Abstract
Jharkhand state is blessed with the presence of tiny insects kerria lacca belonging to the family Tachardiidae. Lac is one of the most valuable gifts of nature to the Tribal of Jharkhand who dwell in and around the forest areas which have the conventional host trees, Kusum, Palash and Ber. The present study examines the role of Lac in providing sustainable livelihood in Khunti, Simdega and Gumla districts of Jharkhand which are the largest producer of lac in the state of Jharkhand. Through interviewing the villagers, conducting FGDs and visiting the local markets in twelve villages of three districts this research study has tried to bring out the volcanic potentiality of lac production in these three districts of Jharkhand. The Government intervention and role of JASCOLAMP have to be increased to give technical and marketing support to villagers for producing more LAC so that the income of the tribal could increase.
