in the context of high growth driven economy, the concept of social exclusion and inclusion acquired significance in academic and public policy circles. Most of studies on social exclusion focused on urban based exclusion and rural developmental interventions are not being given due attention. This article attempts to assess the performance of community forest management scheme from the prescriptive of social seclusion. Attempt is being made to indentify the multiple sources and process of social exclusion in the operational process of community forest management scheme in Andhra Pradesh and thereby locating the spaces for inclusion of excluded. The general trend is sample villages is that social exclusion of people is explicitly visible and this is product of collaborative effort of the nexus between forest department, and dominant social groups in village.
