fodder, fuel wood, livelihood, gainful employment and income generation. Emphasis on self-employment activities related to forestry create vested interest among villagers for sustained utilization and management of common property resources. Developing unanimous benefit sharing mechanism and local decision making process through increased participation of landless, small an marginal farmers in the management of forestry resources help in sustainable forest management. This relation between villagers/community and the Department are governed by the Joint Forest Management process, the Village Forest Rules and other pertinent legal documents related to forest management and product utilization such as micro -plan, MOU, etc.  The people-centered approach in various afforestation programmes provides a firm and sustainable mechanism for devolution of funds to JMFCs i.e. Vana Samrakshana Samiti. As 'village' has been reckoned as a unit of planning and implementation, all activities (such as micro-planning etc.) under the schemes have been conceptualized at the village level. Thus, organic unity in this structural framework promotes efficiency, effectiveness, accountability through decentralization and devolution of authority and responsibilities both physical and financial. During the preparation of micro-plans, the community identifies the activities to be taken up for creation of community assets which are to be maintained by themselves.  To ensure this participation, the Forest Personnel at different levels (village level, Division level, Range level & State level) devote considerable time on training, motivation, extension activities. All the personnel from top to bottom are motivated and all activities undertaken are viewed in the light of participatory aspect. So planning, training, extension activities follow a fact finding and bottom-up approach. It means that the personnel during field visits identify the forestry problems as envisaged from the village point of view through dialogues with citizens/villagers. They identify demands, perceived use of the forest produce, the existing pattern of forest use, the preferred trees for planting etc. In this process, it is important that special emphasis is given to collect information, discuss and plan with all sections of the society including poor and women, who seldom are heard in an actual planning and implementing process.

8. Citizens Interaction :

  The fact that the activities undertaken are for the citizens/society which produce resource for use of society get support of the Department.  Participation is secured by ensuring that decisions are made by the citizens themselves and there is a contract between the Department and the local unit (village), obligations and rights are mutual and the relationship between all the stakeholders is being one of reciprocity and partnership. Through this approach, the Department gains the trust and confidence of the citizens. The governments of Odisha and the Govt. of India have also decided to institute the award called 'Prakruti Bandhu/Prakruti Mitra award' and Indira Priyadarshini Vrikshamitra award' to be given to persons and institutions in recognition of exceptional contributions in the field of afforestation, conservation of forests and development of wastelands.
