Floristic bio-diversity is depleting alarmingly due to anthropogenic activities like encroachment and mining in Saranda. In recent years these activities have reached alarming levels such that many of the species of orchids are on the verge of extinction. An extensive survey and collection of specimens of 20 species of orchids was made in Saranda, West Singhbhum District, Jharkhand during the year 2003-2004. The results are reported in this paper.- Effect of Joint forest Management Practices on Nutrient Status of Soil - a Case Study

An experiment conducted in selected village forests of Ranchi and Hazaribagh districts (both where JFM is practiced and where not practiced), indicates that forest where JFM is practiced has better soil characteristics. Though this experiment is not a perfect one and it has to explain some questions but it has definitely given a hint that JFM has certainly positive effect on soil nutrient status of the forest.- Rationalizing the Forest Law - Judicial Equity

The increasing demand of medicinal plants has resulted in the rapid dwindling of these natural resources and there is a urgent need of systematic and conservation and sustainable production of medicinal plants involving local communities, university students and developmental field groups with stronger linkages for collaborative work to meet future demand on a sustained manner. There are some plants which are a panacea for most human ailments. Their documentation is the need of the hour. Also suitable propagation techniques are to be developed, like tissue culture etc. In light of this, it is essential to havc an interface between traditional trends and modern concept of production, marketing and technology of this important resource. Creating awareness and proper networking on the medicinal properties of these indigenous plants, which we very often encounter in our daily life, through dissemination of research data with extension activities will go a long way in conserving nature's priceless gift.- Occurrence of Emerald or Bronzewinged Dove , Chalcophaps indica (Linn.) in Saranda Forest Division , Jharkhand

This study shows that NWFP play a key role in the life and economy of communities living in and around forest. Nearly 49 items of NWFP were found to sustain people (especially the landless and marginalised groups) during lean season in the form of food, fodder, fibre, household articles, medicinal and ornamental form and supplement their income during other seasons, besides catering to religious and aesthetic needs.- Scientific forestry, has it Yielded Results?

The present study depicts that the satellite remote sensing data can be of great help in quick assessment and real time monitoring of existing natura] resource, like water and forest and it can be effectively used for catchment area evaluation, change pattern in command area etc. The integration of various database through GIS provides insight into verifying the details of Water resources or other projects submitted under the provisions of Forest (Conservation) Act. The present study provides the baseline spatial database for forest manager to quickly asses evaluate and monitor the change in forest resources/Environment under the impact of the dam, any time in future also.- The Journey of a Blind Elephant

Forest based industry and business is not only important for the economic development of the country, it also provides employment to rural people living near or inside the forest. The aim of present study was to identify districts in Orissa having potential for forest based, industrial development, considering vegetation, socioeconomic and infrastructural variables using GIS modeling and analysis. A Cumulative Potential District Index (CPDI) was developed for this purpose and results were obtained for different perspective of development. The results suggest that Deogarh, Gajapati, Rayagada and Sambalpur have a high potential for Forest based Industry Development.Keywords

"Certification of the forest" has always been visualized with the objective that it helps the forest maintain its ecological integrity. Thus in a certified forest every aspect related to sustainability are addressed by having sound management practices, ensuring its ecological integrity etc. which leads to biodiversity conservation, environmental conservation and ultimately sustainable forestry. This paper makes an attempt to assess the efficacy of forest certification as a tool for ensuring these concerns for conservation of biodiversity and environment, in particular.Keywords

The FRA 2006 basically provides for the legal framework for claiming the "forest land" by individual and community and is considered by many groups to be major pro-poor institutional reform in the governance of the forests. It also expects communities to play an important role in sustaining such forest ecosystems by expecting them to do "conservation" activities as a matter of "right" and in theory gives an opportunity not only to secure local communities' right to access forests by conferring them a rights-based framework for conservation and natural resource governance. But there are some incongruity and ambiguities in the FRA which may lead to mass scale privatization of the most useful common property resource i.e. the forest and the consequent threat of ecological losses - with grave economic and social consequences, both for current and future. The paper attempted to highlight the various debatable aspects of the FRA, particularly those related to ensuring the "sustainability" etc.Keywords

Action research on validating the linkages with post offices in the dissemination of farm technology was done. Post offices and their personnel (50) at the district, block and villages levels in Sitapur district, Uttar Pradesh, were contacted. Organizational analysis of Indian Postal Department helped identify the scope for entering into linkages for the Indian Agricultural Research Institute. Seeds of improved varieties were disseminated and different possible dissemination modes were experimented. The trend analysis of post office works showed sharp decline (about 50%) in the mail and delivery of ordinary post. Similarly, the sale of postal stamp and revenue stamp had declined to the same extent. The collaborative activities through tie-ups with other agencies like SBI, ICICI, mutual fund agencies, Oriental Insurance, etc. had increased (15-20%), which provided the opportunity for establishing linkages. Up to summer/zaid 2013, more than 1900 farmers under 18 post offices in five states covering 181 villages have been reached through this innovative technology dissemination model. The major crops included in the programme are wheat, paddy, pigeon pea, bajra, mustard, bottle gourd, pumpkin and okra. The farmer-to-farmer diffusion of improved variety of wheat was found to be 32 times of the total area originally covered by seed quantity disseminated through post offices. The cost sharing and capacity building of farmers and post office personnel were the other innovative interventions to make the linkages more successful. Based on the experiences and lessons learnt, future action plans have been suggested.Keywords
