The term social forestry was used by the National Commission on Agriculture in 1976, to denote tree raising programmes to supply fire wood, small timber and minor forest products to rural population.

Rural income generation through massive plantation work & revenue earning from wood stock value,selling the medicinal plants and energy crops generated by inter crop management are the important task to improve socio-economic condition of rural masses.

Carbon credit earning through Clean Development Mechanism (C D M ) will be an additional INCOME benefit by SOCIAL FORESTRY for Afforestation/Re forestation and Waste land development.

It's a community based work on massive plantation through PANCHAYAT/VILLAGE ASSEMBLY involving farmers,village workers,Govt & private bodies etc etc

under JOINT VENTURE programme.

SOCIAL FORESTRY is a management and protection of forest and afforestation on the degraded land with the purpose of helping in the Environment,Social & Rural development.
