*****
Sir,
Kindly refer to the subject and references cited above. I am directed to inform you that the
draft management plan for captive plantations of Hindustan Newsprint Limited for the period 2005-
06 to 2009-10 furnished by State Government has been examined by this office and the State Govt.
was requested by this office that a reconciliation of the area may be done and the statement indicat-
ing the actual extent and location of the leased area, status of land leased to
M/s. Hindustan Newsprint Limited may be furnished to this office. The CCF(P) vide letter at Sl.No. 3
above has furnished a statement showing reconciliation of area. The statement furnished by Chief
Conservator of Forests (P) above has been examined by this office and found to be adequate.
The Management Plan has been examined along with the area reconciliation details fur-
nished by Chief Conservator of Forests (P), with reference to the provisions of the F(C) Act, 1980 and
National Forest Policy, 1988. After careful consideration, I am directed to convey in-principle ap-
proval of Central Government to the Management plan of M/s. Hindustan Newsprint Limited for the
period 2005-06 to 2009-10 subject to the following conditions:
i) The modified copy of the management plan incorporating the reconciliation of area figures as furnished by Chief Conservator of Forests (Planning) vide letter as Sl. No. 3 above, shall be furnished to this office within a period of one month. The actual implementation of the pre-scriptions of management plan shall be undertaken only after the modified plan is forwarded to this office.
ii) No clear felling should be carried out in hilly areas having slope more than 30 degrees.
112
iii) The controlled burning of debris in plantations felled for regeneration will not be undertak-en.
iv) Fodder/fruit trees which attract birds and animals should be retained and nurtured. v) The felling of trees in areas having slope more than 30 degree and along the bank of riv-
er/streams shall not be undertaken. vi) The felling of standing trees other than eucalyptus shall not be undertaken in pursuance of
the directions of the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide order dated 05.03.1998 in W.P. No.314/1995.
vii) No permanent building, road, bridges etc. should be constructed on the forest land. Howev-er, temporary operational facilities like nurseries, protection sheds, kutcha approach roads for plantation/extraction path can be prepared as per the standard practices without resort-ing to felling of trees. The temporary structures when not needed may be removed / demol-ished and the area should be reverted to its normal condition.
viii) It may be ensured that non non-forestry activity is permitted/allowed in forest area in viola-tion of the provisions of Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
ix) The plantation areas harvested in a year shall be regenerated next year as per the prescrip-tions. However, if there is a shortfall in area regenerated in a year vis-à-vis the area harvest-ed in previous year then report to that effect shall be made to this office and further clear-ance of plantation shall not be undertaken unless specifically permitted by this office.

G.O. (Ms) No. 42/93/F&WLD Dated, Thiruvananthapuram, 11-6-1993.

Read:- Letter No. G3-21796/89 dated 5/11/1992 from the Chief Conservator of Forests.
O R D E R There are a few major Wood-based industrial units in Kerala, which have been receiv-ing substantial supplies of eucalyptus wood from the existing eucalyptus plantations of the Forest Department of the State. It has however been found from experiences that the an-nual eucalyptus crops harvested from the plantations of the Forest Department are not ade-quate to meet the actual requirements of the industries. The question as to how this prob-lem of short supply of raw-material can be solved has been engaging the attention of the government for some time. It has been suggested that the above problem can be solved to a considerable extent if the industrial units which utilize the eucalyptus as raw-material are themselves permitted to cultivate it on their own in the most scientific and efficient manner with the objective of achieving maximum productivity, to freely harvest their own product and to use it for their own purpose. M/s. Hindustan Newsprint Limited, Vellur, Kottayam district is a public sector indus-trial unit belonging to the Government of India which is utilising about 1.5 lakhs tonnes of eucalyptus annually as raw-material for producing newsprint. They have come forward with a proposal to cultivate eucalyptus on their own in the forest land of Kerala for being used as raw-material in their factory. The Chief Conservator of Forests has also recommended this proposal. After having examined the matter in all its aspects, the Government are [leased to order as follows:
(i) An area of 5600 ha of existing plantation of Eucalyptus Grandis belonging to the Forest Department will be made available to M/s. Hindustan Newsprint
115
Ltd., Vellur, for the present for the purpose of their own captive plantation to meet the raw-material requirement of their existing plant.
(ii) If M/s. Hindustan Newsprint Ltd. Vellur take over Punalur Paper Mill, which is now closest, and make it operational, the following additional areas will also be made available to them in future for captive plantation.
(a) An area of 4400 ha of existing eucalyptus plantation of the Forest De-
partment for the raw-material requirement of the major expansion project of Ms/ H.N.L. which is now under active consideration.
(b) An area of 1000 ha of existing eucalyptus plantation of the Forest De-
partment for the raw-material requirement of Punalur Paper Mill. (iii) The Forest area (ie. Existing eucalyptus plantation) which is made available to
M/s. HNL for captive plantation as mentioned above will continue to be Re-serve Forest belonging to the State; its control protection and administration will remain with the State’s Forest Department; and the role of M/s. HNL will be confined to the cultivation and harvesting of the eucalyptus crop subject to the guidance and supervision of the Chief Conservator of Forests.
(iv) The price of the existing eucalyptus trees standing in the area, which is allot-ted to them, will be collected from M/s. HNL at the time of making the area available to the Company-for which the Chief Conservator of Forests will (in consultation with the Chief Executive of M/s. HNL) estimate the value of the standing trees and get it approved by the Government.
(v) As and when the eucalyptus planted by M/s. HNL is harvested in future, they will pay a royalty of Rs. 150/- (rupees. One hundred and fifty only) to the For-est Department of the State for every metric tonne of eucalyptus wood at 50% moisture content.
(vi) The above arrangement will be valid for a period of twelve years from 1993-94 to 2005-2006 and will be reviewed thereafter.
(vii) The Chief Conservator of Forests will take immediate action to take immedi-ate action to identify the area of 5600 ha of existing Eucalyptus Grandis Plan-tation to be made available to m/s. HNL and make the area available to the Company for cultivation as early as possible.
