If you’re looking to plant Sagwan (Teak) in Chandauli (Uttar Pradesh), here are some key points and suggestions to help you plan:
—
## ✅ Why Sagwan (Teak) is a good choice
* The species is known for durable hardwood with high commercial value (furniture, construction etc.). ([jagdevgroup.in][1])
* It’s suitable for plantation projects and has been included in afforestation drives. ([Early Warning System][2])
* For best growth: deep, well‑drained & fertile soil, full sunlight, monsoon or early planting season. ([jagdevgroup.in][1])

## 🛠 What to plan/consider for Chandauli
* Choose location: Ensure the soil is deep, fertile, well‑drained. Avoid water stagnation. (From general guidelines) ([jagdevgroup.in][1])
* Pit preparation: Often pits of approx 45cm × 45cm × 45cm are used for planting stumps.
* Spacing: Typical spacing might be 2m × 2m, or 3m × 3m depending on site & whether you inter‑crop. ([jagdevgroup.in][1])
* Maintenance: Weeding in early years, irrigation during dry spells, pest control as necessary. ([jagdevgroup.in][1])
* Survival & follow‑up: Note in afforestation drives, even well‑planned plantations suffer from survival issues if maintenance is weak. For instance, in Chandauli district the annual plantation target is large but “about 50 % of planted trees die due to weak upkeep”. ([Chandauli][3])

## 📍 Where in Chandauli / what to contact
* I did *not* find a specialised “Sagwan plantation service” listed clearly in Chandauli.
* However, district‑level drives are active: for example, the local administration in the Shahabganj (Chakia) area in Chandauli is preparing to plant many saplings under government programs. ([Bhaskar][4])
* You could contact the local **Forest Department of Chandauli**, or the **District Nursery / Plant‑propagation unit** (if any) for sourcing good quality Sagwan saplings and advice.

If you like, I can check **nurseries in Chandauli and nearby (Varanasi, Mirzapur, etc.)** that supply Sagwan saplings (with pricing and availability) and send a list—would you like me to do that?
