The scheme makes judicious use of all available methods for better protection and conservation of forest resources of the country. These methods include management of forest fires, maintenance of fire lines, purchase of firefighting equipment, demarcation of forest boundaries, enumeration of trees, improving communication through wireless equipments and creation of awareness among the local masses. These methods also include control of forest fires, creation of fire lines and fire watch towers and fire mapping.

How this was judged a scheme rather than a budget head
A state budget book lists colleges, directorates and building heads beside schemes.
This row scored 3 on published signals: the provision is establishment money, not works; the Centre shares the cost; the state files it as a shared scheme.
It does NOT clear the higher bar this register uses before saying a scheme is hidden from citizens, so it is listed here and not named there. Listing a budget head as a scheme is an annoyance; naming one as hidden would be a false accusation, and the two are not the same claim.
