Star Paper Mills is among the 15 largest virgin fibers paper mills in India. It has a good rapport in National and International market and has a long history of more than 70 years (since 1938). The industry is engaged not only in making of different kinds of papers e.g. Virgin fibre paper, cultural papers etc. using wood pulp as raw material from Eucalyptus, Bamboo, Poplar and other fibrous species but also engaged in implementing and promoting agroforestry and social forestry programme on large scale in different districts of Western Uttar Pradesh (India). Under its agroforestry programme around 3 crores seedlings were raised and distributed among the farmers. Star Paper Mills also provides good quality seeds of Eucalyptus and Bamboo, pesticides, micronutrients, manual of guidance etc. free of cost to the farmers for developing Kisan nurseries. 224 nurseries have been developed and 43.7 million seedlings distributed amongst farmers during 2008-2009 in adjoining districts. We have thus contributed to green an area of around 68688 ha. Now our programme envisages raising of 40 million seedlings every year through Kisan Nurseries. Star has also successfully developed infrastructure to develop superior clones of Eucalyptus and Poplar of high yield and their propagation technology on commercial scale through vegetative means of propagation under standardized mist chamber condition. Around 18 lac clonal plants of Eucalyptus were supplied to the farmers annually. Clonal plantation which yield double the productivity compared to seedlings in shorter period is proving a boon to the farmers of Western Uttar Pradesh. Programme has been receiving encouraging response from the farmers who mostly raise Eucalyptus and Poplar on the boundaries of their farm land. The programme was initiated since last 6 years back and operating successfully. As regards marketing, the demand of wood based industries e.g. Paper Mills, Ply wood and Board Industries in particular is increasing rapidly and the production of wood is not able to cop-up with the growing demand of wood as wood is the prime raw material of such industries for the making of different wood based products. For this the farmers of Western Uttar Pradesh are consequently benefited from competition among various industries for raw material. Marketing is not a problem for the farmers to sale their crop at the time of harvesting. Farmers are however confronting with many problems like No system for proper evaluation of their crop and they are completely in the hands of middle man. They are also facing under estimated price of their crop due to different levies laws e.g. Transit fee and Mandi fee. In addition to payment, farmers have to face hardship in procuring the passes from these departments. Beside this there is an apprehension of invasion of any disease in epidemic from like Gall. There is considerable damage in South India by this Wasp. We should take remedial and preventive measures. Now the research work is fully focused on to find out certain preventive and remedial measures to over come this problem.
