The Government of Himachal Pradesh (India) has developed the Forest Sector Policy and Strategy, 2005 in consonance with the Government of India policy guidelines and by making important amendments to the previous Himachal Pradesh Forest Policy of 1980. This policy has been developed through a multi-stakeholder consultation process by the Policy Analysis and Planning Unit set up under the Himachal Pradesh Forest Sector Reforms Project. This process is a model for policy development in the State. The endeavour of the Forest Sector Policy is to achieve the vision of the Himachal Pradesh Government which aims to harmonize the relations between the people and the environment. The policy seeks to address the aspirations of the people by making forestry a vibrant sector contributing towards livelihood enhancement of forest dependent communities through the departments working on natural resource management. 收起
