The project is being implemented in 13 States and Union Territories
It provides technical support to States for protection of elephants
BANGALORE: All the States that come under the centrally sponsored Project Elephant scheme will henceforth have to submit an action plan about conservation and other measures to get the annual financial assistance, Inspector-General of Forests and Director of Project Elephant A.N. Prasad has said.
Mr. Prasad said the action plan to be submitted for a period of five years should contain “monitorable” targets. “For example, a scheme related to elephant corridors should have the number of corridors to be tackled, the number of areas and people who would be affected.” The idea here is to have continuity in the implementation of the schemes irrespective of the changes in the officialdom, Mr. Prasad told The Hindu on the sidelines of a workshop on elephant corridors held here on Thursday. “A GO (government order) will be sent to all the States shortly,” he added.
Launched in 1992, the Project Elephant is being implemented in 13 States and Union Territories namely Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Orissa, Uttaranchal, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. The project was extended to Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh recently.
