Women Self-Help Groups, Mahila Mangal Dals, and local women’s groups will be registered at the Divisional Forest Rights Office. Women farmers will be provided with a copy of the nursery manual and technical guidance for developing the nursery.

For registration, the following documents are required: Khatauni of the proposed nursery site, proposal of the women’s group meeting, mobile number, Aadhaar card, and bank passbook.

Once the saplings in the nursery are ready, the Forest Department purchases them species-wise from the group as per the agreement between the Self-Help Group and the Forest Department.

After the group purchases the necessary materials for establishing the nursery, the Department releases the grant in installments into the account of the Self-Help Group.
