Inspector General of Forests AK Mohanty sent letter to all states, alleging discrepancies

About 70 per cent data on compensatory afforestation was “incorrect or incomplete”, according to a letter Inspector General of Forest, AK Mohanty. The letter, dated August 10, 2020, was sent to principal secretaries for forests of all states and Union territories.

The data in question was for work done under the Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act, 2016 and uploaded on the ministry’s e-Green portal.

The letter stated:

    It is being continuously observed that despite repeated requests from the Forest Survey of India (FSI), a significant percentage of data being uploaded, particularly the polygons, is either incorrect or incomplete. For example, only 30 per cent of the uploaded polygons have been found to be correct as of now.

The Compensatory Afforestation Fund Act aims to restore forest cover, lost due to diversion of forest land for non-forest purposes such as mining and industrial use, in the country.

Development and industrial projects such as erection of dams, mining and construction of industries or roads require diversion of forest land. Any project proponent — government or private — must apply for forest clearance from Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC) before the conversion of land can take place.
