- With a view to conserving forest resources in perpetuity, the new forest policy requires scrupulous regard for sustained yield in the management of all classes of forests. The fluctuations in the annual out turn of forests upset State budgets, industries and other national enterprises; all working plans, therefore, should aim at confining them within the narrowest limits. This aspect assumes even greater significance in case where private owners manage their own forests. The compilation of all round working plans, therefore, requires :-(a)tire calculation of increment so that what is annually put on is annually cut, leaving the original assets intact or improved;(b)the preparation of maps and investigation on the propagation and tending of various species, their increment, the optimum conditions of their growth and the regulation of yield;(c)carefully planned afforestation schemes to replace inferior tree growth by valuable species of commercial importance.Each State, therefore, should set up a permanent organisation to deal with working plans. Their compilation and revision, and deviation from them, research and statistics as well as to conduct detailed surveys of available forest resources which are a sine qua non for a sound forest management.
