The report of such monitoring and evaluation are acted upon by the concerned State CAMPA authorities. The land for raising compensatory afforestation (CA) is identified by the States/UTs in accordance with the provisions of the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Rules, 2023 and the guidelines issued by the Central Government. The State Governments are required to ensure that the lands identified for CA should be suitable for afforestation, management and free from all encumbrances.Further, to compensate for the loss of ecosystem goods and services resulting from the diversion of forest land, a site-specific compensatory afforestation scheme is prepared and implemented by the State Forest Department on the identified compensatory afforestation (CA) land. The scheme, inter alia, provides for plantation of indigenous species, soil and moisture conservation measures, and protection and maintenance of the plantations for a minimum period of 10 years. *****Annexure- 1 Annexure referred to in reply to part (a) of Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 3469, due for answer on 10.08.2026, asked by Shri Dushyant Singh regarding "Assessment of CAMPA Fund Utilisation"( In Rupees) Receipts from States/UTs for the last five years Sl.
