If, however, because of the preoccupations of the Prime Minister, he is unable to chair the Authority, then it should be chaired by the Deputy Chairman. The Secretariat of the Authority should be the Planning Commission. RECOMMENDATION - 2 Creation of National Himalayan Environment and Development Fund (NHEDF) The Group recommends, that a National Himalayan Environment and De-velopment Fund (NHEDF) would be necessary to accelerate the implementation of the National Policy for Integrated Development in the Himalayas. The Fund should start with a reasonable allocation and once its effectiveness and role gets established, the allocation should be enhanced suitably. RECOMMENDATION - 3 Enlarged role of the Ministry of Environment and Forests(MOEF) The Ministry of Environment and Forests must strengthen its role in the Himalayan region. It should have a separate Division dealing with the problems of the Himalayas in an integrated fashion. This Division must have competent staff members dealing with administration, management and scientific inputs leading to better quality of life of the people of the Himalayan regions. The G.B.
