Summary of Major Programmes under Central/Centrally Sponsored Sectors under Implementation by the Ministries of Environment & Forests, Rural Development & Agriculture Involved in Combating Desertification in India.
Ministry of Environment and Forests:
1. Integrated Afforestation and Eco-Development Scheme (IAEPS)- To promote afforestation and Projects development of degraded forests by adopting an integrated approach to the development of land and other related natural resources on watershed basis, through the microplanning process.
2. Area Oriented Fuel wood and Fodder Projects Scheme (AOFFPS)- To augment the production of fuel wood and fodder in 242 identified fuel wood districts in the country.
3. Conservation and Development of Non-Timber Forest Produce (NTFP) including medicinal plants- Special focus on tribal population for whom NTFP is the main source of livelihood
Ministry of Rural Development:
Implementation of programmes for rural development including wastelands development.
1. Desert Development Programme (DDP)- Restore degraded areas due to soil erosion, water and moisture stress with low productivity and inadequate vegetative cover.
2. Drought Prone Area Programme (DPAP)- To restore ecosystems of desert areas (227 blocks of 36 districts in 7 States) affected by extreme climatic conditions (temperature, poor rainfall, low humidity and high wind velocity) combined with recurrent drought. Implemented on a watershed basis with the involvement of the Panchayati Raj Institutions
3. Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojana (JGSY) (formerly Jawahar Rozgar Yojana)- Executed by the Panchayati Raj Institutions as per the felt needs of the poor. There is no separate earmarking of funds for social forestry.
Ministry of Agriculture:
1. National Watershed Development Rainfed Areas- Project Aims at conservation of rainwater for holistic and for integrated development of potential watersheds and promotion of farming system approach, management of common property resources, augmenting family income and nutritional levels through household production systems.
2. Integrated Watershed Development Project (Hills)- Designed to address the integrated development of hilly areas especially of the ecologically degraded Shivalik, Karewas ranges in Haryana, HP, J&K and Punjab.
3. Integrated Watershed Development (Plains)- For minimising ecological degradation by Project promoting sustainable and replicable rainwater conservation measures and diversified production system.
