Introduction:
North-Eastern Region is one of the most bio-diversity rich areas of India and characterized by rugged topography of Himalayan range. This region is one of the richest forest producing areas such as timber, cane and bamboo, flora and fauna. The Government has taken various measures for rubber plantation, preservation of flora & fauna, wild life and plantation of various species of trees that has high commercial value. Here Village Resource management is needed to improve the livelihood of vulnerable groups in a sustainable manner through improved management of their resource base in a way that contributes to preservation and restoration of the environment.

VRM (Village Resource Management) is looking at the participatory, sustainable and viable community based institutions that are expected to carry out a people driven mode of rural development.

GIS technology affords the ability to integrate a wide range of environmental,

demographic, and economic information in support of resource management initiatives.

However, the realization of these application opportunities requires a focused and

planned strategy that is based on a clear understanding of the market potential,

implementation requirements, technical alternatives, and risks associated with such a

Comprehensive venture.

In order to proceed with this mandate we are undertaking a comprehensive assessment

of the market potential in combination with a review of appropriate technical strategies.

The result of this application is a business strategy that focuses on implementing and

applying GIS in a manner appropriate to meet the needs of Native organizations. A

review of implementation and development strategies is provided including approaches

utilized for dealing with cultural and technology transfer issues.

Scope:





To facilitate these objectives some specific value added products and services would be emphasized. These reflect the immediate need of First Nations in support of integrated resource management. These include:

Products:





Services:





Decomposition:





It is clear through the activities that have been undertaken to date that GIS technology affords many possibilities for development requirements. GIS will not only provide the mechanism to integrate information but it will also enforce the compilation and maintenance of appropriate data. Too much administrative information is maintained that offers little to support of realistic planning scenarios. It is a valuable means of assessing progress and identifying problems and specific data concerns early, before significant resources are wasted on production development.

Sample Data





Conclusion:
Large sections of the people in various parts of the world, particularly in poorer areas, are still sustained by natural ecosystems. They are known to have a reasonably thorough knowledge of what happens in nature in which they live and find options for their livelihood support. This knowledge system was very sensitive to changes in nature and was creatively linked with the functions of nature and the biodiversity stock that prevailed. It grew through generations of experience and experimentation and was mostly retained in oral tradition. For more than one reason, this vital link between culture and biodiversity is being increasingly snapped. Since it has not been properly recorded, the knowledge system is getting irrecoverably lost to the present generation. People Biodiversity Register Format is nothing but a specific modeling method to identify the basic biodiversity status of a particular region. Here this community resource can be implemented for the North Eastern Region and conservation for the village resources of the region.
