Based on overlaying of the thematic maps of agriculture, soil erosion / type, physiography, geology and human settlements of the area.

Land Management Plan

Agriculture Management PlanZone I

- Tawa command Area Excellent Ground Water Productive Alluvial Soil Plain land with scattered scrubs along nala & minor rivers Whole Double Cropped Area Vegetables and Cash crops around the urban centers Several nurseries and Agriculture farms

Recommendations

Promotion of high variety of crops, vegetables / cash cropsPromotion of high yielding varieties of horticultural crops (Guava and Papaya) and nurseries Promotion fuel-wood plantation and pastureland in scrub landPromotion of organic fertilizersPromotion of Non-Conventional Energy

Zone II A Agriculture land of Northern parts of BR area Alluvial soil Excellent GW condition Good irrigation facilities,Tawa canal commandPatches of scrubs land having severe soil erosion

RecommendationsPromotion of Double cropping system due to alluvial soil and agriculture facilities. Promotion of high yielding & improved varieties of cropsPromotion of Soil Conservation measuresPromotion of Non-Conventional Energy

B. Agriculture land around Chawalpani-Double cropped area -Irrigated by surface water. -Low GW Potential and-Severe soil erosion

Recommendations

Water harvesting and soil conservation measures Promotion of high yielding and improved varieties of crops as Jwar, Maize, Tur, Ramtil, Promotion of Non-Conventional Energy

C. Agriculture land around Matkuli- -Moderate to good ground water condition -Double cropped area

Recommendations

Promotion of vegetable / horticulture crops to meet the requirement of Pachmarhi area Promotion of soil conservation and ground water recharge structure

D. Agriculture land surrounding Tamia and Jamai

*Scattered patches of agriculture land*Poor groundwater condition, some place moderate to good *Mainly surface water irrigation.

Recommendations*Promotion of surface water storage and ground water recharge structures*Promotion of improved variety of traditional crops*Promotion of Mahua, Harra & Bahera plantation along bund lines of Agriculture lands

Zone III Traditional / single cropped area Poor to moderate ground water condition Loamy-skeletal to loamy soil typeMainly in Tamia and Jamai block of Chhindwara RecommendationsPromotion of improved varieties of traditional crops like Maize, Jwar, Ramtil, Sava , Kodo, Kutki etc.Promotion of mixed cropping practice Promotion of Surface water storage structure catchment area treatment, micro-irrigation practices

Zone IV Total Forest Area Zone V Severe soil erosionMaximum 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 erosionLandslides affect area.

RecommendationsHigh degree of soil conservation structuresProper drainage structure

Water Management Plan

WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Zone I Alluvial PlainExcellent Groundwater PotentialIncrease in ground water table and water logging problems specially along canalsPromotion of tube well, ring cum bore well Zone ll Moderate to good ground water conditionPromotion for Conjunctive use of ground & surface waterPromotion of water harvesting techniques like check dam, nala

Zone III Agricultural land Very poor groundwater conditionPromotion of Surface water storage structures like check dam and nala boundingConstruction of Minor Irrigation tank, ponds etc

Zone IVForest area outside of protected areaGround water condition very poorGround 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 AreaGround water condition very poorGround water exploration and surface water structure required for uses of Villagers

Zone VIHeavy steep slopes AreaVery 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 ForestryPromotion 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 AreaHigh concentration of Villages Promotion of Joint Forest Management activities Plantation of fuel wood speciesEradication of weedsPasture land Development

Type IIIOpen forest in Hoshangabad rangeImprovement of the density of forest by suitable silviculture planting Type IVClosed forest Area with good densityMostly Reserve Forest and Protected Forest AreasNational 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

Management Plan for Fire Prone area

Creation of Forest Protection Committee and Joint Forest Management (JFM) activities to reduce the fire incidence in the entire forest area and its surrounding

Wildlife Management Plan

Wildlife Management PlanZone I (High)High concentration and variations of wild animals. Major part coming under NP and Bori Sanctuary

Improvement of water facility in wildlife for regular checks to trapping and poisoning of animals is required.Zone II (Medium)Remaining parts of Satpura Tiger Reserve AreaImprovement of water facilityRegular checks to trapping and poisoning of animals Reduction of grazing pressure

Zone III (Low)Entire forest area of Chhindwara division Few patches of Hoshangabad & Betul districtsImprovement of water facilityPrevention of communicable diseases amongst animalsReduction of grazing pressureEncouraging farm farming & woodlot farming in villagesManipulation of habitant to create forest based prey base for PanthersPromotion of Wildlife favoring fruit trees/ shrubs in other forest areas Zone IV (Very Poor)Entire agriculture land surrounding Park and Sanctuaries

TOURISM MANAGENT PLAN
