A participatory approach to forest management popularly known as Joint Forest
Management (JFM) organized at a grassroots level by community-based
institutions has been implemented in India since 1970s and is considered, by and
large, to be successful and an ideal forest management model in the present world
forestry scenario. The present article tries to examine and evaluate the impact
assessment of Joint Forest Management policy on the social, economic and
ecological equilibrium of village level institutions working in the Shivalik foothill
region in Northern India in Haryana state. It further analyses the emerging policy
issues confronting joint forest management as a result of revised JFM notification
in 1998 issued by Government of Haryana. The main controversial feature of
revised notification has been its new benefit sharing system between Haryana
Forest Department (HFD) and Hill Resource Management Societies (HRMS). As
a result, the income of all the JFM committees declined by 50 to 75%. Many of
these committees functioning with great success have altogether collapsed for
want of funds after the issuance of revised notification and sudden decline in the
demand of bhabbar (Eulaliopsis binata) which needs immediate attention.
