Book excerpt: This book will give immense information on joint forest management system of Assam with special reference to Dhubry district, besides other important information of North East and other parts of the country. The readers can read the problems of forest management at Dhubri district of Assam which is more or less similar to the whole N.E. India and in Many other states of India. A special character of forests of this district that these are Ex-Zamindari forests, it means that the forests were controlled and managed by the Zamindars in past. Reserve Forests of the district are not similar with other of the state. Revenue villagers are embroidered within the Reserve Forests, the details are given inside the book. Motivation of the people towards J.F.M. is not a simple task. Hence, these are discussed widely to remove the difficulties and it has been tried to solve these difficulties easily. J.F.M. is the tool of Rural Development, specially to the people living within and around forests, which is just the opposite idea of past forest management system. This orthodox (British) policy has been criticized in this book and further clarified that the forest is for people and predators are the protectors of forests. Problems of terrorism or insurgency have seriously infected the whole N.E. region presently, where Assam is also one of the sufferers in all aspects. A seperate chapter is included in this book of this problem. Knowledge of Eco-socio system is essential for the J.F.M. workers and hence a rough sketch has been drawn for Dhubri district of Assam on this topic. The past is necessary for future and without studying our ancient forest management it is very difficult to work for future development of our forests. For this reason, some pages have been included in this book which speak of the past forest management of Assam, prior to British period.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has been following the Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) system since 1990 in the form of Joint Forest Management (JFM). The data of Forest Survey of India shows that the regions where the JFM system is implemented has not improved the forest cover whereas there is improvement in forest cover in the regions where no JFM committee exists. This means that there is a failure of the CBFM system in the state. The failure of the Joint Forest Management Committees (JFMCs) is linked to the organizational structure and functioning of these JFMCs. This study points to the array of conflicts between the actors involved in forest conservation activities viz., the JFMCs and Traditional Forest Protection Committees, the Nominees of Forest Department and Local JFMC functionaries, and JFMCs and the Forest Dependent Households. These conflicts explain the reasons for lack of cooperation between the actors and emphasize the need to provide the forest dependent people not a nominal participant role but a more substantive role in defining the purpose and the process of forest conservation.

Download or read book Enabling Environment for Joint Forest Management written by Shree Bhagwan Roy and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Joint Forest Management Programme, epitomising the 1988 national forest policy of the Government of India, set the country free from the shackles of over a century of bureaucratic straglehold. Centralisation of management was envisaged to give way to decentralisation, unilateralism to participatory decision-making and bureaucratisation to institutionalising people's participation in the protection, management and development of forests. But the policy-frame change-over has not been quick and effective. The involvement of the villagers into the programme where they could deliberate and ecide issues concerning their livelihood through the forest management is, by its nature, very delicate and difficult to achieve. Not only has the hard-crusted resistance to be broken down by winning confidence and proper education through information and knowledge, the due recognition tot he villagers' innate ability and wisdom has to be extended so as to make them equal partners in the implementation of the programme.

This book was released on 2011-02-07 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive account of the transformation of Assam's forests and ecology from early nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. It locates present-day ecological conflicts in the colonial era when contest over forest, land, and resource began to take new shape. Arupjyoti Saikia delineates how forest resources in Assam were mapped and intergrated with mechant capitalism since the early nineteenth century. He shows how imperial forestry practices led to changes in traditional resource utilization patterns. The book also examines the political economy of conservation practices. It explores the question of law and conservation, role of institutions and organizations, and the changing role of the forests in imperial economy. The book argues how the making of forest policy in the postcolonial period was defind by the complexities of the political matrix. It discusses plantation, silvicultural practices, protection and regeneration of forests, and livlihood practices. The author also analyses public debates surrounding ecology and environmental changes in conservation practices after the 1980 Act.

Download or read book Incentives for Households in Community Based Forest Management System written by Bipul Kumar Rabha and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the 'National Forest Policy 1988,' on the first June in 1990 (circular No. 6.21/89-FP, Sarin, 1998), the government of India issued guidelines and adopted Community Based Forest Management (CBFM) system in the form of Joint Forest Management (JFM) system for conservation of forests with clearly identified duties and functions for ensuring protection of forests. However, the system has not been fully succeeding. This paper examines the reasons for the failure of CBFM system in Assam. The study finds that the households who actively participate in the forest conservation activity belong to predominantly non-tribal households and also to tribal households who are engaged in non-forest dependent livelihoods. The study also discovers that the Forest Protection Committees in forest areas which have experienced urbanization, commercialization, and diversification of labor into quarrying industry and such other activities take active participation in the forest protection activities. Quite contrary to the expectations the primary evidence in this study establishes that the failure to prevent deforestation is linked to the failure of the CBFM system to evolve appropriate incentive structures for the forest dependent tribal households who are the crucial actors in forest protection. This study finds that instead of expanding the subsistence opportunities for the poor forest dependent tribal households through forest conservation, the CBFM system has caused a decline in the incomes of these households.

Book excerpt: Joint Forest Management (JFM) is now a principal forest management strategy in India. The government views JFM as a pivotal strategy for addressing the national policy goal of achieving 33% forest cover by 2012. JFM represents one model of community based forestry in which the State engages with communities with forestry. Though the current JFM model is weighted in favour of state forest department control over planning, management, investment, harvesting and marketing. This book is an attempt to understand the evolution and introduction of the JFM principles and concepts of JFM. The combine influence of historical, social, economic, cultural and ecological factors along - with policy impacts in people's participation in managing forest is illustrated by taking case of North West Himalayas. Over the past several decades, the focus in forestry has shifted towards forest protection and conservation and JFM represents a key policy thrusts in India. JFM is continued to be evolved as the experiences from different states across India are informing the process of JFM implementation so that policy and guidelines to improve the program are revised by the central and state governments regularly. The process approach is being followed so that forests are managed sustainably with people's involvement in forestry programmes to improve the livelihoods of forest dependent people's and reduced poverty. The studies have demonstrated that the potential economic benefits from improved forest productivity and policy reforms in favour of JFM are huge, both for people and government.
