The total proposed formation width is 16 m . In Wild Life Sanctuary area it is proposed to strengthen the existing carriageway and retaining the existing alignment and formation width. It is also proposed to improve the existing earthen shoulder into hard shoulder by providing Interlocking Cement Concrete tiles within existing ROW. Apart from above it is proposed to provide W-Beam Crash Barrier on Valley side wherever the existing parapet wall is damaged or not available at site. Only 3 minor bridges are to be reconstructed without widening inside Wildlife Sanctuary Area as the existing condition of the bridges are very poor and hydrologically inadequate. Bypass / Realignment: To minimize social impacts and to improve the existing geometry of the road, bypass / realignment is proposed at 2 locations: a) Kaudalli bypass – length: 3.365 Km b) Realignment near Elemera village – Length: 0.530 km These bypasses/ realignments are outside the Wildlife Sanctuary area . Road Intersections: There are 7 major roads (3 in outside sanctuary area and 4 inside the sanctuary area) and 19 minor road/village roads (16 in outside sanctuary area and 3 inside the sanctuary area) connecting the project road. All the junctions outside the sanctuary area have been proposed for improvement as per IRC guidelines and junctions inside the sanctuary area will be improved within the available ROW without disturbing the existing trees, if any . Culverts: Outside Sanctuary area - 11 reconstruction and 6 new culverts are proposed. All 141 culverts located within wildlife sanctuary area will be retained without widening.

  • “Grazing Business Shrinking the Potential
    1 A GENERAL ARTICLE “GRAZING BUSINESS SHRINKING THE POTENTIAL TIGER RESERVE” ! “ALARMING STORY OF “LIVESOTOCK-GRAZING-BUSINESS” IN FORTHCOMING MM HILLS TIGER RESERVE” Massive commercial exploitation of vast wild life expanse of MM Hills & adjoining forest reserves for livestock grazing is deteriorating the most promising territorial jurisdiction of Tigers and prey population of ungulates leading to degradation of the existing forests and outstanding wild life habitat. A K Singh Nearly 21 percent of Karnataka‟s forest area is affected by livestock grazing ( FSI 1995). Nearly 54% of the forest area of one of the most promising forthcoming MM Hills Tiger Reserve experiences grazing incidence causing severe degradation of the forests and deterioration of wild life habitat. The livestock population in Karnataka as per 1997 census is 45.5 million. It is at its zenith and is going on beyond carrying capacity of adjoining forest reserves contiguous to rural areas due to multiple business & purely commercial reasons. Farmer‟s dependence on the livestock for manure, agricultural cultivation & small scale business operations are on the rise. Use of cattle for agriculture operations and transport, livestock as a source of income generation, cattle farming as main occupation, livestock farming as insurance against crop failures and drought. Grazing and browsing by domestic cattle, goat, sheep is in its full swing in forests areas of MM Hills. Uncontrolled grazing in forests, often beyond their carrying capacity by livestock has adversely affected the regeneration status and quality as well as growing stock of our forests. Over grazing also affects soil properties adversely. The negative impact on soil include formation of small gullies, loss of top soil, compaction of soil and reduction of porosity.

  • Executive Summary I. Introduction
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I. INTRODUCTION i. Background Water is going to be valued than a precious metal in near future. Farming community will be in a disastrous condition as water depletion is a common phenomena all over the world. If we are not intend to inculcate ourselves to follow new, innovative techniques, to stop drastic drawdown and drying down of aquifers, our prosperity will suffer in near future. That is why our Hon’ble President of India addressed to the joint session of Parliament of 16thLokasaba with a note “Each Drop of water is precious” and the Government of India is giving utmost priority to secure, to store, to save the existence of ‘water’ as an asset for the deliverance of livelihood. Thus a new project: Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana” with the motto of “HarKhetKoPaani” was launched with a slogan “Per drop More Crop”. ii. Vision of District Irrigation Plan Achieving the goal of bringing irrigation water to every farm, there is need to converge all ongoing efforts, put all efforts under one umbrella and to bridge the gaps through location specific innovative interventions. iii. Objectives of District Irrigation Plan 1) Achieving the convergence of investments in irrigation at the field level 2) Enhance the physical access of water on the farm and expand cultivable area under assured irrigation (Har Khet Ko Pani) 3) Integration of water source, distribution and its efficient use, to make best use of water through appropriate technologies and practices. 4) Improve on-farm water use efficiency to reduce wastage and increase availability both in duration and extent.
