The main locations where evergreen forests can be found in India are areas that receive high amounts of rainfall, including the Western Ghats, northeastern states (such as Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh), and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The dense plant life in these forests stays green all year thanks to the steady moisture.

Consolidation of holdings in hilly areas of Uttarakhand faces several challenges:

Fragmented Land: The land is highly fragmented due to the natural terrain, making consolidation difficult and inefficient.

Geographical limitations: The presence of steep slopes and uneven terrain decreases the amount of appropriate land for agriculture, making it challenging to consolidate land.

Ownership Disputes: Multiple land ownership disputes arise due to inherited lands, which delay or prevent consolidation.

Inadequate infrastructure: Restricted road and irrigation system availability decrease agricultural productivity, reducing the advantages of consolidation.

Migration at high levels from the hills to urban areas leads to the desertion of rural lands, which complicates the process of organizing or combining properties.

Environmental issues: Development in mountainous regions could result in the loss of trees and soil erosion, impacting the nearby ecosystem.
