1178 hectares of forest land diverted for non-forest use in J&K over 5 years
Srinagar, Jul 30:More than 1178 hectares of forest land in Jammu and Kashmir have been approved for diversion for non-forest purposes over the last five years, with the annual diversion touching its highest level in 2025-26, according to data placed in the Rajya Sabha by the Union Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change. In a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change Kirti Vardhan Singh said that 1178.58 hectares of forest land in Jammu and Kashmir were diverted for non-forestry activities between April 1, 2021, and March 31, 2026, under the provisions of the Van (Sanrakshan Evam Samvardhan) Adhiniyam, 1980. The data reveals that 262.93 hectares of forest land were diverted during 2021-22, followed by 186.51 hectares in 2022-23 and 126.65 hectares in 2023-24, marking the lowest diversion during the five years. However, the figure rose sharply thereafter to 292.09 hectares in 2024-25 and further increased to 310.39 hectares in 2025-26, the highest annual diversion recorded during the period under review. The ministry's data shows that Jammu and Kashmir accounted for nearly 1.12 percent of the 1,05,594.32 hectares of forest land diverted across the country during the five-year period. Among neighbouring Himalayan regions, Himachal Pradesh reported diversion of 2616.18 hectares, Uttarakhand 2,692.85 hectares, while Ladakh recorded only 0.94 hectares during the same period. Madhya Pradesh topped the country with 24,969.87 hectares, followed by Odisha with 12,716.27 hectares, and Arunachal Pradesh with 10,110 hectares. The Centre clarified that diversion of forest land is permitted only after obtaining prior approval under the forest conservation law and is accompanied by a series of mandatory mitigation measures. These include raising Compensatory Afforestation (CA) over equivalent or identified land, payment of Net Present Value (NPV) of forests, implementation of Soil and Moisture Conservation measures, Wildlife Management Plans, and Catchment Area Treatment (CAT) Plans, wherever applicable. These safeguards are intended to minimise the ecological impact arising from the diversion of forest land. The ministry said that implementation of compensatory afforestation is governed by the Compensatory Afforestation Fund (CAF) Act, 2016 and the CAF Rules, 2018, which seek to offset the loss of forest cover and ecosystem services caused by diversion of forest land. Afforestation activities are undertaken through approved Annual Plans of Operation in accordance with the provisions of the Act and the rules. According to the reply, proposals seeking diversion of forest land for non-forestry purposes are processed online through the PARIVESH portal, which provides details regarding forest land proposed for diversion, the user agency and the status of proposals. However, information regarding the number of trees felled under individual projects is maintained separately by the respective state and Union Territory governments and is not centrally compiled by the ministry. At the national level, the government informed Parliament that 1,05,594.32 hectares of forest land were diverted for non-forest purposes between April 2021 and March 2026. Roads accounted for the largest share of diversion at 22,284.65 hectares, followed by mining and quarrying (23,976.72 hectares), hydel and irrigation projects (18,788.12 hectares), power transmission and village electrification projects (14,006.45 hectares), defence projects (6959.21 hectares), and railway projects (6757.84 hectares). Responding to a separate part of the question on the impact of forest diversion, the ministry said the Forest Survey of India (FSI) carries out biennial assessments of forest and tree cover through the India State of Forest Report (ISFR) using satellite-based remote sensing backed by ground verification and field inventories. As per the ISFR 2023, India's total forest and tree cover stands at 8,27,356.95 sq km, constituting 25.17 percent of the country's geographical area.
