Grazing in forest land is an important service provided by the Indian forests to the local population. The increasing number of cattle and receding forest areas have created problems. Professional Kathiawadi graziers from Gujarat have migrated to some parts of Maharashtra where they have found new and profitable pastures in the form of dairy development schemes. The pedigree cattle reared by these professional graziers have considerably augmented the milk production and supply in the areas where they operate. At the same time, the local forest areas cannot bear the burden of these immigrant cattle, and the local people feel left out and displaced. The case brings out the conflicts and problems of forest management vis-a-vis milk production.
