However the expanse of these plantations were less. With the advent of industrialization expanding population base and degradation of forest there is an urgent need to establish large scale plantations which on one hand fulfill the need of industries fuel fodder and timber requirement of people and on the other provide economic and environmental safety. In India generally degraded lands are spared for forest related activities.
