Losses To The State Of Meghalaya Due To The Ban On Felling Of Trees By The Supreme Court Of India
The State of Forest Report 2005 for Meghalaya indicates as follows for the Khasi and Jaintia Hills districts of the State:
District Geographical Area (Sq. Km) Forest Area (Sq. Km)
Very dense Forests Moderately dense Forests Open Forests Total Sq Km
W.K.Hills 5247 38 1962 2029 4029
Jaintia Hills 3819 101 973 1152 2226
Ri-Bhoi 2376 128 773 1098 1999
E.K.Hills 2820 0 817 1019 1836
Totals 14262 267 4792 5298 10,090
The total area under working schemes for the Khasi and Jaintia Hills Districts of the State is:
(181.35 +169.61) = 350.96 Sq Km.
The actual volume allowed to be removed as per these approved working Schemes per annum is 67,000 M3 (35,000M3 Pine and 27,000M3 non-pine)
It can therefore be computed, at conservative estimates, that if approved working schemes are prepared and gotten approved for the total area under forest in the Khasi and Jaintia Hills Districts, the volume of timber available for extraction would be:
7,76,930 M3 Non-Pine at 100% of the approved working scheme
11,50,260 M3 Pine at 100% of the approved working scheme, and
3,88,470 M3 Non-Pine at 50% of the approved working scheme
5,75,130 M3 Pine at 50% of the approved working scheme.
The revenue that would have accrued from 50% of the above areas for the timber available from them would be as follows.
To the forest owners @ Rs 700.00 per M3 for pine = Rs. 40,25,91,000.00
@ Rs.1050.00 per M3 for non-pine = Rs. 40,78,93,500.00
To the State Government @Rs.500.00 per truck load as Export Transit fees, assuming each truck carries 15M3sawn timber ie (3,88,470 M3 + 5,75,130 M3 x 60% / 15) x 500 considering only 60% outturn from the round logs, we have
Rs.1,92,72,000.00 per annum
To the State Agency, FDCM Ltd @ Rs 70.00 per M3 = Rs. 6,74,52,000.00 per annum.
To the State Government as VAT @ 12.5 % of royalty = Rs. 24,15,54,600.00 for pine and Rs 5,09,86,687.00 for...
