Saguna Vanasamvardhan Technique (SVT)

The Saguna Vanasanvardhan Technique (SVT), pioneered by the SVT Team at Saguna Baug, Neral, Raigad is nothing but a simple and effective technique to stop forest fires and to reproduce green perennial vegetation. Preventing forest fires and thus, restoring the natural vegetation, ultimately enhancing the water infiltration and aquifer recharging capacities is the basic tenant on which the SVT project is built upon.

SVT has been operational after the in-principal oral approval by Principal Secretary, Mr. Vikas Kharge, Forest Department, Govt. of Maharashtra, since 2018, for implementation of the pilot project on 3 hills at Neral.
