Green-cover changes:
The forest in the springshed areas has been restored completely. About 27 Hectares at the core area has been turned to medium dense forest. The project has also maintained 2 Hectares of undisturbed highly dense forest. The project has conserved roughly above 100 Ha of forest in adjoining and other places in the area where shifting cultivation is not allowed for future water security.
