| Abstract: | Building and nurturing institutions are most challenging tasks in any development
work. In this paper an attempt has been made to understand the rise and fall of institutions
involved in the management of forest resources. This has been done through comparative case
studies of Van (Forest) Panchayats of Uttaranchal and Forest Protection Committees of West
Bengal in India. As has been documented, Van Panchayats have been created as a response to the
peoples movement against forest reservation at the beginning of the 20th century. The concept of
Forest Protection Committees under Joint Forest Management in India has recently emerged in
response to the severe degradation of forest resources and the persistent conflicts and movements
against the State. The paper goes on to explain the evolution, management systems and
effectiveness of these institutions along with the issues they are confronted with in the management and protection of forest resources. |
