Keeping in view its usefulness in Narva Vikas Yojana, according to the intention of Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, Forest Minister Mr. Mohammad Akbar said that this structure is very useful for Vananchal. In view of this, he has directed to include the construction works of 30-40 models on priority in the up- or downhill areas located in Vananchal of the state. It is worth mentioning that about 30-40 models being built under Narva Vikas Yojana, Principal Chief Conservator of Forests and Forest Force Chief Shri Rakesh Chaturvedi and Chief Executive Officer of CAMPA Shri V. Srinivas Rao said that this model is very suitable in the areas of Vananchal where the soil depth is 0.60 meters and clayey soil, light rocky land, non-fertile land, small shrub forest and barren land. After a few days from its construction, the land of the said areas starts becoming fertile. In the 30-40 model, the rain water is collected through small chocked bunds. 20 x 1.40 x 0.90 m are filled in a pit and by making it in series, the moisture in the said site remains for extra time. By working in this method, rain water can be stopped for a long time.
