Try below code

    String date1 = "31/12/2011";
    SimpleDateFormat form = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy");
    java.util.Date d1 = null;
    Calendar tdy1;

    try {
        d1 = form.parse(date1);
    } catch (java.text.ParseException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

    tdy1 = Calendar.getInstance();
    System.out.println("tdy mnthhhhhhhhhhh " + tdy1.get(Calendar.MONTH));
    tdy1.setTime(d1);

    System.out.println("Month of date1= " + tdy1.get(Calendar.MONTH));

Note" Calendar.MONTH is return integer value and it is start from 0 to 11 means 0=JANUARY and 11=DECEMBER

Your SimpleDateFormat is initialized wrong. Small m is for minutes of hour. You are looking for big M, Month of Year. http://download.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/text/SimpleDateFormat.html
