Development of fodder resources and rehabilitation of grazing lands on forests and in forest fringe areas is of paramount importance in view of the total dependence of a large number of people on this resource for their livelihood needs.

This proposal is based on the hypothesis that the development of fodder resources will be best achieved through allocation of clear and mutually exclusive but closely inter-linked roles and responsibilities to the various line departments, viz.

  • the department of animal husbandry, in collaboration with research institutes, will be responsible for development of better livestock breeds; and fodder storage, feed development, value addition protocols.
  • the department of agriculture, in collaboration with agricultural universities and research institutes, will be responsible for developing, promoting and extending nutritious and high yielding varieties of fodder species for cultivation on agricultural lands.
  • the department of forests, in collaboration with Panchayati Raj Institutions, Joint Forest Management Committees, Centre of Excellence, and research institutes will be responsible for rehabilitating the degraded grazing lands through promotion of fodder

The Indus Valley civilization, one of the world's oldest, flourished during the 3rd and 2nd millennia B.C. and extended into northwestern India. Aryan tribes from the northwest infiltrated the Indian subcontinent about 1500 B.C.; their merger with the earlier Dravidian inhabitants created the classical Indian culture. The Maurya Empire of the 4th and 3rd centuries B.C. - which reached its zenith under ASHOKA - united much of South Asia. The Golden Age ushered in by the Gupta dynasty (4th to 6th centuries A.D.) saw a flowering of Indian science, art, and culture.
