The study was conducted in Buffer Zone area of Chitwan National Park selecting Ghailaghari CFUGs of Bharatpur Municipality and Bagmara CFUGs of Ratnanagar Municipality, Chitwan District in the year April 2019 to get information about the role of gender in natural resources management. Total sampling household were 60. The primary data were collected through semi structured questionnaire and collected information were tabulated in SPSS Version 21.
