Andaman & Nicobar Islands is the largest archipelago system consisting of cover 200 islands, over 300 inlets and constitute one of the hotspot of biodiversity. It is separated from mainland India by almost 1,000 km. These are 3,552 plant species are known from these Islands. As regards bamboos not much work has been done because most of the areas are unexplored. The present authors have made extensive collection of bamboos of both Andaman and Nicobar group. There are 20 species wild and planted are reported from the islands. There is high degree of endemism in these islands. Six species viz. Dinochloa nicobarica, D. scandens var. andamanica (Bel bamboo), Schizostachyum andamanicum, S. kalpongianum, S. kurzii and S. rogersii are endemic the these islands. Dendrocalamus calostachys, Schizostachyum dullooa and S. polymorphum are now being reported from the wild for the first time. Rest all the species except Gigantochloa andamanica (Chatai bamboo) are under cultivation. There is a great demand for ballies or non-commercial timber in these Islands. Therefore bamboo can substitute the requirement of ballies, also can reduce the pressure on the forest.Keywords

Shifting cultivation that is known as 'jhuming' in Mizoram, is an integral part of the sociocultural life of Mizos. With increase in population the jhuming cycle has shortened considerably and the productivity ofland has fallen with devastating impact on the environment. The Govt. ofMizoram in 1984 launched a programme called New Land Use Policy (NLUP) with an objective to put an end to the practice of jhuming by providing alternative land based permanent occupation and stable income to the families practicing jhuming (jhumias) in rural areas thereby raising their standard of living. Assistance is provided for various trades or occupation for a period of three years. The programme is operated on yearly basis. In addition to the main trade, assistance is also provided for subsidiary trades so that the beneficiary earns income throughout the year. It is, however, found that the NLUP have not had any impact on jhuming as most of the beneficiaries are continuing jhuming even after receiving assistance under NLUP. Programme has also failed to bring out any perceptible improvement in the economic condition of the villagers. There has not been any significant change in the quality oftife of the beneficiaries. There is a need to bring out changes in the attitudes towards Jhuming. The programme needs restructuring. The beneficiaries, village councils and YMA need to be involved at all levels, proper marketing facilities for the products are required to be provided, utmost care is required while selecting the beneficiaries, the resources of various participating departments are required to be pooled in and effective monitoring and evaluation system needs to be put in place.- Forestry Management Practices in Mizoram - a Review

Wide spread shifting cultivation and lack of scientific management have cleared and greatly altered the original tropical evergreen forests of Mizoram and turned them into secondary bamboo forests and open grasslands with scattered tree growth. Unless timely actions are taken to delineate and consolidate the forests and bring them under proper scientific management the forests will remain untended and unprotected.- Gregarious Flowering of Dulu Bamboo, Schizostachyum dullooa in Mizoram, India
