Saguna Vanasamvardhan Technique (SVT)
This is an easily adoptable and simple technique to prevent forest fires and to effectively re-generate greenery on barren hills and fallow lands. Following objectives are well within reach at fastest speed by using SVT.
- Almost all hills and fallow lands are burning away due to uncontrolled fires causing multifarious and humungous losses. This can be completely avoided.
- Soil erosion on hill slopes can be stopped completely and at the same time re-generation of new soil can be initiated.
- By forming soil aggregation on the hill slopes, hills will become large storage of water.
- Creating live contour bunding of specially identified plants such as 'Karonde' and Wild Cliff Bananas will produce positivity on the barren hill slopes to promote effective survival of newly planted tree species.
- It will stop land-slides.
- It will stop casualties and accident caused to forest workers during fire fighting in forest.
