The aim of this study is to identify, explain and ascertain the term “Social Equity” in the context of equal and unequal participation opportunity from different groups of society i.e. men, women, different caste groups and marginalized groups focusing in terms of decision making, equitable cost benefit sharing and equal access of resources among all user members of the Natural Resource Management groups in the Devisthan Community Forestry User Group and Parewatar Sinchai-Jal Upabhokta Samiti of Kumpur in Dhading district. Women, Dalit and other marginalized groups are motivated to participate in the management of CFUG and FMIS due to requirement of forest products and water resources and on the other hand they are required to include in executive committee due to the requirement of government. Participation of women, Dalit and marginalized groups should be ensured in every activity of community forest management and farmer managed irrigation system, and male members in the society should be supportive by creating favorable environment to the women. The protection and management responsibilities of forest and irrigation should be entrusted to these groups to make them fair participation in any kind of opportunities. Education, employment opportunities and independent income could make them conscious about forest and irrigation and its protection and bring concept of equal participation in every sector of natural resources. However, it is rather difficult to involve these groups in forest and irrigation management. It requires making them optimistic and confident about the benefits of future through their forest and irrigation based income generation activities. It is necessary for women to think that forest and irrigation system is their source of income and the responsibilities of its protection and management rest on their hands. Presence of women looks attractive in the eyes of government and other social activist.

This book is open access under a CC BY-NC-ND license. This book addresses the issue of how a country, which was incorporated into the world economy as a periphery, could make a transition to the emerging state, capable of undertaking the task of economic development and industrialization. It offers historical and contemporary case studies of transition, as well as the international background under which such a transition was successfully made (or delayed), by combining the approaches of economic history and development economics. Its aim is to identify relevant historical contexts, that is, the ‘initial conditions’ and internal and external forces which governed the transition. It also aims to understand what current low-income developing countries require for their transition. Three economic driving forces for the transition are identified. They are: (1) labor-intensive industrialization, which offers ample employment opportunities for labor force; (2) international trade, which facilitates efficient international division of labor; and (3) agricultural development, which improves food security by increasing supply of staple foods. The book presents a bold account of each driver for the transition.

This open access volume is the first comprehensive assessment of the Hindu Kush Himalaya (HKH) region. It comprises important scientific research on the social, economic, and environmental pillars of sustainable mountain development and will serve as a basis for evidence-based decision-making to safeguard the environment and advance people’s well-being. The compiled content is based on the collective knowledge of over 300 leading researchers, experts and policymakers, brought together by the Hindu Kush Himalayan Monitoring and Assessment Programme (HIMAP) under the coordination of the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD). This assessment was conducted between 2013 and 2017 as the first of a series of monitoring and assessment reports, under the guidance of the HIMAP Steering Committee: Eklabya Sharma (ICIMOD), Atiq Raman (Bangladesh), Yuba Raj Khatiwada (Nepal), Linxiu Zhang (China), Surendra Pratap Singh (India), Tandong Yao (China) and David Molden (ICIMOD and Chair of the HIMAP SC). This First HKH Assessment Report consists of 16 chapters, which comprehensively assess the current state of knowledge of the HKH region, increase the understanding of various drivers of change and their impacts, address critical data gaps and develop a set of evidence-based and actionable policy solutions and recommendations. These are linked to nine mountain priorities for the mountains and people of the HKH consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals. This book is a must-read for policy makers, academics and students interested in this important region and an essentially important resource for contributors to global assessments such as the IPCC reports.
