Abstract
The Joint Forest Management Programme (JFM) has been a major thrust area of forest
management over the last two decades. The programme is operating with main objective
of forest management and empowerment of local communities through sustainable
resource utilisation. The effective and meaningful involvement of local communities has
been attempted under the Joint forest Management system in India by linking socioeconomic
incentives and forest development. The present paper will provide a brief
overview of the policy makers regarding the effectiveness of the programme
operationalised in different parts of the country. It further tries to review the process of
JFM and factors promoting community participation for forest management under the
regime of JFM in India.
