1.4 FOREST:
Chatra District is well endowed with forest in an area of 22643.99 Sq.km, which is about
60% out of total geographical area.
Forests are an important natural resource for an area. They have a moderating influence
against floods and rain and thus they protect the soil against erosion. They also provide basic
raw material to a number of important industries, namely furniture, match box, paper, rayon
construction, railway slippers, wooden poles, etc. Moreover, the environmental benefits of
the forests are not far to seek.
The most unfortunate part is that the Tribals & local villegers in many areas still depend on
forest as a source of firewood. They don’t have any other option either. The wood smugglers
and Dons still go for illegal felling of trees causing a great loss both to the people of the area
and to the District exchequer simultaneously.
For sake of convenience the forest produce has been classified under two heads :
A. Important large products
B. Minor / Allied products.
The large important products comprise of wood for timber, such as SHISHAM, SAAL,
BARGAD, CHKUNDI, BAMBOO, KUSUM, GAMHAR, MAHUA, JAMUN, IMLI,
AAM,Timber Logs, Khair(KATHA) etc.

B. Minor / Allied Produce:
These constitute an important segment of forest asset and under this category come produces
like HARA, BEHARRA, KENDU PATTA, SALL SEED, KARANJ SEED, Khajur(Palm)and
MAHUA PATTA/SEED etc.
As reported by the office of the DFO, Chatra, there is total ban to cut the forest tree and ban
for cutting the trees by the militant outfit as this provides then to hide out, so the production
of forest product could not be collected.

of natural resources, density of population, their literacy rate, income, standard of living etc.
which generate sufficient demand for products.
