Abstract

Joint Forest Planning and Management Programme was introduced in the state of Karnataka in the year 1993. A product of the National Forest Policy of 1988, JFPM was an effort in the direction of involving local communities in the management of forest resources. This programme marked a clear shift in the approach to forest conservation and brought forest dependent communities and the KFD on a common platform to plan and execute sustainable forest management strategies. The programme which became operational with the establishment of Village Forest Committees also gave people the opportunity to augment both individual and community assets by creating the space for sharing the proceeds of the sale of Forest produce from JFPM plantations and also collection of Minor Forest Produce from the neighbourhood forest. This paper seeks to examine the strengths and gaps of the JFPM, mainly as a development praxis. It may be recalled here that Joida was the first taluk in Karnataka where the JFPM programme was introduced.
