Abstract
Krushi Aranya Prothsaha Yojane (KAPY) is a special programme launched by the Government of Karnataka. In this programme, the Forest Department raises quality seedlings in forest nurseries and distributes seedlings to the farmers, public and NGOs at subsidized rates, and also pays incentives to the farmers to encourage them to grow native tree species on their farmlands. Incentives of Rs 10, 15 and 20 have been paid for each seedling that survived after the first, second and third year respectively. Evaluation of the seedlings would be done by the forest officers. In 2017, the incentive amount was increased to Rs 30, 30 and 40 for the first, second and third year respectively, for each surviving seedling at the end of each growing period.
