Abstract
The present study has been conducted in the Misras Patti gramsabha of Sahaspur block, Dehradun, where we found that people are suffering from high human wildlife conflicts, less market knowledge and availability, unirrigated land area and changing their land use pattern beyond agriculture. It is found that adjoining forest of this gramsabha rich in biodiversity of medicinal and aromatic plants and some rare and endangered species are found such as Gloriosa superba, Tinospora cordifolia, Rauvolfia serpentine Development of agro-technology and cultivation of medicinal and aromatic plants can form one of the important components for the socio-economic development of native communities as an income-generating resource.
