| Summary/Abstract |
The inadequacies of a sectoral approach for natural resource based development programme are obvious. The distribution of resources and their utilization have proceeded over time in an integrated way which cannot be fully appraised through sectoral analysis. The analysis fails to provide an insight in to the linkages between different socio-economic groups and the way these relate to natural resources and its governance and management institutions. For sustainable use and development of natural resources, the customarily followed rules evolved historically, mediating the relation between various groups and natural resources are in regular conflict with institutions formed and backed by state agencies founded on sectoral understanding of natural resources.
