Description
Summary:A large majority of over 75 cr rural population of India are dependent on Common Property Resources (CPRs) for their livelihood. But with the spread of liberalization, privatization, globalization and market-orientation even to the ordinary business of people's lives, the CPR base of the country is depleting very fast. If such depletion persists, it could be alarming.

A comprehensive CPR management policy of the Public Private Partnership (PPP) kind with thrust on local stakeholders is suggested. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
