- (b) the details of validation protocol adopted by the Forest Survey of India for analysing geo-spatial  polygons  including  parameters  used  to  verify  location  accuracy,  area conformity and year-wise tagging;
- (c) whether geo-spatial scrutiny has led to revision, rejection or rectification of plantation entries;
- (d) if so, the details thereof including the extent of corrections carried out; and
- (e) the manner in which the portal has improved fund tracking, survivability monitoring and outcome-based assessment of afforestation works?

## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF  STATE  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST  AND CLIMATE CHANGE (SHRI KIRTI VARDHAN SINGH)

- (a) and  (b) The State-wise details of total number and area of plantation sites identified for compensatory afforestation uploaded on the e-Green Watch portal under Compensatory  Afforestation  Fund  Management  and  Planning  Authority (CAMPA)  during  the  last  three  years,  from  2023-2025  are  given  in Annexure-I.

The geo-spatial polygons of the plantation sites identified for compensatory afforestation are uploaded in the e-Green Watch portal by the respective State Governments and UT Administrations.  The  monitoring of  plantation  sites uploaded on the e-Green Watch portal is carried out by the Forest Survey of India  using  geospatial  analysis  of  high-resolution  satellite  imagery.  The process  includes  verification  of  polygon  location,  boundary  alignment, conformity of the area etc by the Forest Survey of India as per the details provided by the State Forest Departments.

- (c) to (e) During the monitoring process, remarks are provided by the Forest Survey of India against each polygon indicating discrepancies or observations noticed during geospatial analysis. These remarks are visible to the respective State Forest Departments on the portal. Based on these remarks, the States rectify the  identified  issues  and  update  the  data  on  the  portal.  Polygons  earlier marked as incorrect or pending are periodically revisited by Forest Survey of India. Subsequently, the State Forest Departments rectify the errors and reupload  the  corrected  polygons.  The  e-Green  Watch  portal  is  dynamic  in nature  with  continuous  uploading  and  updating  of  plantation  polygons  by State Forest Departments.

The e-Green Watch portal is a web-based and user-friendly application that enables  the  detection  of  changes  in  the  plantation  sites  taken  up  for compensatory  afforestation  over  different  time  periods  which  enables effective  tracking,  monitoring  and  evaluation  of  the  afforestation  works undertaken under State CAMPA.
