In the Annual Plan of Operation submitted to
Govt. of India for 2006-07, Rs. 21.75 lakh was
proposed for habitat improvement, water and soil
conservation measures and survey and
demarcation of boundary but hardly 5 lakh could
be sanctioned. Similarly in 2005-06. 4 lakh was
sanctioned for habitat improvement and survey
and demarcation but only 1.88 lakh was
sanctioned for control burning of grasses and
weeds and Rs. 2 lakh for soil conservation works.
No budget is provided by State Govt. for these
works. Habitat improvement consisted of
grassland development, uprooting of lantana
weeds and soil conservation measures like
construction of check dams etc. With the
available budget no systematic planning is
possible. Monitoring is being done at the
DFO/ACF level and also at higher levels.
