Revitalization of Rivers In India
Draft Policy Recommendation
5.3 CREATING THE NURSERY INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE REQUIRED
NUMBER OF SEEDLINGS
Under forestry plantation, the total number of quality plant material required
per stretch of 1000 kilometres of river is 8 crores. To produce the required QPM,
400 acres of land will be required. The capacity of nurseries in the state is to be
strengthened. It is important to develop sufficient infrastructure to produce QPM
by organic methods. This will be a critical element for successful implementation
of the project. Unlike the horticulture nursery which requires a three year period
given sapling grafting, the seedlings can be deployed in a year’s time.
