Uttar Pradesh Forest Corporation was established in 1975. Keeping in mind social and environmental objectives. The main aim to set up Corporation was to eliminate contractor who was responsible for rapid denudation of forests and giving raw deal to the weaker section of the society. The Corporation started its activity with a small capital of Rs. 15 lakhs and during 1990-91 has earned a profit of more than Rs. 30 crores. Corporation is also doing welfare activities through its sale depots by selling forest produce at reasonable prices, sawin round timber of farmers and providing technical guidance for planting. The Corporation is also undertaking afforestation on privately owned wastelands to meet their need at doorstep and also to make available raw materials for forest based industries.

Skidding of logs uphill is a big task which can not be done manually. Various types of winches are utilized for this purpose. The friction on the ground due to skidding of logs calls for powerful winches but if logs are hauled along the skyline then the power required is much less. The present study in the hauling up by short distance skyline crane was conducted in Logging Division Uttarkashi U.P. in December 1968. The cost of working comes to Rs. 574 per cu m which is quite reasonable for such work. A further reduction in cost figures by 10 to 12% may be possible if the steps suggested in the paper are taken up.- Economics of Power Saw Compared with Hand Saws in Felling of Sal (Shorea robusta)

Felling and cross-cutting in the country is at present being done by hand saws. Power saws are used very sparingly in depatmental logging works and also by some private forest industries. The use of power saw is limited due to many factors such as its non-availability in the country, its know how, availability of cheap labour, etc. In near future it is expected that use of power saw will become essential due to rising labour cost and concentrated fellings envisaged in the plantations of fast growing species for supply of paper and rayon grade pulp, etc. The present study was done with a view to find out the time gain in mechanising the fellings and also to work out the cost figures and compare them with those of hand saws. It has been concluded that power saw is economical compared to hand saws in felling of Sal (Shorea robusta) trees within the diameter range of 20 cm to 60 cm. Working by chain saw costs about 36 to 150% less than raker saw and about 109 to 310% less than peg tooth saw. The difference in cost figures increases with the increase in diameter of the tree.- A Study of Log Skidding by Tractors
