Promotion of Surface water storage structure
catchment area treatment, micro-irrigation practices
• Zone IV
Total Forest Area
• Zone V Severe soil erosion
Maximum part of BR area falls under this category.
Recommendations
Soil conservation measures / structures like contour binding, nala binding, gullied plucking, etc.
Zone VI Part of Patalkot area of Tamia block of Chhindwara
Very severe soil erosion
Landslides affect area.
Recommendations
High degree of soil conservation structures
Proper drainage structure
Wasteland Management in Agriculture Zone
Wasteland Management in Agriculture Zone • Management of Shifting Cultivation (Jhum Cultivation) • Sericulture• Fisheries• Development of Pasture land• Ex- situ Conservation of Medicinal / Economic Plants • Development of Meadows• Fuel wood Plantation• Soil conservation measures near Nalas and small Rivers

WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Zone I
Alluvial Plain
Excellent Groundwater Potential
Increase in ground water table and water logging problems specially along canals
Promotion of tube well, ring cum bore well
Zone ll Moderate to good ground water condition
Promotion for Conjunctive use of ground & surface water

Zone IVForest area outside of protected area
Ground water condition very poor
Ground water exploration in villages for drinking purpose
Promotion of surface water conservation structures like check dam, nala bunding
Zone V (Protected Area)-
Entire Satpura Tiger Reserve Area
Ground water condition very poor
Ground water exploration and surface water structure required for uses of Villagers
Zone VIHeavy steep slopes Area
Very poor ground water condition
Very high surface run off
High degree of surface run off water conservation structures required
Zone VII
Medium slopes and medium surface runoff
very poor groundwater condition
Promotion of Surface water storage and ground water recharge structures

FOREST MANAGEMENT PLAN
– To reduce dependence of villagers on the forests
– Promotion of Woodlot Forestry
– Promotion Social Forestry Activities
– Forest Farming.
– Creation of Minor Forest Produce (Non-timber
resources), fruit trees, medicinal plants, bark and
leaves that are common in villages.
– Creation of nurseries in villages and dissemination
of forest extension method through Gram Van
Samiti.
Forest Management Plan
Type I Forest blank around Anhoni and Chawalpani Area
High grazing pressure
High fuelwood requirement Area
Improvement of the cover status by planting under forest practices.
Type II Open, Degraded and Close forest ( small patches )
High grazing pressure & Fuel wood requirement Area
High concentration of Villages Promotion of Joint Forest Management activities
Plantation of fuel wood species
Eradication of weeds
Pasture land Development
Type III
Open forest in Hoshangabad range
Improvement of the density of forest by suitable silviculture planting
Type IVClosed forest Area with good density
Mostly Reserve Forest and Protected Forest Areas
National Park/ Sanctuary Areas already covered under forest management plan
Out side of the NP/ Sanctuary the activities are prescribed in land management
Protection and Conservation measures
Type V
Non-forest Area
Identification of the sites and detailed documentation of the habitat of the rare plant species like Drosera sp found in Patalkot area and other places Protection of upstream area harbouring high density of germplasm species Collection of botanical specimens from this area will totally inhibited.Fencing of entire area from cattle and human being were necessary has to be taken out.Collection of medicinal plants is totally banned from Park and Sanctuary.
Management Plan for Germ plasm area

Forest Management (JFM) activities to reduce the
fire incidence in the entire forest area and its
surrounding

4. Asirgarh Fort
Exploiting the full tourism potential
•Improving accessibility & connectivity of tourist places
•Bringing these places on State and National tourist map
•Improving accommodation facilities of tourist places
•Having / Organizing well planned package tours
•Opening Museums/ Interpretation Centre, highlight Natural sites/ local tribal culture and their artifacts
