“…The association and dependence of tribal communities on the forest have empowered the communities with invaluable and extensive knowledge of various plants and bioresource utilization (Rout, Panda, Mishra, & Panda, 2010). The collection of NTFPs, which is demanding work in the best of times, is now more difficult due to the rapidly declining quality of the forests.…”

The dichotomy of poverty amid plenty paints a complex governance and policy framework from which to develop an inclusive growth agenda and avoid proven tensions between lagging regions and growth centers. Such tensions are often manifested in conflicts and masked poverty, which are camouflaged by macroindices of economic growth. Spatial disparity is evident in Odisha's highland forested region despite special federal policies and programs, prompting the need to find answers and address policy contradictions, implementation deficiencies, and the appropriateness of governance frameworks. This article unravels these issues by highlighting the perceptions of local communities in the discussion about lagging regions.

“…Utilization of NTFPs has been contributing much to the local livelihood (Sarmah and Arunachalam, 2011) and it may contribute as much as 20-25% of income to rural people (Vedeld et al, 2007). NTFPs may provide local job opportunity to two million people every year and contribute significantly to rural economy as more than half of the products are consumed by the tribals living in and around the forest area to meet their basic needs (Rout et al, 2010). Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) act as a source of income and facilitate the subsistence living of the tribal people (Peters et al, 1989;Hegde et al, 1996).…”

This paper examined the utilization pattern of Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) among the tribal population living in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh, India. The data for this study were generated from personal interviews of 135 respondents, who were randomly selected from nine villages of the Bilaspur district. The study showed that respondents were involved in collection of various NTFPs throughout the year. However, April-June month was found as the peak period for NTFPs collection by the respondents. All the respondents were engaged in mahua collection. Among the all collected NTFPs, the respondents had utilized mainly the fruit part of various NTFPs. The average quantities of various NTFPs collected by family-1 year-1 were as follows: 1483.25 stakes (bundles) of tendupatta, 144.51 kg of mahua and 79.25 kg of aam. The respondents consumed 70.18% of total collected quantity of kheksha followed by putu and chhatani (69.30%) and tendu (62.49%), whereas the respondents were selling 100% of total collected quantity of tendupatta and lakh followed by harra (97.94%). The data also revealed that the average annual income family-1 was maximum for mahua (` 2176.04) followed by char beej (` 1928.68) and gond (` 1888.98). The majority of respondents (94.81%) found bad weather as a main factor affecting the availability of various NTFPs. From this study, it could be concluded that collection, consumption and selling of NTFPs played a significant role in securing the livelihoods of the tribal population in the study area.

Kendu (Diospyros melanoxylon Roxb.) is considered to be a minor forest produce (MFP) in India. The Kendu plant is grown in plenty all over the eastern parts of India for commercialization of its leaves for making bidi, a traditional cigarette. However, most of the harvest goes waste as the fruit has never been explored for its nutritional aspects. Proper processing techniques need to be developed for value-addition of Kendu. The physico-chemical, mechanical, antioxidant properties and, mineral composition of the Kendu fruit were investigated. The fruit is of spherical shape with average sphericity, volume and surface area values of 0.97±0.02, 25.25± 1.37 cm3, and 40.30±1.55 cm2, respectively. The average moisture content of pulp was 66.17±1.84 % (db.). The energy value of the pulp was 491.75±2.0 KJ. Hardness of the fruit in axial direction was 9.5±1.85 N. Total phenolic content (TPC), 2, 2-diphenil-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) activity and ferric reducing ability in plasma (FRAP) values of fruit were high. Mineral such as potassium, calcium and phosphorus were present in high concentration. Various physico-chemical and mechanical properties found can be used in designing proper equipment for value-addition of the fruit. The data on antioxidant properties suggests the nutritional importance of Kendu fruit.
