Announcement of Training Programme on
NTFPs based Livelihood Promotion for the Tribal and other
Forest Dwelling Communities
12th to 16th September, 2016
Bhopal
Background
Forestry is the second-largest land use in India after agriculture, covering about 641,130
square kilometers, or 22 percent of the total land base. Roughly 275 million poor rural people
in India—27 percent of the total population— depend on forests for at least part of their sub-
sistence and cash livelihoods, which they earn from fuel wood, fodder, poles, and a range of non
-timber forest products (NTFPs), such as fruits, flowers, bark, roots and medicinal and aro-
matic plants (MAPs). Half of India’s 89 million tribal people, the most disadvantaged section of
society, live in forest fringe areas, and they tend to have close cultural and economic links with
the forest (MoEF, 2006).
The tribal and other forest dwelling communities gather various NTFPs for commercial, con-
sumption, health and other needs. NTFPs are major source of cash income for the tribal particu-
larly in the lean seasons. However, due to lack of aggregation, poor value addition and inade-
quate transport and communication facilities, the poor forest produce gatherers are not able to
access bigger market for better price realisation. Most of the NTFPs are sold by primary col-
lectors in local weekly haat-bazars wherein they remain prone to exploitation in the absence of
aggregation, value addition and thereby lack of bargaining power. Whereas the demand for
various NTFPs especially herbal and medicinal products has been increasing rapidly in nation-
al and international markets and as such the return from NTFPs trade h owever, the primary
forest produce gatherers could not benefitted from the incremental benefitted generated from
the NTFPs value chains due to their involvement at primary level i. e. largely collection of
NTFPs.
Keeping in the importance of NTFPs in ensuring livelihood security of the tribal, various Gov-
ernment agencies, NGOs and corporates have taken initiative for NTFPs based value chain de-
velopment with focus on conservation of forest resources, their production through cultivation
and promoting local value addition and market linkages in recent past. Despite successes to
various degree in this respect, it was found through the situational analysis study on NTFPs
based livelihood promotion conducted by ILRT central and north-eastern India that the profes-
sional engaged in NTFP based livelihood promotion of the tribal do need adequate understand-
ing, know-how and skills for planning and implement NTFPs based value chain development
interventions so as to achieve the dual purpose of conservation of forest resources and ensuring
livelihood security of the forest dwelling communities.
It is in this context that the present training course is designed to build capacities and skills of
the professionals in design and implementation of NTFPs based livelihood promotion.
