abstract: India, one of the world’s largest coal producers, has important coal mines in forests which have been home to tribal groups and nonhuman life forms. While these social-ecological systems have withstood the test of time, their survival in the race for development is another matter altogether. 
This thesis seeks to unravel the linkages between institutional actors and outcomes in coal mining in Indian forests. Comparing the cases of Jharia, in Jharkhand and Singrauli, in Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh (both important coal fields), it analyses patterns in the linkages between different factors and outcomes. The thesis concludes that systemic issues such as fragmentation in policy-making, lack of implementation, and the presence of a very top-down approach to governance are among the issues that must be addressed to safeguard Indian forest systems in the future.
