Pressure on the land and natural resources have increased as a result of population growth over the previous few decades. Securing food, fuel, and fodder; improving the environment and reducing pollution; and protecting agriculture from unfavourable climate change are all goals of social forestry. The term" community forests" is also used to describe social forestry. In the 1950s, social forestry was being used on a modest scale in India (BRD, 1985). Social forestry in the country is the largest and most innovative participatory forestry experiment and the largest intervention design to increase the productivity and usage of communal land.
