Impact of Minor Forest Products on Sustainable Livelihoods Framework in Rural Tribal Communities: A Study in Kondagaon District of Chhattisgarh

Abstract Abstract: This study focuses on sustainable livelihood frameworks (SLF) in rural tribal communities and the role of small forest produce within them. A sustainable livelihood framework is a people-centered approach that seeks holistic development without harming natural resources. It is primarily based on five types of capital: human capital (skills, knowledge, health), social capital (community organizations, self-help groups), natural capital (forests, biodiversity), physical capital (equipment, roads, storage), and financial capital (income, savings, market linkages). Strengthening these five contributes to sustainable use of natural resources, increased income, health, reduced social vulnerability, and food security. The focus of this study is Kondagaon district in Chhattisgarh, where, according to the 2011 census, approximately 70% of the population is tribal (mostly Gond, Mudia, Madia, and Halba communities). The tribals here depend on non-timber Forest products such as fruits, leaves, flowers, herbs, etc., which are obtained without harming nature. Studies have found that approximately 70-80% of tribal families earn income directly or indirectly from these forest products. People understand the importance of forests and want to protect them for the future. Government schemes (such as MSP, Van Dhan Kendra) are helpful in this direction, but the local market structure is weak and dominated by middlemen and unorganized businesses, due to which tribals are unable to get fair prices.
