Abstract
The study suggests that the gender sensitive planning for
rural community driven forest management programme is favorable on the way to
increase women's income on the one hand, and reduction of their time to engage
in searching forest produces alongside augmentation of the involvement in
ancillary tasks such as processing of forest produces on the other, based on a
pragmatic evidence of that province of India wherein pioneer attempt of
participatory forestry movement as well as its gender sensitive measure in the
countryside were taken place. Notably, the women in the villages of
female-headed local forest management unit are the major contributor to their
family income, which they merely receive from forest source after initiating
the programme.
