Though
the understanding of the institutional framework of
land resource utilisation is the utmost priority for
formulating and implementing environmentally sustainable
strategy for development in the Himalaya, yet very
little is known about the basic features of agrarian
economy of the Himalaya. This is urgent not only to
save the Himalaya and to maintain the perenniality
of the Ganga and Yamuna rivers, but also to sustain
the fertile future of the food bowl of the Gangetic
plains.
The present study
is an attempt to analyse the basic interaction between
man and mountains. Land resources are the kernel around
which the human habitat has always been revolved and
agglomerated. Keeping in view of its significance,
the integrated facits of the Himalayan socio-economic
system, based on agrarian structure and land resource
utilisation, are analysed namely, agricultural economy;
agrarian relations; utilisation of work force; technology
and agriculture in the Central Himalaya. The data
on land resource utilisation since 1815 have been
computed. This data analysis has been supported by
primary data collected through sample survey in the
Central Himalaya.
This book would fill the present vacuum by providing
socio-economic understanding of the environmental
sustainability and utilisation of land resources in
the Central Himalaya. The book will be useful as an
essential reference volume for the researchers, planners,
administrators and students, as well the general reader
working or feeling concern for the burning imbalances
between environment and development, specifically
in the Central Himalaya.
