June 28, 2009 :Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal, Chief Minister has requested the Centre Government to extend the provision for maintenance of plantations raised under Centrally Sponsored Scheme from five years to seven years to ensure their survival as biotic and abiotic pressures keep on increasing every year.
In a letter written to Union Minister for Environment and Forests Sh. Jai Ram Ramesh, Chief Minister said that the matter was still pending with the Government of India which needed an early decision.
In another letter written to Union Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Minister, Dr. C.P. Joshi , Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal, Chief Minister has reiterated the demand to include Crop Protectors as one of the permissible works under NREGA for Himachal so as to save the crop worth crores of rupees from the menace of wild animals.
Prof. Prem Kumar Dhumal said that he has also requested the Union Government earlier but the decision of the Central Government was still awaited. Since the work, to be performed by the Crops Protectors is unsusceptible to measurement, appropriate methodology will be evolved by the State Government to assign the Crop's Protection work to the workers so engaged alongwith the certification of the duty performed by them.
He said that the farmers of the State would benefit immensely if engagement of Crops' Protectors is allowed as one of the permissible works under NREGA in respect of Himachal Pradesh.
