Identifier

AR-011-0003

Description

The Vidi register, maintained by the owners of private grasslands and forest estates (Vidis), is currently held by Chhatrajeet Singh, who has managed the estate since the 1970s. It records payments to staff, including watchmen monitoring illegal lopping, grazing, and hunting, along with appointment and expenditure details for estate maintenance. The register also notes land leased to Maldharis for grazing and the profits earned, offering crucial insights into past grassland management in Saurashtra and the shifts shaping the contemporary landscape.
