ANSWER
...........
CHARACTERTICS ARE AS FOLLOWING
.........
1. The major purpose of the JFM is to protect the forests from encroachments, grazing, theft and fire and also to improve the forests in accordance with an approved Joint Forest Management Plan
2. Under this programme, local communities are involved in the management and restoration of degraded forests.
3. In return, the members of these communities are entitled to intermediary benefits like non-timber forest produces.
4. The National Forest Policy of 1988 envisages people's involvement in the
development and protection of forests. The requirement of fuel wood, fodder and small
timber such as house-building material, of the tribals and other villagers living in and
near the forests, are to be treated as first charge on forest produce. The policy document
envisages it as one of the essentials of forest management that the forest communities
should be motivated to identify themselves with the development and protection of
forests from which they derive benefits. Government of India has requested all the state
governments to involve committed NGOs for motivating and organising village
communities for protection, afforestation and development of degraded forestland,
especially in the vicinity of habitation and issued guidelines to all state
governments(letter No.6-21/89-F.P. Dt. 1-6-1990).
5. All the resolutions of different states have provided usufruct rights to user groups
and clearly noted that land is not to be allocated or leased. The tenurial period for usufruct
rights is not mentioned in most of resolutions and the rights are confined to only degraded
forests. Village-level groups are to operate under the supervision of Forest Department
Officials as the resolutions recommended village-level committees as functional
management groups. Some resolutions proposed the formulation of joint management plans
to coordinate the agency and community activities(Poffenberger et.al. 1996). However,
operational guidelines for cooperative planning are unclear, and where they are outlined,
they tend to reflect the interests and concerns of the forest department.
