Title of the project:
Commercial Cultivaton & Processing of Medicinal & Aromatic Plant
Species in Meghalaya

2.

Objective:
The main objective of JFMC is Protection, conservation of natural
resources through active involvement of the people. Checking land
degradation, deforestation and loss of biodiversity and ecological
restoration and environmental conservation and eco-development
involving village level people‟s organization, which can manage the
natural resources in and around villages in a sustainable manner and
to improve quality of life and self-sustenance aspect of people living in
and around forest areas and to develop capability endowment and skill
enhancement for improving employability of the rural people.
The forest dwellers and tribals living near forest have been
given full rights to NTFP‟s. Under the Panchayats (Extension to
Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA) control over NTFP‟s has been passed on
to the Panchayats. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has a
large program of forest regeneration through Joint Forest Management
Committee (JFMC‟s). The existing regeneration program, however,
focuses on production aspects only and does not support activities for
creating storage, primary processing infrastructure and marketing
support. Regeneration of NTFP‟s through JFMC‟s requires to be
supported with processing and marketing, to enable the forest dwellers
and tribals to get higher incomes for the NTFP‟s collected by them due
to the improved quality and longer shelf life. It is proposed to identify
Forest Development Agencies with JFMC‟s having high potential of
medicinal plants and provide assistance for warehousing, value

addition, quality testing of medicinal plant parts, capacity building and
marketing support.
3.

Justification:
(i)

To assess the effectiveness of the scheme, especially in terms of
cost-effectiveness, in rehabilitation of degraded areas on a
sustainable basis in terms of quality and quantity of the growing
stock. This will include assessment of survival percentage of the
planted seedlings and its relationship with various factors, and
improvement in forest/ tree cover due to the FDA project;

(ii)

To assess the effectiveness of FDA-JFMC mechanism for
decentralization of forest management;

(iii)

To assess the effectiveness of FDA-JFMC mechanism for
transfer of resources from center to the local institutions (FDA‟s
and JFMC‟s);

(iv)

To assess the effectiveness of FDA-JFMC mechanism against the
following specific parameters:(a) Employment opportunities and income to tribal and other
disadvantaged groups/individuals in the JFM villages
(b) Flow of forest products to tribals and other disadvantaged
groups/individuals in the JFM villages.
(c) Creation

of

durable

community

assets

that

could

contribute to over all eco-development in the JFM villages.
(d) Effective mechanisms to ensure that the benefits reach
the intended beneficiaries.
(v)

To assess the changes in levels of funding to NAP-assisted FDA
divisions under State Plan and Non-Plan/External Assistance
3

provided by Forest Department/Other Sources, and distinguish
the pattern in different States.
(vi)

To analyze the creation, maintenance and management of
village/JFMC- level common fund/funds, and assess its efficacy
in promoting people‟s participation in forest management.

Medicinal plants resource scenario in the state:

The medicinal plants growing in Meghalaya have been reported to be in a
range of around 834 species. The endemic and threatened categories of
medicinal plants have been listed. The rich medicinal plant wealth of
Meghalaya due to wide altitudinal variation, geographical location and
favourable environmental conditions for plant growth, the state has vast
opportunities in capturing the national and international blooming medicinal
plant trade. This region is also rich in gymnosperms, Pteridophytes, Algae,
Fungi, Bryophytes and Lichens diversity. The medicinal plant species
belonging to the family Poaceae, Orchidaceae, Araceae, Asteraceae,
Fabaceae, Rubiaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Acanthaceae, Lamiaceae, Lauraceae,
Cyperaceae, Utricaceae etc. The numerous tribal populations inhabiting the
densely wooded regions of Meghalaya have a rich medicinal plant lone,
developed after centuries of tribal and error with their use. Some of these
folklore medicines have proved efficacious after detailed pharmacological
trials. It is not appropriate or possible to list all such medicinal plants.

i) Species plants resource scenario in the state:
The

flora

of

Meghalaya

has

affinities

to

different

phytogeographical realms of the world and the phytogeographycal
regions of India. Balakrishnan (1981) provides a very good account of
the phytogeography of Meghalaya in his “Flora of Jowai”. As expected,
the flora is largely Indo-Malayan in nature. There are good
representations of Sino- Himalayan species, owing to its sub-himalayan
existence. Many floristic elements show distinct distribution with
Western Ghats, thus pointing towards the peninsular Indian affinities.
The flora also shows affinities with the American, African, European
and Australian flora to some extent.
To cite a few examples of plants showing different affinities are
Nepenthes, Vaccinium, Macrosolen, Balanophora etc (Malayan),
Corylopsis,

Kadsura,

Camellia,

Mahonia

etc.

(Sino-himalayan),
5

Deeringia,

Holoragis

etc

(Australian),

Boeschneakia,

Pyrularia,

Zanthoxylum, Salomonia, Cuphea etc. (American Nee World) Ochna,
Meyna, Heritieras (African), Leea, Munronia, Xanthophyllum, Helicia
(Peninsular India). It is indeed remarkable to have such wider
affinities.
Meghalayan flora has a good representation of endemics. Some
such species are: Adinandra griffithii, Aechmanthera leiosperma,
Anacolosa illiciodes, Baliospermum micranthus, Calliandra griffithii,
Callicarpa psilocalyx, Camellia caduca, Ceropegia angustifolia, Citrus
latipes,

Corybas

purpureus,

Cynanchum

wallichii,

Dactylicapnos

toruloa, Daphne shillong etc.

iii) Districts, Divisions and JFMC’s/VSS from where collected:
The collection of medicinal plant would be done throughout
the state which includes all the 7 districts of Meghalaya. The
collection of the NTFP‟s would be basically done from the wild
sources. The selected JFMC‟s for assistance themselves will venture
in

the

forest

in

search

of

seedling

in

their

respective

districts/division. Also the species may be collected from Nurseries
throughout the state.

iv) Infrastructure of mandies, trade centers, manufacturing
units:
The market of medicinal plants in general throughout the
country is unorganized and very secretive. There is unfair trade
throughout the country and especially in north-east. Since there in as
such no presence of mandies, trade centers in Meghalya. The
cultivated products would be directly sold to organization trading in
Medicinal Plants.

v) Socio economic profile, dependence of people in NTFP and
medicinal plantsNTFP collection and trading is not an isolated activity. There are
several other aspects that influence it. Starting from the exploitation of
tribal earlier to presently they grappling with getting a fair price of
their produce are deeply entrenched in the social process. In some
cases several people who are considered as „encroachers‟. Tribal have
been living in this area for ages, how come they are labeled as
encroachers?
Traditionally, tribal people did not have any recorded system of
land allotment. Their land use was primarily based on community
decisions. The village headman decided which area to be cultivated by
whom. It was all forestland and as they have been living here
traditionally, they did not find it important to bring the land to their
record. Because the area was under Forest Department, the Revenue
Department did not cover the area under its settlement. Hence, the
landholding of tribal people was not regularized.
Nagaland is an NTFP-abundant area and here NTFP collection and
selling is an important source of livelihood. There is a complex
interaction among the tribal people, traders, Government agencies,
7

Jan Chetna Sansthan. There are also several aspects – economic,
ecological and social issues related to NTFP management. Over the
last ten years, the profile of NTFP availability has changed. The tribal
are also grappling with regularization of land rights.
Under such complex situation, people‟s institutions play an
important role in empowering them and in increasing their bargaining
capacity. Collection of Non-timber forest produces (NTFP‟s) has been a
good source of revenue for the state and is an important source of
livelihood of tribal people. The Forest Department gets the information
related to the collection and rates of the various NTFP‟s in respective
region at yearly basis. But, in real terms, it has no involvement in the
actual collection or rate determination process of the same. It is
expected that even grading could fetch significantly higher price than
the present one. But the potential of value addition is very high. The
following kind of value addition can be done:
• Drying
• Cleaning, filtering
• Grading
• Grinding
• Oil Extraction
• Packaging etc.
The forest dwellers and tribals living near forest have been given
full rights to NTFPs. Under the Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled
Area) Act (PESA) control over NTFPs has been passed on to the
Panchayats. The Ministry of Environment and Forest has a large
program of forest regeneration through Joint Forest Management
Committee (JFMCs). Regeneration of NTFPs through JFMCs requires to
be supported with processing and marketing, to enable the forest
dwellers and tribals to get higher incomes for the NTFPs collected by
8

them due to the improved quality and longer shelf life. It is proposed
to identify Forest Development Agencies with JFMCs having high
potential of medicinal plants and provide assistance for warehousing,
value addition, quality testing of medicinal plant parts, capacity
building and marketing support.

Exit strategy and sustainability:
Forest ecosystem as a natural resource base, provides benefits
that support lifeline of human being as well as many. Forests provide a
wide range of timber & non-timber produces including fuel wood, fodder,
food, and medicines etc. which act as natural resource inputs for
converting them into economic outputs and thus contribute towards the
livelihood of the people. The quality of forest and the pattern of forest
management will determine its productivity and flow of natural forest
products for generating livelihood options for the people. The productivity
and sustainable harvesting pattern will determine the flow of forest
resources available for the livelihood of the community who are dependent
on forest. Thus there is direct link between the quality of forest resource
base available and the sustainability of livelihood of the community for
their survival provided the forest is managed on sustainable basis. While
the link between the forest resource base and livelihood of the people
cannot be denied, many more factors which are responsible for
sustainable forest management, will determine the sustainability of
livelihood of the people.
Sustainable

forest

management

integrates

two

main

interdependent goals –„well being of the forest‟ and „well being of the
people‟. Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs
(livelihood as basic need) of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs. Therefore, sustainability of
both natural and human resources is of prime importance. Sustainability of
human

resources

includes

consideration

of

social

capital

and

responsibilities for management of resources. Sustainability of land and
natural resources involves maintaining or enhancing this vital resource
base for the long term.
