In the lateritic tract of South-West Bengal Sal coppice forests, JFM programme had started in late 1990s and is apparently successful. But the major factor for the continuity of the programme depends on the viability and buoyancy of the institutions i.e. Forest Protection Committees (FPCs) formed for this purpose. In this study attempts were made to assess the income of the FPC members from different sources and resources in Midnapore District of West Bengal, selecting sample FPCs all over the district. How far such income is encouraging to keep them involved in the programme and the ways and means to enhance income have also been indicated and suggested.

Abstract


In the lateritic tract of South-West Bengal Sal coppice forests, JFM programme had started in late 1990s and is apparently successful. But the major factor for the continuity of the programme depends on the viability and buoyancy of the institutions i.e. Forest Protection Committees (FPCs) formed for this purpose. In this study attempts were made to assess the income of the FPC members from different sources and resources in Midnapore District of West Bengal, selecting sample FPCs all over the district. How far such income is encouraging to keep them involved in the programme and the ways and means to enhance income have also been indicated and suggested.
