PMU
The autonomous society, i.e., the PMU is headed by the Chief Project Director (CPD) in the rank of APCCF or above. S/He acts as CEO of the society and will chair the Executive Committee (EC) of the society. S/he is Member-Secretary to Governing Body (GB) of the society as well as to the High Power Committee (HPC) constituted for the project at the state level.

The existing MIS and GIS facility with Forest Department that was supported under the earlier JICA-assisted project (ID-P223) will be further strengthened, and supported.
As a part of the society, PMU has established DMUs and FMUs that works as extended arms of PMU, and supports project implementation and supervision while working along with the departmental functions, and with JFMCs and SHGs as well.
PMU is managing the project funds, extending funds to the implementing units, guiding and supervising project implementation to achieve results within stipulated timeframe adopting the prescribed processes, collate and consolidate the expenditure statements from district and field offices, and prepare Statement of Expeditures (SOEs) for getting reimbursement of claims from JICA.
