The present study highlights the relevance of comprehensive policy approaches in transformation of the exonomically and socially marginalized groups engaged in Jhumming to commercial cultivation of natural rubber (NR) in Tripura. The better livelihood pattern of the NR growers has been reflected in terms of self-sustaining occupational shift. The previous land use pattern of the surveyed NR cultivators revealed that majority of the area presently under NR cultivation was previously barren land (66;). The study suggests replication of the NR model in North and Dahalai districts of Tripura. This success model of Tripura could also be replicated in other regions of the country having similar socio-economic and agro-climatic conditions to ensure rural upliftment and livelihood security of rural peasantry.
