Abstract

Common property resources[CPRs] could be simply described as community's natural resources where every member has access and usage facility with specified obligation, without anybody having exclusive property rights over them (Jodha 1995]. In the context of Indian villages, the resources falling under CPR category include community pastures, community forests and wastelands, common dumping and threshing grounds, watershed drainages, village ponds, rivers/rivulets as well as their banks and beds (Gowda and Savadatti 2004]. CPRs have been steadily declining in quantity and quality over the years (Chopra and Gulati 1998], This declining CPR extent and quality is important both for sustainability of CPR dependent livelihoods and the natural resources themselves (Chopra and Dasgupta 2002].
