The main objective of the present communication is not limited only up to the publicity and extension of agroforestry as a multipurpose beneficial technique , rather it is an attempt to illuminate the new dimension of Agroforestry , through which the effective conservation of NTFPs can be achieved with simultaneous economic improvement of the farmers. The paper highlights the alarming level of the loss of forest cover. Keeping in view the potentials of the agroforestry , appropriate schemes have been formulated to conserve the NTFP resources along with simultaneous improvement of the economic conditions of the farmers. For the effective motivation of farmers to ensure the large-scale adoption of the proposed agroforestry schemes , the economic potentials of the agroforestry have been illustrated. It is expected that proper implementation of the proposed schemes can help in conservation of the NTFP resources with simultaneous economic improvement of the farmers.- Economic Valuation of Non Timber Forest Products Contribution in Tribal Livelihood in West Singhbhum District of Jharkhand

The study has been conducted to evaluate the economic dependency of tribal livelihoods and to explore the economic contribution of NTFP in their livelihoods in 50 selected villages of West Singhbhum district of Jharkhand state. The study reveals substantial contribution of NTFP in the tribal livelihoods. Six major NTFPs of this forests, managed under 'Mundari-khuntkattidari' system of traditional management by the Tribals, were included in the present study. The economic returns from NTFP was found to have suffered a lot as a result of some major constraints like- unorganized trade, lack of proper storage and value addition facilities and marketing by The middle men. Besides the economic valuation of NTFPs contribution in tribal livelihoods, the gaps in existing practices and knowledge levels leading to low returns were also identified and factors affecting the profitability were screened with some suggestion to further enhance the economic returns.Keywords
