Mr. Chaudhary further explained: "In this regard, the local people will be involved in the whole round of the project cycle level. Local Working Committee will be formed for implementing the project and as per needed; different level of committees will be also formed. What is conservation, if not for people? In this regard, we always put our efforts of conservation with human face."
