In this book, Professor Tewari reviews the management of nontimber forest products of India under the control of Forest development Corporation during the last 30 years or so. In overall, Forest development Corporations are not functioning as efficiently as they were expected to do initially. Most of them are showing losses and depend continually on taxpayers’ money to survive. Thus, there is a need for new institutional innovations. The Author suggests a new approach towards managing this economically importance resource so as to reform the functioning of ailing corporations in the interest of tribal communities. A cooperative framework, which entrusts the management of nontimber forest products to the tribal communities, along with a support price program and effective coordination of market forces, is recommended for sustainable and socially rewarding management of nontimber forest products. Thus, a more decentralized management of nontimber forest products and nationally coordinated marketing framework is to be developed.
