Environmental Clearanceto Sita Rama  Lift  Irrigation  project  (Phase-1)  has  been  accorded  by  the  Ministry  on  7 th January, 2019.

All the proposals for approval of use of forest land (including construction of roads,  mining,  hydro-electric  projects,  power  and  irrigation)  are  processed  as  per  the

- provision  of  the  Forest  (Conservation)  Act,  1980,  Rules,  and  Guidelines  framed thereunder.  At present, as per available records, there are 97 proposals at various stages of  approval  under  Forest  (Conservation)  Act,  1980.  The  project  proposal  in  name  of Sita  Rama Lift irrigation  Project  of  Telangana  has  been  accorded  approval  under  the provision  of  Forest  (Conservation)  Act,  1980  on  31.01.2019.  State  wise  details  of projects under consideration for environmental clearance, Stage I (In-Principle) l forest clearance approval and Stage II/ Final approval are at Annexure 1 and 2.
- (c)  As  per  the  available  information  on  PARIVESH,  this  Ministry  has  granted environmental  clearance  and  forest  clearance  to  1757  Category  A  projects  and  3830 projects, respectively. State-wise details are at Annexure 3 and 4.
- (d)  to  (f)  Ministry  has  launched  a  single  window  hub  PARIVESH  on 10 th August, 2018   for online submission, monitoring and management of environmental clearances, which is a Single-Window Integrated Environmental Management System, developed in  pursuance  of  the  spirit  of  'Digital  India'  and  capturing  the  essence  of  "minimum government  and  maximum  governance".   A work-flow  based  application  has  been rolled out for online submission, monitoring and management of proposals submitted by Project Proponents to the (MoEF&CC), as well as to the State Level Environmental Impact  Assessment  Authorities  (SEIAA)  to  seek  various  types  of  clearances  (e.g. Environment, Forest, Wildlife and Coastal Regulation Zone Clearances) from Central, State  and  district-level  authorities.  It  automates  the  entire  process  of  submitting  the application  and  tracking  the  status  of  such  proposals  at  each  stage  of  the  processing, thus reducing the time lines and increasing transparency and accountability.
