Film Description

Joint Forest Management is a viable concept and is perhaps the only means of eco-restoration under Indian context, where too many people are too much dependent on too little forests. A proposition for saving forests at Ayodhya hills in Puruliya district of West Bengal by making the forest fringe dwellers self-reliant to wean them away from forest has been audio-visually documented by Susanta Biswas.

The documentary was highly appreciated by the the State Forest department of West Bengal and is is accepted by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Govt. of India for the national telecast in Doordarshan.
