Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) play a vital role for the subsistence and also contribute substantial amount in the annual income of rural and tribal people. In the recent past, there has been increasing interest in the potential of NTFPs collection and uses of other forest resources for achieving livelihood security of poor forest dependent communities living at forest fringes using forest resources in various ways. Unfortunately, due to deforestation and degradation of forests at an alarming faster rate all over India than ever before, major NTFPs of high demand are under threat and prone to disappear from natural tropical forests. Indian National Forest Policy has laid down objectives to maintain environmental stability through preservation and restoration of ecological balance that has been adversely disturbed by depletion of forests. In terms of livelihood of the forestry based traditional communities, conservation and sustainable management of utilizable NTFPs are very important both for subsistence and economic upliftment of the forest fringe people.
