Originally published in 2004. In a radical breakaway from colonial
and postcolonial policies that were based on centralized and
revenue-orientated control of forests, the government of India
announced the Joint Forest Management (JFM) policy resolution in
1990. JFM promised important managerial concessions, including
share in cash profit from the timber harvest to forest citizens, in
exchange for management of state-owned forests. The government also
asked the Forest Departments to invite village councils and NGOs to
take part in the joint forest management schemes. Over a decade
since its inception this volume examines the JFM, highlighting how
state bureaucracy, local institutions and NGOs attempt to achieve
the multiple goals of meeting subsistence needs, rural equity,
sustainable forestry practices, and forest cover conservation.
Investigating four institutions - village-based forest protection
groups, the Forest Department, village councils, and NGOs - across
the States of Jharkhand and West Bengal, the book focuses on forest
citizens and how they interact with other JFM institutions. In
doing so, it challenges notions of assumed virtues of moral economy
and romanticized views of gender and indigenous knowledge and
practices. The monograph also raises issues of social capital
(local history, politics and leadership), common property resource
(CPR) management and incentives for participation. While pointing
out various inconsistencies that exist in the participatory forest
framework, the book also shows the potential of JFM and suggests
future directions forest management should take in India and
elsewhere.
