E-seva portal for selling timber and non-timber forest produces in Tamil Nadu

The Tamil Nadu State Government, under the Biodiversity Conservation and Greening Project, has embarked upon the mission of increasing Tamil Nadu’s forest cover from the existing 23% to 35% by encouraging the farmers to grow suitable trees in private lands for timber, wood pulp, matchsticks etc.

Steps were being taken through the Department of Forest to weed-out the obstacles in cutting and selling these trees while scrupulously following the existing laws.

This project was being supported by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

Moreover, the growers were being encouraged and trained to cultivate herbal trees and plants, which were being largely used in preparing siddha and ayurvedha formulations and have great demand throughout the year.

“Hence, we are on preparing an e-seva portal for transacting all businesses regarding timber and non-timber forest produces by involving the growers, buyers, siddha and ayurvedha doctors and the companies involved in preparing siddha and ayurvedha formulations. This portal will connect the suppliers and the buyers to ensure continuous supply of timber and non-timber forest produces while every law of Department of Forest is strictly followed. The forest officials will constantly monitor and facilitate these transparent transactions to create win-win situation for the growers and the buyers.”
