| Abstract: | The study sought to investigate the status
of traditional Sal leaf plate making,
its present livelihood contributions and future prospects through value
addition by mechanized moulding among ethnic households engaged in the
profession in Bundu block of Ranchi district in Jharkhand, India. The sample
villages were selected using random sampling technique and all the households owning cottage industries of Sal leaf plate making were selected as
representative respondents for household survey employing purposive sampling
technique. The data on production, seasonality,
employment generation, income earning and marketing were collected
through personal structured interviews and direct observations. Value addition
by mechanized pressing of raw Sal leaf plates may increase income
by  24100/ household/ yr (96.40
%) and employment by 50 mandays/ household/ yr (12.50 %). Hence, it may be a
crucial intervention to accelerate forest resources based livelihood
diversifications, promotion and development.
