Joint forest management (JFM) involves village communities and state forest departments regenerating and conserving forests through contracts specifying shared authority, responsibilities, and benefits. Two early pilot experiments took place in the 1970s in West Bengal and Haryana. JFM projects now operate in Orissa, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka, providing employment and environmental benefits by increasing forest cover and biodiversity protection through community involvement.

2. •Joint Forest Management (JFM) involves
regeneration and conservation of forests
through involvement of village communities
in association with the state forest
departments.
• It involves a contract specifying the
distribution of authority, responsibility and
benefits between villages and State Forest
Departments with respect to land allocated
for Joint Management

3. Two most well known pilot experiments in
early 1970s
 1972-arabari (west Bengal)
 Mid-1970s – Sukhomajri (Haryana)

4. States Where The Joint Forest
Management Project is In Running
 ORISSA
 HIMACHAL PRADESH
 GUJRAT
 UTTAR PRADESH
 KARNATAKA

5. Structural representation of
JFM. Forest management
works between local
authority ,local resident and
various forest
policy(leskhozes).
It is beneficial for two
corresponding states. When
these state apply JFM policy
they both are tie up in a
relationship.
Its is beneficial for states
growths. or “when states
will growth then country
is also growth.” MODI JI
told these words.

6. How do
communities
work with joint
forest
management
system.??

7. Trainings have been provided to officials from
Forest/Agriculture departments
Horticulture Departments
 Village Development Boards/NEPED on various aspects of
JFM such that theoretical background and methods for micro
plan through Participatory Rural Appraisal and various issues

diversity

10. 1.To elicit active participation of
villagers in
(a) creation
(b) management and
(c) protection of plantations;
2.To achieve ecological needs
consonant with sustainable
productivity of wood and
other non-timber forest
resources ;

11. 3. To wean away the land owning communities
from shifting cultivation by adopting
an alternative I. e. Tree Farming ;
4.To productively utilize the degraded jhumland
thereby checking soil erosion;
5.To conserve Biodiversity through people’s
action ;
6.To create and generate forest –based economy
for the villagers .

12. 1. It is first yojana that was organized by
government for joint forest management.
2. Forest Development Agencies have been
registered and detailed project report has been
submitted to the Government for sanction and
release of fund under ‘‘SAMANVIT GRAM
VANIKARAN SAMIRDDHI
YOJANA’’(INTEGRATED VILLAGE
AFFORESTATION AND ECO DEVELOPMENT
SCHEME) under different FDAs .

13. 1. To control removal of forest produce from forests by
making the community responsible for monitoring removals from
the forests;

14. Relationships between Forest
Department and local communities
have improved greatly due to
JFMPs.
Women protect forests better
because they are more concerned
and conscious about forests.
Smaller the village and greater the
homogeneity, greater the success of
JFMPs.
Success of JFMPs also depends upon strong users groups.

15. Potential returns from JFM are large and
available to the entire community.
JFMPs reduce greatly the regeneration costs of
degraded lands.
