Krushi Aranya Prothsaha Yojane
(KAPY) is a special programme
launched by the Government of Karnataka1.
In this programme, the Forest Department
raises quality seedlings in
forest nurseries and distributes seedlings
to the farmers, public and NGOs at subsidized
rates, and also pays incentives to
the farmers to encourage them to grow
native tree species on their farmlands.
Incentives of Rs 10, 15 and 20 have been
paid for each seedling that survived after
the first, second and third year respectively.
Evaluation of the seedlings would
be done by the forest officers1. In 2017,
the incentive amount was increased to Rs
30, 30 and 40 for the first, second and
third year respectively, for each surviving
seedling at the end of each growing
period2.
As the Government of Karnataka decided
to implement this programme in all
villages of the state, Department of
Forest required large-scale manpower to
work at various levels. Thus, Village Forest
Committees formed under the Karnataka
Sustainable Forest Management and
Bio-diversity Conservation, and National
Afforestation Programme–Forest Development
Agency, forest promoters and
volunteers working in association with
these schemes, NGOs and Federation of
NGOs have been involved for creating
awareness, registration, pitting, transportation
of seedlings, planting, guidance
for after care, protection and reporting
the survivability per cent to the concerned
Range Forest Office3. Accordingly,
the state Government has also
fixed payment to the participating NGOs,
agencies or voluntaries Rs 2 per seedling
for creating awareness, registration of
farmers, digging of pits, transportation
and ensuring planting at the right time in
the first year. In the second, third and
fourth years, Rs 1 per surviving seedling
has been paid as service charge for providing
guidance to the farmers regarding
aftercare and protection, counting of surviving
seedlings, preparation and submission
of estimation to the Range
Forest Officer about the incentives to be
distributed to the beneficiary farmers and
its disbursement.
