DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

INTRODUCTION 

Domestic violence is defined when victims including anyone, despite external identities which differ from citizen to citizen1. Domestic violence was initially known as wife abuse, Victims of domestic violence include: 

  • Spouses 
  • Sexual/Dating/Intimate partners 
  • Family members 
  • Children 
  • Cohabitants 

DATA 

The National Family Health Survey (NHFS) data shows that almost 30% of Indian women have been abused in some way or the other by their husbands at some points of their life.  

Thirty-one percent of respondents in NFHS (Round 3, 2005) – somewhat 20,000 women –complained that they were sufferers of domestic violence. Surprisingly, almost 75% did not look for assistance from anyone.2Instances of reporting to the police amplifies more than two folds when the cases of domestic violence are severe. Ergo, even then only 1.5% of women go to the police. 

The ethnographic data evinces, that of the women becoming the sufferers of severe atrocities – ranging from broken bones, bruises to burns – none approached the police to report violence except in one instance where a woman sought police help not for battery, but the abduction of her toddler son by her husband. 

Many have a sceptical attitude towards the working of police, that unless bribed they won’t work and that seeking police intervention would tarnish their reputation in the society. 

The extent to which women approached multiple sources of help is quite scanty. Of all women experiencing domestic violence, 26% seek help from at least one source, and 7% seek help from more than one sources. Many women in the rural areas continue to bear the atrocities inflicted upon them because they have nobody to rely on except for their husband, so they accept their fate and do not report to the authorities concerned. 

CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS 

  1. RIGHT TO BE FREE FROM VIOLENCE: 

Every citizen in the country has the right to be free from violence at any point in time. This is because everyone is equal despite age, colour, race, caste, sex. Everyone deserves a peaceful life. This right is applicable from women and children who undergo domestic violence as well. 

  1. RIGHT TO DIGNITY: 

The Constitution provides personal liberty to all persons. It includes, all the dimensions of life which makes a person’s life purposeful, complete and provides a reason for them to live.3 The human life has its reason and there is no reason why life should not be enjoyed with permitted legal pleasures. 

  1. RIGHT TO SHELTER: 

The need of human is different from that of an animal. For animals it is about the safe guarding of the body, whereas for a human being it is the residing The Constitution aims at fulfilling the development of every child.  The shelter does not have to satisfy the features of a luxurious houses, but it should be mud proof and fire proof. This is the basic shelter any being requires to run a life. The Court held that the right to shelter is a fundamental right to citizens of the nation and it was looked into Article 21 of the Constitution. The right to shelter serves as an vital right to make life function naturally.4 

WHAT REMEADY DOES THE LAW PROFFER? 

The Indian parliament was well cognisant of the quantum of atrocities faced by women. Hence, in order to put the kibosh on domestic violence, the protection of women from Domestic Violence Act 2005 was created. This act has the women and their concern in its fulcrum. Prior to the formulation of this exemplary piece of legislation, women had to approach the courts under IPC (498-A) which did not even make a mention of “domestic violence”. Further, the women had to leave the matrimonial place in fear of what might transpire out of retaliation by the husband. By the virtue of section 17 and section 19 of this act, women can continue to stay in the matrimonial house and file a complaint against the preparators, thus vanquishing the fear that the rural women had that where will they sojourn till any significant decision is taken. Fear of being homeless after filing the complaint against the husband was one of the driving forces of women not complaining the offence against the husband especially in rural areas.  Moreover, if the women decide on discontinuing to stay in her matrimonial home, then by the virtue of  section 6, the protection officer or a service provider (NGO) may request the person in charge of any shelter home and that person in charge is under an obligation to provide shelter to such aggrieved woman. The magistrate, after hearing both the parties, if comes to a conclusion that the domestic violence has taken place or is likely to take place, then he may pass orders of protection by the virtue of section 18.  

In the case of Sabita Mark Burges vs Mark Lionel Burges,5 the Bombay High Court ruled that the court may, if it deems fir, may pass orders directing the respondent from a shared household or the lone ownership  of a man, a man has no right to inflict violence on the violence he lives with and if such a misadventure occurs, he may be stalled form entering the premises to secure the person of the wife and children. However, an exception of this rule is found when the respondent is a female. 

Furthermore, unlike IPC which is oblivious of domestic violence, the DV ACT adduces an all-encompassing and exhaustive definition of the term under section 3. The definition is not limited to merely physical injury, but also sweepingly takes into account the emotional, economic, mental, verbal and sexual abuse. An important judgement comes of Gujrat HC which provided new dimensions to the definition of “domestic violence”, in Bhartiben Bipinbhai Tamboli vs State of Gujarat & others6 on 20 September, 2016. 

In the case of Smt. Haimanti Mal vs, The State of West Bengal7 on 09.07.2019. Calcutta High Court granted Rs.1,00,000/- as compensation to the wife for psychological anguish that she had gone through owing to the behaviour of the husband.  

Section 2(f) of the act defines domestic relationship. Domestic relationship relates to the relationship between two persons in which they stay in a shared household together, by the virtue of relation by marriage, blood, relation which is of similar nature to marriage, adoption or a joint family, thus the act includes but is not limited to the married woman, it also takes  into its shade the mother, sister, daughter live-in relationship etc. In the case of Sadhana V. Hemant8, Bombay High Court held that if at the time of filing of petition, the wife has already been divorced, there cannot exist any domestic relationship and, divorced wife cannot be entitled for protection under Domestic Violence Act. 

In the case of D. Veluswamy V. D. Patchaiammal9, the court recognised the status of women in live in relationships under the definition of “aggrieved person”. However, in the same case 5 key ingredients were laid down: 

  • Their demeanour must be such that they seem to be husband and wife and they must be recognized as husband and wife in the society. 
  • Both must be of valid and legal age of marriage. 
  • They must meet the qualification of entering into a matrimonial relationship. 
  • They must have cohabitated with consent for a significant time duration. 
  • They must live together in a shared household. 

Shared household has been more elaborately and unambiguously defined in the judgement of S.R. Batra And Anr vs Smt. Taruna Batra10, authored by M Katju, wife would be entitled to the possession of only a share household, a shared household, interpreted in the light of section 2(s) cannot be a property belonging to mother-in-law or father-in-law. it must be a property that the husband owns or has taken on rent of belongs to aa joint family of which the husband is a member. 

OBLIGATIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT 

Under section 8 of the herein mentioned act, the government must appoint a protection officer in each district. The number of such officers may vary in accordance with the need. Also, such an officer, preferably must be a woman 

Section 11 lays down the duties of the government. It speaks that the central and the state governments are duty bound to publicise the sections of this act in media through various conduits like T.V. radio, newspaper etc. at regular intervals in order to ensure that no woman stays oblivious to her rights. The central and state government officers must be given public sensitisation and awareness training. 

CONCLUSION 

To summarize, every citizen of our nation is equal as per the Indian Constitution, but unfortunately women and children are ill-treated. While the legislation has worked immensely well for the protection of women, extant poor implementation is still an issue. The protection officer is usually a part time officer or an incompetent officer who fails to do justice to the job. There is no provision in favour of male child. The legislation is highly women centric and is often exploited by cunning women, hence is often construed against the tenants of article 14. Providing such a superfluous definition of domestic violence can be used against men often times to persecute them. It also perceives that only women can be subject to domestic violence and turns a nelsons eye to the cases in which the men are aggrieved. 

HRD strategy and Industrial relation

HRD strategy

Attracting and keeping talented and skilled employees is one of the most important challenges organisations face in today’s dynamic business world. No strategy, no matter how well designed, will work unless the organisation has the right people, with the right skills and behaviour, in the right roles, motivated in the right way and supported by the right leaders.

A strategy is the long-term planning that is developed and implemented by top management. These plans are used to seize opportunities and allocate resources. It includes plans to create new products, to acquire other companies, to sell unprofitable aspects of the business, to make shares available, and to enter international markets. A strategy is the long-term planning that is developed and implemented by top management. These plans are used to seize opportunities and allocate resources. It includes plans to create new products, to acquire other companies, to sell unprofitable aspects of the business, to make shares available, and to enter international markets.

Strategic human resource development has multiple benefits, including:

  • Increasing extrinsic and intrinsic job satisfaction
  • Boosted customer satisfaction
  • Effective and efficient use of resources
  • Development of a working environment
  • Making human resource development activities proactive and impactful
  • Equipping human resources to apply theoretical knowledge practically
  • Increasing productivity

Develop effective strategy:

Step:1 know your company inside and outside : Before crafting your strategy, know your organization thoroughly. Understand the organization’s goals, current positions, current workforce, and workforce strengths. Ask yourself: “Can your organization’s internal capabilities deliver on its business goals?” To understand the organizational hierarchy and structure, talk to your employees and find out if they are motivated and/or if they have challenges.

Step:2 Craft your HR strategy: Once you have identified potential threats and opportunities, it is time to develop a strategy. The strategy should be simple, yet include all aspects of human resources development. It should also be communicated to individuals from other departments who must be involved in implementing the strategy.

Step:3 Resource analysis: Implementation of most HR strategies require a considerate amount of resources. It is important that you evaluate the company’s current and required monetary and logistic resources. Match the two and check for deviations. If there is a lack of resources, analyze ways to obtain funding.

Step:4 Implementation: Having the resources and having a perfect strategy would not be worth it if action is not taken. Implementation is the most important part of a developing a human resources strategy. Putting your plans into action and seeing the process through to completion is essential.

Step:5 Follow up: Once you start putting your strategy into action, keep track of the progress. Check for changes to be made along the way. Once you notice any change in performance, or deviation from the plan, identify the root cause of the issue and ensure it gets correctly in a timely fashion.

step:6 Corrective action: Identifying the cause is not enough; you need to take corrective action. Create a backup plan to ensure that performance results are back on track with the original strategy. In some cases, a modified strategy may be necessary to reach the desired goal.

Barriers:

  • Interdepartmenal conflict
  • Limited time, money and the resources
  • High resistance due to lack of corporation of bottom line
  • The commitment of entire senior management teams
  • Fear towards victimization in the wake of failure.
  • Economic and market pressures influenced the adoption of strategic HRM
  • Presence of an active labour union.

Industrial relation

According to “International Labour Organization (ILO)” Industrial Relations deal with either the relationship between the state and employers and workers organizations or the relation between the occupational organizations themselves”. Industrial relations refers to the relationship that exists between the employer and employees in the day-to-day working of an organization.

Industrial relations has become one of the most delicate and complex problems of modern industrial society. Industrial progress is impossible without cooperation of labors and harmonious relationships. Therefore, it is in the interest of all to create and maintain good relations between employees (labor) and employers (management).

Actors in the IR System

Employers: Employers possess certain rights with regard to labors. They have the right to hire and fire them. Management can also affect workers’ interests by exercising their right to relocate, close or merge the factory or to introduce technological changes.

Employees: Workers seek to improve the terms and conditions of their employment. They exchange views with management and voice their grievances. They also want to share decision making powers of management. Workers generally unite to form unions against the management and get support from these unions.

Government: The central and state government influences and regulates industrial relations through laws, rules, agreements, awards of court and the like. It also includes third parties and labor courts.

Objectives of IR

  • Raise productivity in the organisation to curb the employee turnover and absenteeism.
  • Avoid unnecessary interference of the government, as far as possible and practicable, in the matters of relationship between workers and management.
  • Establish industrial democracy based on labour partnership in the sharing of profits and of managerial decisions.
  • Socialise industrial activity by involving the government participation as an employer.
  • Establish and foster sound relationship between workers and management by safeguarding their interests.
  • Avoid industrial conflicts and strikes by developing mutuality among the interests of concerned parties.
  • Keep, as far as possible, strikes, lockouts and gheraos at bay by enhancing the economic status of workers.

Importance of IR

Reduction in Industrial Disputes: Good industrial relations reduce the industrial disputes. Disputes are reflections of the failure of basic human urges or motivations to secure adequate satisfaction or expression which are fully cured by good industrial relations. Strikes, lockouts, go-slow tactics, gherao and grievances are some of the reflections of industrial unrest which do not spring up in an atmosphere of industrial peace. It helps to promote co-operation and increasing production.

Promote Industrial Democracy: Industrial democracy means the government mandated worker participation at various levels of the organisation with regard to decisions that affect workers. It is mainly the joint consultations, which prepare the way for industrial democracy and cement relationship between workers and management.

Scope :

▪︎Employee-Employer relations : The relationship that pertains between the business owner and the employees of a particular company is known as the employer-employee relationship. To maintain sound relations, the employer must treat the employees fairly and should value their efforts.

Also adopting the various human resource strategies like employee relations program, performance-based promotions and even making the productive employees the stakeholders of the company.

▪︎Group relation: The interactions and communication between the workers belonging to different workgroups are studied under group relations.

▪︎Labour relations: In an organization, the relationship shared by the managers and the workers is termed as labour relations. It includes their behaviour, thoughts, actions and perception against each other.

▪︎Public relations : It is also termed as community relations. The interaction and relationship of the organization (i.e., its owner, management and employees) with the society or external bodies is termed as public relations. For long-term existence in the business, every organization needs to maintain cordial public ties.

Factors affecting of IR

Industrial Relations deal with human behaviour and management of personnel in an organizational setup. The various factors that influence the relationship between the administration and the employees in an organization are as follows:

Individual Behavior: Every person has a different perception, background, skills, knowledge, experience and achievements which influences an individual’s behaviour. The employees, therefore, behave differently in different situations, thus impacting the work environment in the organization.

Organisational structure : The hierarchical structure creates more formal relationships among the employees belonging to different hierarchical levels in an organization. Also, the delegation and execution of decision-making power by the superior influences the industrial relations between the managers and the employees.

Psychological factors: An employee’s attitude and mentality towards the employer and the given task; and the employer’s psychology towards the workers can be positive or negative, which ultimately impacts the employee-employer relationship.

Leadership style: Every manager possesses certain leadership traits and different style to function even in a formal organization. Through his/her formal or informal ways of generating team spirit and motivating the employees, he/she impacts the organization’s industrial relations.

Economic and technical environment: To cope up with the changes in the economic conditions or technology, organizations need to restructure the task of the employees including their work duration, conditions and wages; which leads to a difference in their behaviour, attitude, adapting spirit, etc. towards the organization and its people.

Legal and political environment: The legal framework and political circumstances influence the organization and its industrial relations. It contributes to the framing of rules, rights, authority, powers, roles and responsibilities of all the parties of the organization.

IR update

The Industrial Relations Code, 2019 was introduced in Lok Sabha by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Mr. Santosh Kumar Gangwar, on November 28, 2019. It seeks to replace three labour laws: (i) the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, (ii) the Trade Unions Act, 1926, and (iii) the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946.

When Peta’s Credibility Questioned | Time to be a Wise Donar

PETA India, over the years, has earned itself the reputation of being a hypocrite of the highest order. They have been known to selectively target Hindu traditions and customs with religious zeal while giving other religions a free pass. The few occasions PETA India did manage to raise their voice, they quickly silenced themselves due to rousing opposition.

Recently PETA was questioned for its campaign of go-leather-free during the festival of Rakshabandhan. Suspicion was raised when there ad banner had referrings to Rakshabandhan and on the same banner they had mentioned in bold ‘go leather free’. Now the fact is during Rakshabandhan festival everything has to be purely Sanatan (Broader name of Hinduism) that is purely vegetarian. Anything made of leather would actually break the rituals of Praying.


But now, it appears PETA India has found another target. And it is columnist Shefali Vaidya. The NGO in cohorts with Congress and left-liberal trolls has embarked upon a concerted campaign against the columnist for calling out the hypocrisy of the supposed animal rights organisation with regards to Eid where animals are slaughtered and anti-cow leather campaign in times of Rakshabandhan.
However, the campaign against Shefali Vaidya has backfired on them terribly as netizens used the opportunity to expose their hypocrisy. It soon became evident that PETA India is more concerned about the criticism it faces on social media than actual physical attacks on its workers by Islamist mobs.
One social media user pointed out the time when PETA activists were assaulted by a Muslim mob in Bhopal in 2014 for campaigning for vegetarianism ahead of Bakr-Eid. The Police even registered a case under section 295A against three activists for allegedly outraging the religious sentiments of the Muslim community. For some reason, PETA India has been horribly quiet about the incident for some unknown reasons.
Others pointed out that three years after Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor was awarded the title of PETA India’s ‘hottest vegetarian celebrity’, the daughter of Bollywood star Anil Kapoor had taken to consuming chicken and fish.
People also pointed out that less than a week after PETA India gifted Shilpa Shetty Kundra the ‘Hero to Animals’ award, the Bollywood actress could be seen on YouTube preparing a Roast Turkey recipe.
Then there was the case of Richa Chadha who PETA India heaped praises on for being ‘kind to animals’ but the actress was one of those individuals who was resolutely against the ‘beef ban’.
The most disingenuous sign of hypocrisy came from PETA India’s endorsement of Sonam Kapoor. While the Bollywood actress was awarded by the supposed animal’s rights organisation, she endorses products made of 100% animal skin.
Similarly, PETA conferred a ‘Hero to Animals’ award on actress Dia Mirza, who had earlier shared ‘Kachi Yakhni Ki Biryani’ recipe that is made of chicken or any other animal meat.
Why does PETA kill cats and dogs by the thousands instead of finding them homes? Simply, PETA does not believe in pet ownership. Ingrid Newkirk has called pet ownership “an abysmal situation.” She further elaborated on her goal for destroying the human-pet bond: “If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship, they should seek it with their own kind.”
“In the end, I think it would be lovely if we stopped this whole notion of pets altogether,” she has said.
Ridiculously, PETA has argued that outdoor cats should be summarily killed instead of allowed to live. In a 2014 interview with the Washington Post, Newkirk argued that outdoor cats would be better off dead because they might contract a future illness or be hit by a car in the future. In PETA’s twisted mind, it’s more humane to just euthanize the animals than for a hypothetical harm to befall them in the future. Similarly, PETA has also argued in court that elephants are better off being killed than living in American zoos where they are well cared for.
PETA’s pro-killing attitude is part of its core—and it should shock any animal lover.

Let it out

If you want so say something to someone then don’t wait for some other time. You never know what happens next. Don’t wait for the most moment. Make the moment perfect. You have to create the moment. Say it when you feel it because you never get the same feeling again.

Believe yourself because no one knows you better than you. Your conscience can say what you need and it does what it wants. You can’t stop it because inner you wants it even though some part of you don’t want it. You never know the importance of the moment during the moment. Speak of amd talk what ever you wanna talk. If you try to hide what you want to speak then that gut feeling will not allow you to speak freely and that hesitation hurts you even more. If you keep on hiding the feel you want to speak then it keeps on hurting you even worse. Let it out by speaking because it makes you free of everything.

Be brave enough to admit the fact or to deny the fact. You never know the presence of something when you have it. Speak and sort out the things you feel pain inside. It’s you who gonna hurt yourself by thinking of killing some one in your mind.

WHY THE GOVER NMENT WANTS YOYOU TO STOP WEARING N95 MASK

In today’s World, face masks have become an important part of our lives. Even though they cause immense discomfort, it has become A safety necessity. This necessity has led to several types of face Masks being available in the market- You get cheap face masks being made of fabric, you get fancy ones with valves in it And you even get funny ones with Smiley images printed on them. , And recently, the indian health ministry has Issued a warning that highlights what you should and should not do with your mask and one of the Is to stop sailing face masks with respirator As they might not be COVID-19 safe As we thought they might be. Rajiv Garg, DGHS, In a letter to all the states and union territories, States, “It is to bring to knowledge that the use of Respirator N95 masks Are detrimental to the For preventing the spread of As it does not prevent the virus from escaping out of the mask.”
“In view of the above I request you to instruct all concerned to follow the use of face/mouth cover and prevent inappropriate use of N95 masks”,he added.
As highlighted by TOI, the problem with N95 mask is the valve that comes fitted with them. N95 masks are essentially a type of PPE that is designed for health care workers as well as for workers at the construction site. The mask is made of material that filters air which is coming in. Most of these masks are fitted with a valve at front that enables better ventilation so it doesn’t feel exhausting to breathe . However, most masks that are circulating in the market only have a one-way valve. Which means, while it does filter the air coming from the outside, it isn’t preventing your breath, from staying in. The valve is acting like an unfiltered outlet to spread outside. The safest, which has been suggested by health ministry is home made masks – washing it in boiling water with salt for five minutes and drying it properly before use.

PERIODS

A menstrual period is vaginal bleeding that occurs at the end of the menstrual cycle. Each month, the female body prepares itself for a possible pregnancy.

The uterus developes a thicker lining and the ovaries release an egg that can be fertilised by sperm. If the egg isn’t fertilised, pregnancy won’t occur during that cycle. The result is a period or menstruation.

The average female will have their 1st period between ages of 11 and 14. Periods will continue regularly that is usually monthly until menopause,or about age 51.

Indoor sports for lockdown:

When we all restock at home without anything to do due to lockdown. So do not depression and monotony get the best of us. So instead of making ourselves sulk in the misery of the present circumstance, in periods of tension, we should do a lot to remain involved and comfortable at home.

Most of us are also concerned about skipping our training hours, fitness lessons, etc. and while it can seem counterintuitive, there are tons of fitness and events that can be carried out indoors. The easiest thing to do right now is to keep ourselves occupied and involved in order to remain optimistic and at the same time look after our bodies.Although it’s natural to start watching binge shows or stay stuck to your screen at moments like these, we highly suggest that you walk around a bit more, play a couple games, and you’re likely to feel much healthier both physically and mentally.

Carrom:

About all of us have carrome boards since adolescence, so now they’re sitting around gathering dust, so if not, it may be a perfect idea to invest in one. The biggest appeal and benefit to carrome is that it offers you a perfect opportunity to invest quality time. As you’re getting to enjoy a lot of fun playing sports, you ‘re still working on your social and concentration abilities at the same fun.

Cards:

Throughout the mobile age, it’s very challenging to communicate to young generations of the value of playing cards with the kids. Card game was our primary form of fun previous to the mobile period, but has now come a long way. This lets us develop our brains, enhances our thinking abilities, creates confidence, and reinforces the family link.

Darts:

Playing darts is a enjoyable and sociable activity. It needs outstanding hand-eye coordination and fast thought. It offers us a exciting task of meeting our target and winning. So for this we need a deep attention and also enhances our sense of concentrating. It also strengthens our mental endurance as it involves a lot of counting and thought. It enhances our hand-eye coordination as well as our paling.

Chess:

Chess is an extremely advantageous past time as playing chess results in increased brain performance, enhanced memory and cognitive skills, analytical reasoning, and improved focus.In reality, today’s teachers and parents have found that chess is a perfect opportunity to teach small children abstract principles and valuable thought habits that they will utilize their whole life. Patience is one of the most beneficial qualities that chess teaches children as they learn to calm down and take their time to experience a whole new universe.

Table Tenis:

But table tennis is essentially an indoor activity, so you don’t actually require a table tennis court. Transform every table (including your dining table) in a table tennis table with the aid of a roller net that is connected to every table or much better if you don’t have a partner, play wall table tennis by hitting the wall back and forth with the support of a wall.Table tennis also provides a strong transition of specific skills to other sports such as hand eye coordination, body alignment in room, rapid time answer, etc., which can provide an edge while playing certain sports such as basketball, tennis baseball, etc.

Need of afforestation

Afforestationrefers to the process of converting a non-forest land into a forest. Afforestation is highly important to maintain the biodiversity.

India is an emerging or developing country whereas the controlling of Carbon emission is very much challenging for the policy makers. The main reason is that India needs much more versatile industries to create jobs for unemployment youths which can directly increase the per capita income and the overall GDP (Gross Domestic Product).

Large industries and power plants need a large area to set up its facilities. In India, deforestation has happened in the past for creating Infrastructure (National Highways, Airports, etc.), Industries (Steel, Power, Fast Moving Consumer Goods – FMCG, Engineering, etc.), Mining (Coal, Minerals, Metals, etc.), Oil and Gas exploration, Thermal Power plants, etc.

Hence, Afforestation is necessary to combat the issues of global warming, soil erosion, pollution, and the maintenance of biodiversity and ecological balances. There are two ways, i.e. afforestation and reforestation, the development of new forest on a non-forest land is called afforestation, but reforestation means the reestablishment of the forest cover by either naturally or artificially (manual planting of trees).Trees useswater and carbon-dioxide (CO2) to convert it intoorganic matter (wood) and oxygen. Thus, trees acts as the natural air-purifiers and helps relieve the environment. Considering the need of afforestation in India, many government, private and NGOs are engaged to create new forests through afforestation method to purify theenvironment, maximize the carbon capture, and control the soil erosion.

The total forest area was 40.48 million hectare in 1950 and then it was increased to 67.47 million hectare forest area in 1980. And finally 69 million hectare area was under forest had been reported in 2006. So massive 70.5% increase of area undercover forests had been seen between the periodsof 1950 to 2006 due to afforestation.In India, 23% of overall land is under forest areas which are grouped into 5 major categories i.e.
1.Subtropical Dry Deciduous (38.2%)
2.Tropical Moist Deciduous (30.3%)
3.Subtropical Thorn (6.7%)
4.Tropical Wet Evergreen forests (5.8%)
5.Other categories (Pine, Temperate and Alpine, Tropical semi evergreen) – 17.5%

A large number of trees are planted during the afforestation process. On one hand, it helps the environment by reducing the CO2 level. On the other hand, the fruit bearing trees becomes the source of food for a large country like India.
