Whatever may be the type and conditions of forest in any part of the country, the ideal is to have and effective and efficient conservation and management system in place and one of the viable options for doing so has been to set up Community Forest User Groups (CFUG). Despite basic needs such as firewood, fodder and timber are major concerns of users, second generation issues are important to address for proper functioning of CFUG. Under the government policy framework, CFUGs in respect of transparency, accountability, participation and predictability are to increase the institutional capability for the participatory decision making.
