Transformation of Agricultural land and Forest

Kindly share my observation if you can spare some of your valuable time:
At the time of calculating Agricultural produce, we must calculate the Agricultural loss also due to transformation of fertile agricultural land into the concrete jungle of Educational hubs, Commercial complexes and Industrial units. This phenomenon may be seen throughout the country. The main reason is that these agricultural lands have good infrastructure of roads and the land owner are getting attractive price of their land and / or becoming partner of the businessmen in this trade. (This transformation of agricultural land into Educational hubs is not counter balancing in the form of producing Skilled Human Resource as most of them are not giving Quality Education)
On the other hand the scene is different. In the forest area the deforestation is on peak throughout the country which has affected the production of forest products. However agricultural land is increasing in such areas. In the Chambal Ghati the forest on the BIHADS (Hills of mud) are being cut and the BIHADS are being done plane gradually for the use of agricultural production.
In many other parts of the Madhya Pradesh, the scene is more or less same. The trees of CHIRONGI are being invisible. The trees of MAHUAS, SHARIFA (SITAFAL-custard fruit) ,and other tress on which the wild life(birds and animals) was dependent have been cut and they are not getting food and shelter as the migrated people mostly, have done encroachment and made their own huts and the rich have made their resorts. They have done SIKAR of the poor and helpless wild animals. The elite class of the village call SIKARI-Bahelias and give shelter to them and permit to do SIKAR and exchange of it they get benefit out of it. Poor /poor tribal are cutting wood to sell for money as their land gone to others due to one reason or the other. It is another story, you will find KALARY(wine shop)in every village of MP.  I reported about some places to the forest Department of Jabalpur region personally to stop encroachment but they did not bother. We can understand the reason of vested interest of Babus-Businessmen, Politicians and now Aam Admi also.


The solution is to compress South pole (by ELECTORAL REFORM)) and North pole( by REFORMS IN EDUCATION INDUSTRY) of our corruption sphere i.e. to implement efficiently one after the other. However it is not easy. For this we need leaders of creative leaders of the caliber of freedom fighter.

Kindly,do survey of the villages (eg. from Indrana to Katav Ghat and up to Amoda of Majholi Tahseel, Dist. Jabalpur,Amargarh,Imligarg,Sindursi of Bahurivan Tahseel, Dist. Katni,MP. The encroachment and migration in the forest of this region has destroyed the forest, its beauty and so wild life, and brick Bhatti in Indrana are in progress eating trees as fuel. This is one example. No one is bothering as our system has become like that. What else one can expect in Mafia Raj.I discussed in details with Dr. P.Jalil( Forest Conservation and Research Institute, Badsha Halwai,Jabalpur)he might also be  helpless as the things may not be in his hands.
You may laugh that some social worker plant trees in the streets of Majholi Tahseel but cutting of trees in the forest is not stopped.
In this tribal area of Katav Ghat, only 5% STs are residing and rest of the population migrated time to time after partition. Among these 5% of STs only 2% are original residents and the 3% of STs have also migrated from other tribal areas due to one reason or the other. The agricultural land is mostly in the hand of rich OBCs(viz.Patel,Sahu etc.) and minority community(Musslims in Murkuru village) and some extent in the name of SCs.
