TO BE ANSWERED ON 07.02.2020

## Green Credit Scheme

Will  the  Minister  of  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND  CLIMATE  CHANGE  be  pleased  to state:

- (a) whether it is a fact that under the Forest Conservation Act, 1980, every time forest land is diverted  for  non-forest  purposes  such  as  mining  or  industry,  the  project  developer  is supposed to identify non-forest land of an equal area and also pay for plantation or forests in the land or in its absence, on twice the area of degraded forest land;

- (d) if so, the details thereof; and
- (e) the salient features of the 'Green Credit Scheme'?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI BABUL SUPRIYO )

- (a) & (b) As per the provisions of Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980, Government of India accords prior  approval  for  use  of  forest  land  for  non-forestry  purpose.  Such  approvals  are accorded subject  to  recommendation of the concerned State/UT  Government and for unavoidable  developmental  projects/purposes.  While  according  such  approval,  it  is ensured  that  such  minimum  forest  area  is  allowed  for  non-forestry  purpose  which  is inevitable.

Whenever such approval is accorded, the user agency, inter alia, has to provide non-forest land equal to the forest area approved for non-forest use and has to also bear the  cost  of  raising  compensatory  afforestation  over  such  area.  However,  in  certain cases, for example, such as where the user agency is Central Public Sector Enterprise (CPSE),  it  has  to  bear  the  cost  of  raising  compensatory  afforestation  (CA)  over degraded forest area equal to double the forest area approved for non-forest use for a Government of India project.Such a provision has been made to compensate the loss of forest area due to developmental projects.

- (c) to (e) The Forest Advisory Committee (FAC), a statutory body under the provisions of Forest (Conservation)  Act,  1980,in  its  meeting  held  on  19.12.2019  has  recommended  to Government for considering plantations already  raised  on  non-forest  lands  in  lieu  of stipulated compensatory afforestation (CA) subject to certain conditions.
