FOREWORD

The A.P.State CAMPA scheme was introduced in the State in the year 2009-10

to promote afforestation and regeneration activities as a way of compensating

for forest land diverted for non-forest purposes and to improve the forest cover

in the State of A.P., besides strengthening the frontline field forest staff for

protecting the forests.

The Annual Report of the Andhra Pradesh State CAMPA for the Financial year

2009-10 has two parts. The first part describes the mandates of A.P.State CAMPA,

its composition and organizational structure of the Department. The second part

illustrates the APO of 2009-2010 and activities taken up by the Department under

CAMPA, thus representing the present picture of the status of implementation of

AP State CAMPA during the time period in question.

Since the CAMPA scheme was approved in July 2009, and GOI has released the

funds in January 2010, a lot of effort went towards obtaining permission from

the Government for opening separate savings account in the bank to deposit

the fund, in evolving guidelines, accounting procedure and in putting in place

a monitoring mechanism for implementation of the scheme. Due to these

procedural delays, though the APO 2009-10 was approved for Rs.87.29 crore,

only Rs. 10.86 crore was spent.

I am sure in the years to come the CAMPA scheme will be an important funding

mechanism to improve the forest cover of AP. I wish all officers involved in

implementation of the scheme all the success

Part I �

BAckgROUND

With a cover of 23% of Geographical area of the country, forests in India comprise of a number of diverse forest types and reserved areas designated as National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries. In India, forests meet the livelihood needs of people living in and adjoining the forests in about 1,73,000 villages. Forests also act as carbon sinks and regulators of water regime.

Many development and industrial projects such as erection of dams, mining, construction of industries or roads require diversion of forest land. Any project proponent, government or private must apply for forest clearance to the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), before this conversion of land can take place.

This proposal for conversion of forest land is to be submitted via the Forest Department of the State government in question, and is heard by a Forest Advisory Committee, which then grants, or rejects, the clearance that is sought. If clearances are given, then compensation for the lost forest land is also to be decided by the ministry and the regulators. These amounts received towards Compensatory Afforestation (CA) , Net Present Value(NPV), etc., are being

deposited with Government of India and Compensatory afforestation programmes being implemented in various states with each state having its own prescribed activities.

Due to certain discrepancies in the implementation of Compensatory afforestation, some NGOs had approached the Hon’ble Supreme Court for relief. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in I.A. No.2143 in W.P.( C ) No.202/95 on 10th July 2009 (Annexure-I) issued orders that there will be a Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) with a National Advisory Council under the chairmanship of the Union Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) for monitoring, technical assistance and evaluation of compensatory afforestation activities in the country.

Objectives of cAMPA

Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority (CAMPA) is meant to promote afforestation and regeneration activities as a way of compensating for forest land diverted to non-forest uses.

A National CAMPA Advisory Council has been established as per the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court with the following mandate:

Regularly monitor and evaluate, in consultation with States, projects being undertaken by State CAMPAs.

Upon hearing counsel the court made the following

ORDER

I.A. No. 2143 in W.P. (c) No. 202/19951. Pursuant to a series of Orders passed by this Court for Afforestation purpose, various agencies had

deposited amounts by way of Net Present Value (NPV) when the forest area were utilized for non-forest purposes. This amount is lying with the ad-hoc CAMPA. The MoEF, the amicus curiae and the CEC have discussed the matter and they have come up with a scheme as to how to utilize the depositedamountforthepurposeofAfforestation.TheCEChasfiledaReportframingaschemeandthe same has been placed before this Court for consideration. We have examined the scheme and accepted the following recommendations:

Annexure I Part III70

A) TheguidelinesandthestructureoftheStateCAMPAaspreparedbytheMoEFmaybenotified/implemented.AllpreviousorderspassedbythisCourtregardingthiswouldstandmodifiedtotheextent necessary for implementation of the present proposal.

B) Substantial amount of funds have been received by the Ad-hoc CAMPA and sudden release and utilization of this large sum all at one time may not be appropriate and may lead to its improper use without any effective control on expenditure. This Court considers it appropriate to permit the Ad-hoc CAMPA to release, for the time being, the sum of about Rs.1000 crore per year, for the next 5 years, in proportion of 10% of the principal amount pertaining to the respective State/UT as per the conditions given below:

guidelines on State compensatory Afforestation Fund Management andPlanning Authority (State cAMPA)

Introduction

Guidelines for establishing CAMPAs in the States/UTs and putting in place a funding mechanism for enhancing forest and tree cover and conservation and management of wildlife by utilising funds received towards Compensatory Afforestation, Net Present Value (NPV), etc., currently available with the Adhoc CAMPA.

The guidelines, prepared are, by and large, in line with the discussions held in the meeting of the Chief Secretaries, have the objective to assist the States/UT’s for setting up the requisite mechanism and are in consonance with the directions issued from time to time by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

Theseguidelineshavedesiredflexibility;thereforetheStates/UTswouldbeabletonotifytheStatelevelCAMPAskeepinginviewspecificconditionsprevailingthere.

Overarching Objectives and core Principles

1. An Authority to be known as the “State Compensatory Afforestation Fund Management and Planning Authority” (State CAMPA) is intended as an instrument to accelerate activities for preservation of natural forests, management of wildlife, infrastructure development in the sector and other allied works.

2. The State CAMPA would presently receive monies collected from user agencies towards compensatory afforestation, additional compensatory afforestation, penal compensatory afforestation, Net Present Value (NPV) and all other amounts recovered from such agencies under the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 and presently lying with the Adhoc CAMPA.

3. The State CAMPA would administer the amount received from the Adhoc CAMPA and utilize the monies collected for undertaking compensatory afforestation, assisted natural regeneration, conservation and protection of forests, infrastructure development, wildlife conservation and protection and other related activities and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto.

4. State CAMPA would serve as a common repository of funds accruing on account of compensatory afforestation and NPV. It would deploy funds as per guidelines governing the use of funds for conservation, protection and management of forests. The amounts would also be deployed for wildlife preservation and enhancement of wildlife habitats.

5. State CAMPA would provide an integrated framework for utilizing multiple sources of funding and activities relating to protection and management of forests and wildlife. Its prime task would be regenerating natural forests and building up the institution engaged in this work in the State ForestDepartmentincludingtrainingoftheforestofficialsofvariouslevelswithanemphasisontraining of the staff at cutting edge level (forest range level). The amount received by it will alsobeutilizedforprovidingresidentialaccommodationtothefieldstaffandnecessarymachinesand equipments to them. These include appropriate arrangement for their conveyance during inspections and protection duty. In short, the department would be modernized to protect and regenerate the forests and wildlife habitat.

6. The State CAMPA may decide to utilize a minor part of its funds for contractual engagement of personnel wherever there is shortage of personnel. This should be done cautiously to avoid recurringrevenueexpenditureontheStateGovernment. It may also take up State-specificactivity relevant to the State, in keeping with the core objectives.

7. The State CAMPA would also promote a voluntary movement of youth and students for supporting conservation activities initiated/ongoing in the State Forest Department.
