Good Initiative: Relocation

The ongoing Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Project Tiger requires enhanced allocation towards creation of inviolate space for tigers through relocation / rehabilitation of people living in the core/critical tiger habitat areas, as notified by tiger States. The details of central assistance provided to States in this regard during the current Plan period are at Annexure-I.



The Ministry of Environment and Forests has advised the States for allowing the use of Net Present Value (NPV) money under CAMPA, for various activities, which interalia, include rehabilitation of people from protected areas as well.



This information was given by the Minister of State for Environment and Forests (independent charge) Shri Jairam Ramesh in a written reply to a question by Dr T N Seema in Rajya Sabha today.
