| Abstract: | The natural environment and resources play a significant role in the livelihood of communities of any area. Many communities are still dwelling on natural resources for the livelihood and survival. Mainly, the tribal people come under the arena of such communities living in a symbiotic relationship with natural habitat. Van-Gujjar, a pastoral nomadic ethnic community of north-western states of India practicing transhumance in the Himalayan and adjacent lowland pastures in the summer and winter respectively. The present study intends to find out the problems faced by the community during the transhumance cycle and provide the possible way out for the well-being of the community. Upper Yamuna basin has been selected as the unit of analysis. The present study is entirely based on the primary sources of data-collected through intensive field survey. Groups have been selected on the basis of stratified purposive sampling. Schedule and observation methods have also been employed at three stages of transhumance cycle. The study shows a significant decrease in pasture land, resulting into decrease in quality as well as quantity of fodder and forage, leading into financial instability due to decrease in milk productivity. The study also observed that Van-Gujjars in the study area comes across plethora of multi-dimensional problems. These problems need to be resolved on time and livelihood options of the community should be diversified for the inclusive development of the community. |
