Likewise other tribal areas, the community in Kanker, Hazaribagh and Koraput have also been facing challenges emerged due to climate variability and change. While rainfed agriculture in small and marginal land is the main livelihood practice, the NTFPs provides subsistent food, nutrition and income security round the year. The fluctuation in rainfall pattern over the year and during monsoon season, higher summer temperature and long dry period are impacting the livelihood resources, hence the food security. Any agricultural stress leads to over exploitation of NTFPs for the forest. The study records the availability of nearly 30 NTFPs from the study area. The tribal of Kanker and Hazaribagh collects good quantity of MFPs namely, tendupatta, mahua, ber, harar, bamboo, sal seed, lac, tamarind etc. The tribals of Koraput collect wild mango tubers, siali leaves, mushroom and broom grass in large quantity.
