The Project aims at addressing the problem of forest degradation in the identfied forest fringe areas of the State. The Project would be implemented by Forest Van Panchayats (VPs), which are community-based organizations in forestry sector, ensuring their capacity development in the process. The project aims at controlling forest degradation, improvement of livelihood options and income generating activities of the people living in the target area, thereby, reducing their dependence on forests.

The natural catastrophic disaster in Uttarakhand in June 2013 led to massive slope failures (sediment disaster) and damage to roads in forest areas. Forest department personnel, posted in remote areas of the State, where presence of other departments is less, nay negligible, can play a very crucial role in combatting such natural calamities effectively and in a timely manner. To address this issue, a component of disaster management, which includes treatment of landslides and reconstruction of damaged forest roads in disaster affected forest areas as well as developing a good infrastructure and capacity building of forest personnel, has also been kept in the Project.
