Based on different reports and reviews on government induced microcredit programme operating through Self-help Groups (SHGs) in India, this paper tries to explore as to how the SHG-BANK linkage microcredit programme fails to reach the large number of persons in the target group, although formation of SHGs and development of micro enterprises has become the principal means of poverty alleviation by the Government of India. While presenting a theoretical model, this paper suggests that it is essential to make necessary financial grants to the target group primarily to the amount of expected 'debt trap' it may face in the informal credit market to repay the loans, which they received earlier from mainstream banks, within the due date so long as the projects undertaken by it are productive.- Joint Forest Management Programme: A Beneficial Relationship between State and Community

This empirical study suggests that the economic outcome of Joint Forest Management (JFM) programme has been beneficial for both forest fringe community and government who jointly manage the forest resources. Cooperation yields an outcome preferred by both as they are able to negotiate before execution of all activities. The theoretical model of common property resources suggests that cooperative behaviour of JFM guided by norms of restraint and customs may be stable against invasion by narrowly selfinterested behaviour. The study also indicates that without costly sanctions against poor JFM-households for extracting illegal forest products, JFM appears to be beneficial for all.- Sustainable Rural Livelihoods under Joint Forest Management (JFM) Programme: Some Evidence from West Bengal, India

The objectives of this article are to assess linkages and impact of participatory JFM Programme on Sustainable Rural Livelihoods (SRL) across socioeconomic group of forest fringe communities. The study is based on four sample FPCs – one female FPC and three joint FPCs - in Midnapore and Bankura districts in West Bengal. The results suggest that the JFM Programme under the sample FPCs/villages in West Bengal is participatory. With regard to the SRL framework, strong sustainability criteria meet for very poor and poor households, which live below poverty line and are dependent on forest resource for their livelihood security. The study suggests that force or law cannot effectively control illegal collection of TFPs by the households living below poverty line, until a considerable increase in the collection of legal forest products – NTFPs, fuelwood etc. – and wage income from forest are ensured.- Socio-Economic Issues of Prawn-Seed Collection in an Open Riverain Fishery: A Case Study of Prawn-Seed Collectors in West Bengal
