The role of eucalypts for planting in social forestry programs in discussed from the point of view of a non-governmental organization concerned with the welfare of rural people who depend on common and wastelands of their livelihood. Plantations carried out under Social Forestry programs have provided industrial wood rather than satisfying the needs of local people for fuel and other forest products. It would be unrealistic and futile to discuss the Eucalyptus issue in isolation. In order to appreciate the various repercussions of problems arising from plantation forestry, it is necessary to view it in a socio-economic context. The Eucalyptus hybrid has been aggressively promoted by the Karnataka Forest Department under the Social Forestry Project.
