Statement refer to in reply to part (a) to (e) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 67 due for reply on 07.02.2022 regarding 'India State of Forest Report, 2021' by Shrimati Sangeeta Kumari   Singh Deo and Dr. Jayanta Kumar Roy.

- (a) Forest Survey of India (FSI), Dehradun, an organization under the Ministry carries out the assessment of forest cover of the country biennially since 1987 and the findings are published in India State of Forest Report (ISFR). The forest cover assessment is a wallto-wall  mapping  exercise  based  on  remote  sensing  supported  by  intensive  ground verification and field data from National Forest Inventory. The ISFR-2021 has recently been  released  by  the  Ministry  on  13 th January,  2022.  As  per  ISFR  2021,  there  is  an overall  increase  of  1540  square  kilometre  of  forest  cover  at  the  national  level  as compared  to  the  previous  assessment  i.e.  ISFR  2019.  The  details  of  State  and  Union Territory wise  forest cover are given at Annexure I.
- (b) & (c)  India is committed to create an additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover by 2030 as per Nationally Determined Contribution  (NDC)  under  Paris  Agreement.  India  is  on  track  to  meet  Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) targets under Paris Agreement. The Forest Survey of India estimates carbon stock of forest by using National Forest Inventory data collected during forest  inventory  and  forest  cover  area  following  the  guidelines  given  by  United Nation  Framework  Convention  on  Climate  Change  (UNFCCC).  The  carbon  stock  for 2021 has been estimated to be 7204 million tones. There is an increase of 79.4 million tonnes of carbon stock as compared to the last assessment of 2019. The annual increase is 39.7  million  tonnes,  which  is  145.6  million  tonnes  CO2  equivalent.  India  has  already achieved 1.97 billion tonnes of additional carbon sink as compared to the base year of 2005.

The remaining target can be achieved by increasing forest and tree cover of the country through  implementation  of  various  Central  and  State  sponsored  schemes.  The  Central Government  schemes  are  mainly  comprised  of  Green  India  Mission  (GIM),  National Afforestation Programme (NAP), Compensatory Afforestation Funds under Compensatory  Afforestation  Fund  Management  and  Planning  Authority ( CAMPA), afforestation  activities  under  Mahatma  Gandhi  National  Rural  Employment  Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGA), Green Highway Policy 2015, Policy for enhancement of Urban Greens,  National  Agro-forestry  Policy  and  Sub-mission  on  Agro-forestry  (SMAF), National Bamboo Mission and National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture. In addition to  above,  State  and  UT  Governments  have  their  own  afforestation  and  reforestation programmes.  Almost  every  State  has  activities  under  social  forestry,  which  largely focuses on tree planting in the areas outside forests.

The  State  /UT-wise  details  of  fund  released  under  National  Afforestation  Programme, Green India Mission and Compensatory Afforestation Funds for the last three years are given in Annexure -II, III and IV.

- (d) 'Increasing substantially the forest/tree cover in the country through massive afforestation  and  social  forestry  programmes,  especially  on  all  denuded,  degraded  and unproductive lands' is one of the objective of the National Forest Policy, 1988. National Forest  Policy  further  provides  a  massive  need  based  and  time  bound  programme  of afforestation tree planting on all degraded and denuded lands in the country. Considering the  policy  prescription,  the  Ministry  of  Environment,  Forest  and  Climate  Change  has been implementing various centrally sponsored schemes on afforestation /plantation.

The  National  afforestation  programme  (NAP)  scheme  is  implemented  by  three  tier institutional  setup  through  the  State  Forest  Development  Agency  (SFDA)  at  the  state level, Forest Development Agency (FDA) at the forest division level and the Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMCs) at the village level, which are registered societies.

The multi-departmental efforts have  yielded  good results in conserving and developing forest cover as evident from the fact that the Forest cover as reported in the latest India State  of  Forest  Report  (ISFR)  2021  has  increased  by  12,294  square  kilometre  in  last seven years (ISFR-2015 to ISFR-2021) .

- (e)    As  per  ISFR  2021,  State/UT  wise  details  of  Recorded  Forest  Area  i.e.  reserve  forest, protected forest and unclassed forest are given at Annexure V.
