Plantation Drive at NDRI : A Green Movement 36 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS From the Editor FORESTS : NATURE AT YOUR SERVICE Forest cover one third of the earth's land mass, performing vital functions and services around the world which make our planet alive with possibilities. Even today forests are home to 300 million people around the world at the livelihoods of over 1.6 billion people depend on forests. They release oxygen into the atmosphere while sucking carbon dioxide. They play a key role in our battle against global warming and climate change, which if left unchecked is set to cause biggest upset in the history of the earth and life on it. Splendid and inspiring, forests are the most biologically diverse ecosystems on land and are home to more than half of the terrestrial species of animals, plants and insects. They are the green lungs of the earth, vital to the survival of people everywhere -- all seven billion of us. Thanks to our history and culture and farsightedness of our and other world leaders that Stockholm Conference was held in 1971 in Swedish Capital Stockholm which gave birth to the celebration of World Environment Day on 5th of June every year. Equal credit has to be given to Rio-De-Janeiro Conference-1991 which mainly focussed on the conservation of bio-diversity and climate change. These two conferences have generated lot of awareness among the politicians, policy makers and common man. Better late than never, United Nations Environment and Development (UNED), FAO and similar organizations are also doing their best to save and enrich bio-diversity. Never before this has much awareness been generated about the forests. The recent estimate of the World Bank is that the 2 deforestation accounts for up to 20 percent of the global greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming. India is a mega-diverse country and about ten percent of world species are represented here. In spite of having about 16 percent of world population and about 17 percent of world cattle population, we have been able to strike a balance between development and conservation and have succeeded in protecting and conserving our bio-diversity wealth reasonably. Haryana is primarily an agrarian state and the tree cover is only around 7 percent. It looks that we are a forest de cient state. But it is also a fact that we are timber surplus state. This has been possible due to the overwhelming success of agroforestry in the state. We are supplying wood to many forest rich states in the country. The contributing factor to this success of agroforestry is freedom to the farmers to sell their agroforestry produce anywhere in the state and they do not to take permission of forest department to sell their agroforestry produce. This has encouraged farmers to take up agroforestry in a big way. The farmers of Haryana are today more prosperous than any other part of the country due to the success of agroforestry. Besides above, we have taken a number of steps to conserve and improve diversity of ora and fauna. We have world's rst Vulture Conservation Breeding Centre in the state where the breeding of endangered vulture species is being taken up successfully. And let us not forget the success of Sukhomaji project which led to the concept of Joint or Participatory Forest Management. Pankaj Goel, IFS April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS From the Patron LET US SAVE OUR WILDLIFE HERITAGE Wildlife conservation has deep roots in Indian culture. Our culture and traditions preach wildlife conservation and we take pride in our strong cultural heritage. We hold in reverence the sun, wind, land, trees, plants, and water which are the very base of human survival. Respect and conservation of wildlifegaruda, lion, peacock, and snake-are part of our culture since time immemorial and we are continuing with these traditions today as well. So deep is our respect for nature that before taking our meals, we offer some portion of it to animals like cow and dogs. We offer rice, our and sugar to ants. We offer feed to birds as a matter of mutual respect for life and to make them ourish. Such examples are seen only in Indian culture and traditions. Animals are revered in Indian culture. They are associated with our gods and goddesses. Elephant is associated with Lord Ganesha. Lion/Tiger is associated with Goddess Durga and Snake is associated with Lord Shiva. Our mythology, ancient art, literature, folklore, religion, the rock edicts and scriptures, all provide ample proof that wildlife enjoyed a privileged position in India's ancient past. Kautilya's Arthashastra reveals the attention focussed on wildlife in the Mauryan period: certain forests were declared protected and called "Abhayaranya" like the present day 'sanctuary'. Heavy penalties, including capital punishment, were prescribed for offenders who entrapped, killed or otherwise harmed elephants, deers, bisons, birds, or sh, amongst other animals. We need to conserve wildlife for its historical, ecological, educational, scienti c and aesthetic value. Seeing a magni cent animal in wild is both entertaining and educative. Besides recreation, one learns about the behaviour and the life of the animal. However, today we are in direct con ict with wildlife 3 mainly due to the destruction of their habitat. 75 percent of our wildlife resides outside our protected areas. However, due to pressure on land, intensive and extensive agriculture, settlement of habitations very close to the wildlife habitats, destruction of banies (village forests) etc. have created a condition whereby we have come in direct con ict with wildlife. Wildlife habitat is shrinking and becoming fragmented. We have disturbed the balance of nature. Crop damage, human injuries by wild animals have become common. There is an urgent need to strike a balance between wildlife conservation, protection and development. There is legal provision for conserving wild life in the form of national parks, wildlife sanc tuaries, conservation reserves and community reserves. We need to take people along in conserving wildlife heritage of the state and the country. Probably we have to learn from certain communities who protect wild life at the cost of their life and crops. We are putting best efforts to save wildlife in the state both in the protected areas and outside them especially endangered species like vultures, peacock and red jungle fowl. Department has pioneered in this venture and has established conservation breeding centers for them. The level of protection of wildlife in the state is very good. We are working in the direction of modernizing the wildlife wing and doing every possible improvement in the wildlife habitats for better living of its inmates. We are empowering communities especially women and encouraged them to protect and conserve wildlife inside and outside the protected areas and supporting them in their livelihoods. Wild life wealth is our common property. Let us follow the principles of "Ahinsa Parmo Dharma" & "Jiyo Aur Jeene Do" (Live & Let Live) taught to us by our ancestors. Let us save our unique wildlife heritage Dr. (Mrs.) Amarinder Kaur, IFS PCCF, Haryana April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS 66osa jkT; Lrjh; ou egksRlo dk vk;kstu fnukad 14 tqykbZ] 2015 dks NNjkSyh vukt e.Mh ftyk ;equkuxj esa jkT;

After having interaction with Dr.(Mrs.) Amarinder Kaur, IFS, I was eager to see those self help groups and the changes they brought in the lives of women in villages. However, due to my busy schedule in following months, I was not able to visit the villages. I have gone to three villages of Panipat District with DFO and Mr. Vipin Grover to see the actual ground reality on 14th October, 2015. The villages were Brahman Majra, Shimla Gujran and Chhajpur. I met the ladies in presence of an old man of village (he was signatory in the group functioning) and Sarpanch. I was astonished to see the con dence with which the group leaders and other women speak. They were working in different elds like Stitching clothes and bags, Embroidery, Cattle rearing, Live stocks and dairy, Vermi-compost, Beauty parlour and General store etc. It was further noticed that most of their products are consumed in the village itself. Their income from the group activity ranged from 3000 to 9000 per month. The thing which made me happy was that these groups have given the ladies a platform to gather together and share not only their happiness and sorrows but bene ts and success stories too. The documentation, though I initially thought is too much complicated, was proper and complete. Not only that the self help groups were instrumental in plantation in villages under Har Ghar Hariyali Scheme of Honourable Chief Minister, Haryana. I was happy to learn that the ladies are taken to other places to give them rst hand knowledge of other success stories. It was further heartening to know that they are taken to some fests or big trade fairs to sell their products. The ladies showed lots of interest in sweet box making as it can fetch more money to them. They were connected to the market by your department. I would like to mention one speci c observation of a lady Rajvati in Chhajpur who is successfully running a dairy and vermi-compost plant. She asked me how come that we sell the onion in Rs. 3 per Kg and later it is sold Rs. 60/- kg in market. Why don't you supply us with storage technique in our house so that we can keep and sell them ourselves? I was dumbstruck, to be honest. But she had forced me to think and request you to tie up with the concerned department and think on line of household storage of such articles which will have deep and positive impact on the lives of farmers. Overall though these SHGs are surviving on meagre amount in terms of money but they de nitely have a positive impact on the lives of rural women. One lady was repairing the electric motors after her husband's accident. In a village such activity which is considered manly is done by a SHG female was again laudable. I must congratulate you for taking personal pains and efforts in this venture. I would like to see some more SHGs in future. Congratulations once again for empowering women in our state. 17 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS efgyk,a l'kDr gqbZ a Oku foHkkx gfj;k.kk }kjk xfBr Lo;a lgk;rk lewgksa dh efgyk,a efgyk l'kfDrdj.k izdks"B ds fu;fer ekxZn'kZu ls u dsoy viuk vkfFkZd ,oa lkekftd fodkl dj jgh gSa cfYd Ik;kZoj.k ls lECkfU/kr fo"k;ksa ij Hkh tkx:d gks jgh gS]tkx:drk QSyk jgh gS vkSj Ik;kZoj.k laj{k.k dk chM+k Hkh mBk jgh gSaA Oku foHkkx ds rgr xfBr Lo;a lgk;rk lewgksa dh efgykvksa us dbZ vk;

The noti cations to this affect was issued by the Govt. on July 29, 2015 in its official gazette noti cations. The renowned personalities of the state who have either worked for Wildlife Conservation or have interest in Wildlife Welfare have been included in the board. It is expected that with the constitution of new board in the state, the Wildlife Conservation affects in the state will get a boost. 22 April - September, 2015 23 HARYANA FOREST NEWS April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS CHHILCHHILA - AN ENCHANTING WETLAND OF HARYANA (K.C. Meena, IFS, CF Wildlife, Panchkula) Wetlands are one of the major components of our eco-system and play an important role in maintaining the balance of nature. They not only serve as a feeding ground for water and waterside birds but also support and shelter variety of avi-fauna, amphibians, reptiles and aquatic vegetation. Haryana's wetlands are most suitable grounds for native as well as migratory birds and are serving an important cause in preserving and protecting the gift of nature for our future generations. Chhilchhila lake is one of such wetlands. Although small in area, yet it is support this a large number of migratory as well as local water and waterside birds throughout the year. The wetland is located near village Sarsa in Tehsil Pehowa, district Kurukshetra and situated between 76o36'o o o 76 46'E longitude and 29 52'-30 00' N latitude is spread over an area of 71.4 acres (571 kanals, 12 marlas). It is at a distance of about 24 Km. from the Kurukshetra city towards west. The background knowledge about the sanctuary was collected by interacting with senior citizens of nearby village Sarsa. The villagers believed that this lake area was dug out by the ve Pandav brothers of the Mahabharata fame and hold it sacred. It was revealed by the eye witnesses that in 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s, villagers used to gather in Melas (Fairs) in rainy season on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan, Hariali Teej, Vijaya Dashmi and used to swim in the lake; thus hinting about the healthy character of lake in old times. It also de nes, therefore, the cultural links of the lake. While interacting with a Sadhu in the temple located on the brims of this sanctuary, it was learnt that the Pandavas escaped through tunnel inside the lake, to Haridwar during their banvas thus linking the lake with religious overtones with its rich historical past. This sanctuary provides a good habitat for a wide variety of fauna. However, habitat destruction in the surrounding areas, intensive agriculture, urbanization, shortage of water etc. has adversely affected the wildlife. Earlier, Hog Deer was commonly found in the area. Antelopes are represented by the Nilgai or Blue Bull, which occurs in the more open areas and frequently raids agriculture crops. The Mongoose, Monitor Lizard, Snakes, Frog, Jungle Cat, Peacock, Monkeys. Jackal are commonly found in the area. Fifty seven species of wetland birds belonging to 37 genera and 16 families were recorded from the Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary from April 2009 to March 2012. (Parvesh Kumar and S.K. Gupta, 2013). Family Anatidae represented by 13 species, dominated the wetland bird community in the area. It accounted for 22.81% of the total number of wetland bird species of the Sanctuary. Among the recorded species, 33(58%) were winter migrants, 2(3%) summer migrants and 22(39%) were resident species. The status of some bird species like Spotbilled Duck, Common Moorhen, Great Cormorant, Grey Heron, Large Egret and Median Egret observed in Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary was different from their Haryana State status (Tak et al. 2010). The summer visitors, namely Cotton Teal, Nettapus coromandelianus and Lesser Whistling Duck, Dendrocygna javanica were spotted during summer seasons from April to August. The winter migratory birds displayed a de nite pattern speci c to species for arrival at and departure from the wetland. They appeared at the wetland from mid October and stayed upto April. The peak of winter population of migratory birds was observed during the months of January and February. The present study revealed that Northern Shoveller Anas clypeata, Northern Pintail Anas acuta, Common Teal, Anas crecca, Common Pochard, Aythya ferina, Common Coot, Fulica atra and Gadwall, Aythya ferina arrived in October; Spot-billed Duck Anas poecilorhyncha, Mallard, Anas platyrhynchos and Comb Duck Sarkidiornis melanotos arrived in November. As far as the departure time was concerned, Mallard generally departed in February. Birds like Spot-billed Duck, Common Pochard, Eurasian Wigeon, Anas Penelope, Tufted 24 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS Pochard Aythya fuligula and Red-crested Pochard Rhodonessa ru na departed in March. Common Coot, Northern Shoveller, Northern Pintail, Common Teal and Gadwall departed as late as April. Based on the frequency of sightings, two species were rare, 13 uncommon, 21 fairly common and 21 common. The basic requirements of migratory birds at their wintering ground are adequate food supply and safety (Lakshmi 2006), which are ful lled by this wetland as it was situated amidst fertile agricultural elds. The composition of birds in major feeding guilds showed that the insectivore guild was the most common with 36.84% species followed by carnivore (29.82%), omnivore (19.30%), herbivore (10.53%) and piscivore (3.51%). Among the birds spotted in area, Darter Anhinga melanogaster (Birdlife International 2012a) and Painted Stork Mycteria leucocephala (Birdlife International 2012b) are near threatened species. Comb Duck, a bird species listed in Appendix II of CITES was also spotted in the Sanctuary. The spotting of these threatened bird species highlights the importance of Chhilchhila Wildlife Sanctuary as an important wintering ground for wetland birds. Awareness Generation at Village Sarsa Discussion with stakeholders 25 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS Ecological Status of Leopard (Panthera pardus) in Kalesar National Park of Haryana (Dr. (Mrs.) Amarinder Kaur, IFS, Chief Wildlife Warden, Haryana) Kalesar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary are two important wildlife habitats situated in Yamunanagar district in eastern Haryana. The forests of Kalesar have also been termed as the 'Pride of Haryana'. Although situated in Haryana, the state boundaries of Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh ank this dense forest on three sides and river Yamuna ows on one side of the forest. On the north western side, the forest of Kalesar is contiguous with the Simbalwara Wildlife Sanctuary of Himachal Pradesh. The Kalesar National Park and the Wildlife Sanctuary are located between 30° 20' to 30° 28' North latitude and 77° 26' to 77° 36' East I Love Kalesar National Park longitude. The forest is primarily a sal (Shorea robusta) and khair (Acacia catechu) forest interspersed with grasslands and is the westernmost limit of naturally occurring sal forest in the country. The Sanctuary is situated in the Shivalik Hill Range which runs along the eastern side of the forest. The elevation varies from 2000 to 3,500 ft. (1,100 m). Geologically, the Shivaliks are the youngest east- west chain of the Himalaya and are formed from the tertiary deposits of the outer Himalaya. They are chie y composed of low sandstone and conglomerates. River Yamuna along with the Western Yamuna Canal are the major sources of water in this region. A wide range of fauna is also found in Kalesar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary. The species of mammals found here include animals like Leopard (Panthera pardus), Jackal, Sambar, Chital, Nilgai, Indian Crested Porcupine, Barking Deer, etc. Uncommon mammals like Leopard cat, Rusty spotted cat, Asiatic Elephant, Goral are also found here. The tiger is said to be a rare visitor from the adjacent Rajaji National Park. Bird species like Red Jungle fowl, Indian Great Horned Owl, Khaleej Pheasant, Black Crested Yellow Bubul, Red Avadavat, etc. may be seen apart from the more common birds like Blue Rock Pigeon, Common King sher, Black Kite, Common Hawk Cuckoo, etc. Reptiles like the Common Monitor Lizard, the Spectacled Cobra, King Cobra, Common Krait, etc. can be found in this region. Recently, a study was conducted by Wildlife Institute of India (WII) Dehradun by using Camera Trapping at Kalesar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary. The study was sponsored by Haryana Forest Department and was aimed at evaluating the population and the density of leopards in the forest of Kalesar. To study the spatial and temporal activity of leopards, camera traps were deployed in 1 X 1 sq km grids in 2 blocks for 21 days in an area of 70.6 sq. km. A spatially explicit capture-recapture (SECR) model was used to estimate leopard density. The pattern of temporal and spatial activity of leopards with respect to prey was also studied. The data were analysed in R platform (ver. 3.0.1) using the package “secr” and ArcGIS. Almost 42 days of camera trapping with a total sampling effort of 1512 trap nights yielded 193 leopard captures. 26 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS The camera trapping exercise recorded a total of 19 mammalian species. The population of leopards was estimated to be 22 ± 1.0 (22.0-25.4). Density was estimated to be 15 individuals per 100 sq km (SE=3.54). Leopards show bimodal activity peaks and seem to use the KWLS areas more than the KNP. Temporal data suggests that there was a signi cant overlap between the temporal activity pattern of the leopard and the wild pig (Δ=0.86), nilgai (Δ=0.83) and sambar (Δ=0.81). The rusty spotted cat was reported for the rst time from this area. The rusty spotted cat is a small felid which is about half the size of a domestic cat but differentiates itself from the domestic cat by the characteristic fawn coat and rusty-brown spots. For a long time, the distribution of this felid was thought to be restricted to the southern part of the country; however, increasing records of the cat from the north have been reported in the recent past. The last con rmed records of the northernmost boundary for this species is from the foothills of Himalayas in Jammu and Kashmir (Chakraborty, 1978) and recent records are from Katerniaghat Wildlife Sanctuary (Anwar et al 2012) in the state of Uttar Pradesh. This record from the state of Haryana is a piece in the missing puzzle of the distribution of this small felid which might be, after all, found throughout the country from the south to the north.

Leopards showed a late evening peak in activity time, tending towards a nocturnal activity pattern. About 61.76% of the total leopard captures were from evening 1800 hrs to morning 0600 hrs. Amongst the prey species, sambar showed peaks at dawn and dusk with 70.52% captures from 1800 hrs to 0600 hrs similar to the temporal activity pattern of the leopard. Nilgai and wild pig showed 54.90% and 64.57% captures respectively between 1800 hrs to 0600 hrs whereas the chital was strongly diurnal (78.71% captures between 0600 hrs to 1800 hrs). The disturbance, which includes captures of cattle, humans, feral dogs and cats, was strongly diurnal as well (80% captures between 0600 hrs to1800 hrs). The kernel density maps generated for leopard and Langur, Wild Boar, Nilgai, Common Palm), Indian Crested Porcupine, Rusty Spotted Cat, Leopard Cat, Gray Langur and Rhesus Macaque. The mapped which were generated based on and dogs throughout the Kalesar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary. The results suggest that the space use of mammals is seemingly intensive in the Wildlife Sanctuary. However, strictly forest Elephant, Leopard Cat, Chital and Barking deer seem to use the National Park more intensively than the Wildlife Sanctuary probably due to lower tolerance to human disturbance. The leopards seem to be using both the areas. The results suggest that the space use of mammals is seemingly intensive in the Wildlife Sanctuary. However, strictly forest Elephant, Leopard Cat, Chital and Barking deer seem to use the National Park more intensively than the Wildlife Sanctuary probably due to lower tolerance to human disturbance. The leopards seem to be using both the areas intensively. The study revealed that the Kalesar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary have an apparently healthy population of leopards. Further monitoring of this population on a regular basis is key to understanding the population dynamics of leopards in Kalesar. The study will certainly helps in the better management of this protected area. The study has revealed some interesting secrets of K alesar National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary. One of them is the occurence of Rusty Spotted Cat : My First Report on Kalesar Rusty spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus). It is one of the cat family's smallest members and is found only in India & Sri Lanka. It is estimated that not more than 1000 pairs of it have been left. The occurance of this cat in Kalesar has been seen for the rst time. This cat feeds on rats, rodents, birds, lizards & frogs. Though they are ground hunters but climbs up to the tall tree to escape predators. Owing to habitat loss and subsequently resulting into dwindling line population, IUCN has enlisted it in its Appendix-I category. 28 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS Status of Establishment of Herbal Parks in the State of Haryana (Vineet Garg, IFS, CF (Planning. & MIS) Herbal Nature Park, Chuharpur, Yamunanagar Govt. of Haryana noti ed its State Forest Policy in the year 2006. As per this policy, one of the strategies to increase the Forest and Tree Cover is conservation and propagation of medicinal plants. Lack of scienti c management and destructive harvesting has threatened the existence of medicinal plants in nature. Over extraction to meet the market demand has resulted in decline in their number and destruction of their habitat. This has led to extinction of some medicinal plant species while a large number of them are endangered. This policy envisages that steps should, therefore, be taken for in-situ conservation of medicinal plants in the Shiwaliks and other parts of State. The State Forest Policy further envisages that Herbal parks and Herbal Gyan Kendras should be set up in each district to educate people about the traditional Indian system of medicine for generating awareness, preserving gene pool and production of quality seeds and seedlings for distribution to farmers. Farmers should also be encouraged for ex-situ cultivation and propagation of medicinal plants to save the natural biodiversity and income generation. Enabling environment should be created to facilitate marketing of medicinal plants. The department prepared a scheme in the year 2005-06 for establishment of Herbal Parks and got it approved from the Planning department, Haryana. Since then, this scheme is part of the State Annual Plan and provision of budget is made under this scheme namely P-01-30-2406-01-102-71-51-N-V- Herbal Nature Park - for creation, maintenance and management of these Herbal Parks. The purpose of establishment of these Herbal Parks is to generate awareness about traditional Indian system of medicine and to encourage farmers / general public for diversi cation of agriculture by promoting cultivation of medicinal plants. 29 April - September, 2015 HARYANA FOREST NEWS 48 Herbal Parks have already been established and another 10 Herbal Parks are under establishment as tabulated below:- Sr. No. 1 Name of District Panchkula 2 3 Name of Herbal Park Kapur Vatika DP-244, Mallah Road Thapli Herbal Park Village Thapli Ambala Tikar – Tal Herbal Park Harar Vatika Yamunanagar Cantt Herbal Park Waqt Board Herbal Park Shankar Herbal Park Rudraksh Vatika 10 Kurukshetra Adibadri Herbal Park Arjun Vatika 11 Kaithal 4 5 6 7 8 9 12 13 Karnal 14 Area (in acres) 25 Status of Land Tikar – Tal 20 Old Officer's Colony Ambala Cantt Ambala Cantt. 5 25 5 Army land Govt. land 2009-10 2011-12 Khera Village 4 2012-13 2008-09 10 Rawgarh 8 Jamun Vatika Siwan 25 Guhna Vatika Guhna village 5 Ashok Vatika Gharaunda 5 Indri Herbal Park Indri 10 Patti Kalyana Village HAIC Murthal Khanpur 14 8 12 Samar Gopalpur 42 Govt. land Panipat Bilva Vatika 16 17 Sonepat 18 Rohtak Amaltas Vatika Khanpur Kalan Herbal Park Neem Vatika Year of Establishment Protected Forest Protected Forest Protected Forest Govt. land Panchayat Land Reserved Forest Panchayat Land Protected Forest/ Panchayat Land Reserved Forest Panchayat Land Municipal Committee Land Protected Forest Panchayat Land Govt. land Govt. land 15 30 Location Chuharpur Village Adibadri 184 10 2005-06 2011-12 2011-12 2005-06 2006-07 2009-10 2007-08 2007-08 2011-12 2008-09 2011-12 2008-09 2008-09 2009-10 April - September, 2015 Sr. No. 19 Name of District Jhajjar 20 HARYANA FOREST NEWS Name of Herbal Park Putranjiva Vatika Kamalgarh Area (in acres) 8 Herbal Park Bhindawas Bhindawas 5 Anwala Herbal Vatika Ratanjot Vatika Sohna 15 Gurgaon Canal, Faridabad Salimabad 10 21 Gurgaon 22 Faridabad 23 Mahendergarh Guggal Vatika 24 Location 35 45 26 Chawan Rishi Doshi Village Vatika Faizalipur Herbal Faizalipur Village Park Kariya Herbal Park Kariya village 27 Kheri Herbal Park Kheri village 17 28 Mohalara Herbal Park Blaha Kalan Herbal Park Mahendergarh Herbal Park Bachhod Herbal Park Koka Herbal Park Mohalara Village 16 Blaha Kalan Village Forest Complex Mahendergarh Bachhod Village 19 Koka Village 10 Kanina Herbal Park Indira Gandhi Memorial Herbal Park Gurwara Herbal Park Khalilpuri Vatika Kanina Village 10 Devlawas 16 Gurawara 9 Khalilpuri 9 25 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 31 Rewari Shaheed Bhagat Kakodia Singh Herbal Park, Kakodia 17 16 5 10 9 Status of Land Panchayat Land Adjoining Wildlife Sanctuary Reserved Forest Protected Forest Reserved Forest Panchayat Land Panchayat Land Panchayat Land Panchayat Land Panchayat Land Panchayat Land Govt.

This year the Hon'ble Chief Minister Haryana & Forest Minister started the plantation drive at State Level Van Mahotsav at Chhachhrauli, Yamunanagar and infused a fresh blood in plantation campaign. The Hon'ble CM agged off Van Chetna Yatra and exhorted the officers to spread the greenery in every corner of state by involving government departments/institutions. Forest Division Karnal took the initiative of roping in larger institutions situated in Karnal in this plantation drive eg. NDRI, Sainik School Kunjpura, HAP Madhuban. Divisional Forest Officer Karnal contacted Dr. A.K. Srivastav, Director NDRI during Van Chetna Yatra and planned to give the plantation drive a shape of Green Movement by involving all students, research scholars, faculty members and staff, on our Independence Day i.e. 15th August, 2015. Every year around 150 research scholars and 300 students take admission in NDRI and spent at least 2-3 years in completing their degree. Involving all by motivating them was a challenge. Overall around 1000 students studies in one academic year. NDRI Karnal invited Sh. Vinod Kumar Bhatia, I.F.S, (an alumni of NDRI) C.F (M&E), Karnal and Jitender Ahlawat, I.F.S., D.C.F. ,Karnal as Guest of Honour on Independence Day celebration. To increase the belongingness with the plant planted it was decided all faculty members, research scholars students, staff will bring their own name plates to be planted along with plant. The idea behind involving all was that at least for 2-3 year every plant will be taken care by his planter till it become a full grown tree. Over all 10,000 saplings were planted in NDRI. It is expected that NDRI campus will be more green in future and it will certainly lead to increase in green cover of Karnal city. Credit of this Successful Plantation goes to eld staff of Karnal Division who exhibited enormous performance capability to successfully organizing such large plantation drives.
