The existing forest cover in Orissa is 48,366 km2. Out of the area having forest cover, 20,196 km2 have crown density of less than 40%, which would require treatment for regeneration and reforestation. The degradation of forest has resulted into the vicious poverty cycle wherein absence of livelihood options encouraged the local people for more and more removal of forest produce in unsustainable manner leading further degradation of forest with spread of poverty and unemployment. Thus the project is necessary for improving the living condition of the people residing in and around the forest by providing them livelihood options consistent with conservation of forest and its sustainable management. This is consistent with the development policy of the State particularly in forestry sector and in accordance with National Forest Policy. Conservation of forest resources and its sustainable management in supporting livelihood to people living in and around the forest besides amelioration of environment is well recognized.
