This book addresses quantitative assessment of forest governance
and how local-level institutions work in governing efficient ways
of forest resource management so that sustainable development of
forest is ensured. The research is done at the micro-level as well
as macro-level in India. The research presented here focuses on
forest governance and institutions in the two forest divisions of
West Bengal say South Bengal and North Bengal. The research covers
36 villages, 844 households, 10 Gram panchayat, 12 Beat offices,
and 36 Forest protection Committees in West Bengal and also studies
different local-level institutions like local
communities/households; Joint Forest Management Committees
(JFMC)/Forest Protection Committees (FPCs); Community Forest
Management groups; Van Panchayats; Village Councils (schedule VI
area) and Biodiversity Management Committees; Eco-development
committees, NGOs and Self-Help Groups, and Panchayati Raj
Institutions (PRIs). Chapters also address various issues like
monitoring, enforcement, rule of law, transparency, accountability,
participation, control of corruption, government effectiveness,
regulatory quality, and sustainable livelihood in connection with
the study of forest governance. This research is associated with
different sectors like agricultural sector, forestry sector,
informal sectors and rural development, etc., and involved
multi-stakeholders. Particular attention is given on the
policy-oriented research which is the cornerstone of SDG of 16.
