National Workshop to Highlight Forestry Innovations and Conservation Efforts

The National Workshop will host senior representatives and Managing Directors from forest development corporations of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana, and Karnataka. Presentations will cover a range of critical topics such as thinning and felling, general and Miyawaki plantation techniques, deposit work, theme-based plantation projects, and eco-tourism initiatives.

A documentary film illustrating the corporation’s efforts and successes over the past 50 years will be screened during the program. The workshop aims to emphasize Madhya Pradesh’s leadership in forestry, forest, and wildlife conservation.

Significant Achievements in Afforestation and Sustainable Forestry

The Corporation operates in 22 districts across Madhya Pradesh, managing 13 timber depots and 15 permanent nurseries. Over its 50 years, the corporation has managed approximately 4.25 lakh hectares of forest land, treating 3.90 lakh hectares and successfully planting over 3.14 lakh hectares. In the last two years alone, it has planted 2.48 crore saplings.

The Corporation also produced 1.7 crore teak root shoots in 2025, underscoring its commitment to high-quality forest regeneration.

Tackling Challenges in Tiger Reserves and Wildlife Buffer Zones

Many project divisions of the MPSFDC border sensitive ecological areas, including tiger reserves, national parks, and sanctuary buffer zones. These areas are home to wildlife such as tigers, leopards, bears, and deer. To protect this wildlife and maintain ecological balance, the corporation engages in vital activities such as Boribandhan (soil conservation structures), pond construction, and Jhiriya (spring) development.

In the financial year 2024-25, the corporation produced approximately 60,000 cubic meters of timber and 3,100 tonnes of bamboo, balancing commercial activity with conservation efforts.

The corporation reported a revenue of Rs. 170 crores for the financial year 2024-25, reflecting its strong economic and environmental contributions to the state.
