Commercial Tree: To earn good income from farming, farming alone is not enough, so farmers are being linked to related activities. These days many state governments are motivating the farmers to plant trees, so that the soil structure is better, the environment is benefited and the farmers can also get good income. Eucalyptus, tissue culture bamboo, tissue culture teak, milia dubia and other wood-based trees are counted in such commercial trees, whose cultivation can bring income up to 50,000 annually. There is also a provision of 50 to 100 percent subsidy for planting these trees.
Chief Minister Tree Estate Scheme
Mukhyamantri Vriksh Sampada Yojana is being run in Chhattisgarh for commercial plantation, under which the government has a target of planting commercial trees in 36,000 acres in one year and 1,80,000 acres in five years. This much land can only be cultivated, so farmers are also getting grants for planting trees.
The state government has set a target of planting 15 crore trees in the next 5 years. This model will prove to be helpful in environmental protection, because by planting so many trees, 20 million tonnes of carbon will be absorbed and farmers will also get good income from the sale of carbon credits.
Under the Mukhyamantri Vriksha Sampada Scheme, farmers with their own cultivable land, government, semi-government or government institutions, private educational institutions, private trusts, non-government institutions, panchayats or farmers who do farming on contract land are also eligible for plantation. Can take advantage of grants.
