An evaluation committee consisting of Girish Vashishstha, retd DFO, Mandar Pingle from Satpuda Foundation and Vijay Suryavanshi, Range Forest Officer, Special Tiger Protection force (STPF) will assess the performance of the villages wtih verifying fortnight reports from all the villages. They can score points on formation/performance of local youths team in fire prevention and control, farmers not burning fire in their fields, no use of fire in tendu and mahua collection, use of net for mahua collection, avoiding grazing in forest land, developing fodder bank, numbers of meetings of Eco-Development Committees, gram panchayats and using other innovative methods, he added.
