The decomposition of income inequality by various income sources allows us to find out whether forest source plays any important role to improve income distributional pattern among these forest fringe households. The decomposition of income inequality by income source is given by table 5 and figure 1. The income distribution is similar within rich and medium households compared to medium household having different estimates. The question is; does forest income have any role to alleviate inequality between households? In the Lorenz curve, the inequality to the total household income is represented by the departure of the curve from the straight diagonal line, which is the line of equal distribution of income.
