Shahzad Ahmad1,2,*, Naheed Irfan3, Jyoti Kumar 1 1University Department of Botany, Ranchi University, Morabadi, Ranchi-843008, (Jharkhand) India 2Forest, Environment and Climate Change Department, Govt. of Jharkhand, Nepal House, Ranchi- 834002, (Jharkhand) India 3Department of Sociology, Sundarwati Mahila College, Tilka Manjhi Bhagalpur University, Bhagalpur, Bihar, India ABSTRACT Forests are considered as one of the major sources of livelihood for the average share of population of the state that need to be conserved. Deforestation has accelerated the loss of forest and its resources as well as causing soil erosion, flash floods and climate change affecting sustainability. In country including Jharkhand, there have been continuous efforts to evolve with a scientific approach for sustainable management of forests. Recently, the forest management approach has been addressed through “Social forestry” project started by National Commission on Agriculture the Government of India in 1976. The programme has been started with an aim of reducing the pressure from the notified forests by afforestation of all the unused and fallow lands. The present study aims at understanding the Social forestry scheme and their components in the context of Jharkhand. The study identified the different Social forestry scheme on both notified and outside notified forest land as well as Social forestry on private land i.e. JanVan yojna. The data of afforestation under different schemes for notified and outside notified forest land suggest the increase in forest cover of the state and its capital which is confirmed by the ISFR report of 2017 & 2019 shows increase in forest by 58 km2 in state and 0.49 km2 in Ranchi district.
