    Decentralized forest management is an
    important policy issue in India and elsewhere. Yet there are
    few careful studies of the impacts of community forestry.
    The authors try to fill this gap by analyzing National
    Sample Survey data from 524 villages in five states in
    India. Their analysis seeks to answer two key questions: (1)
    Who participates in community forestry and what are the
    determinants of participation? (2) What is the impact of

    The power sector in India plays a
    fundamental role in the economic development process. The
    country faces formidable challenges in meeting its energy
    needs in an environmentally sustainable manner and at
    reasonable costs. The planning and operation of the sector
    has hitherto been conducted without due regard to the
    environmental consequences. As a result, additions to
    capacity in recent years have been sub-optimal. Moreover

    This study by the World Bank indicates that forests offer vast potential for poverty reduction and rural economic growth in India while also supporting critical national conservation goals. An estimated 275 million people in rural areas depend on forests for at least part of their livelihoods. Forest dwellers, which include a high proportion of tribals, are among the poorest and most vulnerable groups in society. The government of India has adopted Joint Forest Management as a principal approach for community-based forestry.

    This report presents the impact and
    lessons learned from the Andhra Pradesh Drought Adaptation
    Initiative (APDAI). The APDAI was implemented as a package
    of pilot activities in two dryland districts in Andhra
    Pradesh (Anantapur and Mahbubnagar) with the aim of
    developing and testing approaches for natural resource-based
    economic activities to better respond to current climate
    variability and long-term consequences of climate change.

    This study provides estimates of social
    and financial costs of environmental damage in India from
    three pollution damage categories: (i) urban air pollution;
    (ii) inadequate water supply, poor sanitation, and hygiene;
    and (iii) indoor air pollution. It also provides estimates
    based on three natural resource damage categories: (i)
    agricultural damage from soil salinity, water logging, and
    soil erosion; (ii) rangeland degradation; and (iii)
