3.Promoting Supply Chain development
3.1 Forestry research
3.1.1 Afforestation technology for urban and peri-urban
forestry
• Development of viable Urban Forestry Model involve:
- Screening of highly drought tolerant, site specific species
- Screening of species for pollution abetment
- Screening of carbon sequestration short and long rotation species
- Screening of agroforestry models for different agro climatic zones
• Development of taller seedling planting and transplanting
techniques to achieve higher survival rates
• Development of Phytoremediation Models for different
effluent systems of industrial districts
- Screening species for potential Phytoremediation plants
- Developing a tree based sewage water treatment model
- Developing textiles industries effluent treatment model
- Developing dying industries effluent treatment models
• Development of 2 ha. of Eco-parks and Biodiversity
parks based on the themes such as Nakshatra vanam,
Agro-forestry model, Pollution abetment, NTFP Planting,
Medicinal Garden etc.
3.1.2 Tree improvement
• Establishment of Hi-Tech Central Nursery labs - 32
districts
3.1.3 Bio-productivity enhancement
• Developing an e-platform for Market Intelligence of Timber Products
•Developing Forest Utilization units in Salem, Courtallam, Dindigul, Thanjavur, Nagercoil for seasoning and wood treatments for preservation & value addition
•Developing Money Yield Table for Important tree species like Teak, Melia, Ailanthus, Neem, Vaagai, Gmelina etc., especially to determine the time to be arvested
3.1.4 Conservation of CR / EN / DD
• Planting insitu / exsitu of CR / EN / DD species - 1.00
lakh taller seedlings
• Establishment of Hi-Tech Central Nursery labs - 32
districts
