Grievance Description:
National Biodiversity Authority be asked to take up the matter with the Cantonment
Boards, handled all 62 Cantonments to introduce Biodiversity Management Committees
along with the Peoples Biodiversity Registers as In terms of Entry 3 of Union List
(Schedule VII) of the Constitution of India, Urban Self Governance of the Cantonments
and the Housing Accommodation therein is the subject matter of the Union of India. There
are 62 Cantonments in the country which have been notified under the Cantonments Act,
1924 (succeeded by the Cantonments Act, 2006). The overall municipal administration of
the notified Cantonments is the function of the Cantonment Boards which are democratic
bodies. The Station Commander of the Cantonment is the ex-officio President of the Board
and an officer of the IDES or Defence Estates Organisation is the Chief Executive Officer
who is also the Member-Secretary of the Board. The Board has equal representation of the
elected and nominated / ex-officio members to balance the official representation with the
democratic composition. This unique structure of Cantonment Boards is being maintained
successfully keeping in view the fact that the Cantonment areas were and are primarily
meant to accommodate the military population and their installations. Cantonments are
different from the Military Stations in that the Military Stations are purely meant for the
use and accommodation of the armed forces and these are established under an executive
order whereas the Cantonments are areas which comprise of both military and civil
population. There are four categories of Cantonments which depend on the size of
population residing inside a Cantonment. The Cantonments, despite having financial and
land constraints especially towards their permissible use for residential and commercial
activities, today represent the green areas which strive to maintain ecological balance while
at the same time providing better civic facilities to the residents. DGDE is an Inter Services
Organisation of the Ministry of Defense which directly controls the Cantonment
Administration. Some of the functions performed by DGDE towards the Cantonment
Administration are as follows: Functions and duties of Cantonments Division - 1. Policy
making in respect of various facets of Cantonment administration. 2. Advising Ministry of
Defense on matters relating to Cantonments. 3. Preparing and submitting Annual
Administration Report of all Cantonments to the Parliament. 4. Enactment of Rules,
Regulations and Bye-laws. 5. Election and variation of Cantonment Boards. 6. Monitoring,
inspecting and guiding the Boards on various functional parameters. 7. Assessment of the
need for grants to Cantonments and allotment of Ordinary and Special Grants-in aid to
Cantonment Boards. 8. Assessing and allotting Service Charges to all Cantonment Boards.
9. Processing of taxation proposals. 10. Classification of posts, supervisory, non-supervisory
posts, industrial disputes etc. 11. Issues relating to the welfare of Cantonment Board staff-

me to move complaint for Mandatory Injections before concerned Civil Court for
appropriate orders, advance copies are being supplied to all concerned to safe guard the
flora & fauna, to perform our fundamental duties towards biodiversity - Nature.
