Forest Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah has said that the process of disposal of Minor Forest Produce collected on Minimum Support Price should be simplified. This will not only increase the income of the state minor forest produce but also benefit the poor sections involved in this work.
Shah was presiding over the meeting of Inter-departmental Forest Produce Committee at Mantralaya. The Forest Minister directed that powers should be delegated at the district level in the auction process of the collected minor forest produce, so that the auction process of minor forest produce can be completed within the time-limit.
Managing Director of State Minor Forest Produce Pushkar Singh told that the collection work of Minor Forest Produce is being done in the state under “Minimum Support Price Scheme” sponsored by Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation of India, Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
