Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:-
(a) the number of claims filed for recognition of forest rights and the titles distributed under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, State/ UT-wise; (b) whether the Act mandated to protect the rights of tribals is serving the purpose for which it was enacted in the present format/ conditions; (c) if not, whether the Government proposes to amend it; (d) if so, the reasons therefor and the details thereof; and (e) the time by which these amendments are likely to be made?
MINISTER OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS (V. KISHORE CHANDRA DEO)
(a) to (e): A statement is laid on the Table of the House. Statement referred to in reply to parts (a) to (e) of Lok Sabha Starred Question No. 108 (8th position) for answer on 17.08.2012 tabled by Shri Arjun Charan Sethi and Shri Pakuri Lal regarding “Forest Rights and Titles” (a): As on 31-07-2012, the number of claims filed for the recognition of forest rights and number of titles distributed under the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, are 32,28,887 and 12,68,766 respectively. The State/UT wise details are at the Annexure. (b) to (e) : The objective of the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 is to remedy the historical injustice done to the forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers. The Act has substantially met this mandate through distribution of 12,68,766 titles to the eligible claimants under the Act. However, several factors have come to the notice of the Ministry that are impeding the implementation of the Act in its letter and spirit and constraining the flow of intended benefits of this watershed legislation to the eligible forest dwellers. The recognition of community rights such as rights to minor forest produce, grazing areas, water bodies, habitats of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups, pastoralists’ routes remains very low. The rate of rejection of claims is also high. The Ministry accordingly undertook an exercise to arrive at certain provisions/ steps for facilitating robust implementation of the Act. Pursuant to the said exercise, the Ministry has issued guidelines to the State Governments/ Union Territory Administrations on 12.7.2012 for improved implementation of the Act. These guidelines pertain to process of recognition of rights, evidence requirements, rights to minor forest produce, community rights, community forest resource rights, protection against eviction, diversion of forest lands and forced relocation, awareness raising, monitoring and grievance redressal. To facilitate efficacious translation of objectives of the Act, the Ministry has initiated the process of amendments in the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Rules, 2008. The draft Rules titled “The Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Amendment Rules, 2012 has been published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II - Section 3 - Sub-section
(i), dated 19.7.2012 for inviting objections and suggestions within one month of its publication from all the persons likely to be affected thereby. The proposed amendments to the Rules relate to laying down a procedure for identification of hamlets or settlements and process of their consolidation, increasing the mandatory Scheduled Tribe membership of Forest Rights Committees from the present one-third to two-third, reducing the present requirement of quorum of two-third in the gram sabha meetings to one-half, clarifying that the term ‘bona fide livelihood needs’ includes fulfillment of livelihood needs of self and family including the sale of surplus produce arising out of exercise of rights, allowing transportation of minor forest produce within and outside forest area through locally appropriate means of transport by gatherers or their cooperatives or associations or federations, laying down the process for recognition of rights including community rights, insertion of new Claim Forms for Rights to Community Forest Resource and Title Form for Community Forest Resources etc. The guidelines issued by the Ministry on 12.7.2012 and the proposed amendments to the Rules, when notified, would lead to better implementation of the Act at the ground level. At present, there is no proposal to amend the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.

SHRI DINESH CHANDRA YADAV
Will the Minister of TRIBAL AFFAIRS be pleased to state:-
(a) Whether earning livelihood based on forest is becoming difficult for the tribals in the country over the last few years; (b) if so, the reaction of the Government thereto; (c) Whether the Government proposes to share the forest land with tribals to preserve and to provide livelihood to these tribals; (d) if so, the details thereof; and (e) the action taken/being taken by the Government in this direction?
MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS (SHRI MAHADEO SINGH KHANDELA)
(a) & (b): Minor Forest Produce provides essential food, nutrition, medicinal needs and also cash income to the large number of tribal who are living in and around the forest. However, the Minor Forest Produce economy provides poor returns to gatherers. The issue of providing fair price to the gatherers for the Minor Forest Produce has engaged the attention of the Government in recent years.

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF TRIBAL AFFAIRS(SHRI MAHADEO SINGH KHANDELA)
(a) & (b): The Ministry of Tribal Affairs enacted the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 with the objective of remedying the historical injustice done to the forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers. The Act has substantially met this mandate through distribution of 12,68,766 titles to the eligible claimants under the Act till 31st July, 2012. However, the number of community rights recognized remains low and the rate of rejection of claims is more than fifty percent. (c) & (d): Complaints have been received over a period of time concerning denial of rights and eviction of tribals from forest etc. These complaints have been sent to respective States/UTs for taking necessary action as the implementation of this Act lies with the States/UTs. (e), (f) & (g): Yes, Madam. Several factors have come to the notice of the Ministry that are impeding the implementation of the Act in its letter and spirit and constraining the flow of intended benefits of this watershed legislation to the eligible forest dwellers. The recognition of community rights such as rights to minor forest produce, grazing areas, water bodies, habitats of Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups, pastoralists’ routes remains very low. The rate of rejection of claims is also high. The Ministry accordingly undertook an exercise to arrive at certain provisions/ steps for facilitating robust implementation of the Act. Pursuant to the said exercise, the Ministry has issued guidelines to the State Governments/ Union Territory Administrations on 12.7.2012 for improved implementation of the Act. These guidelines pertain to process of recognition of rights, evidence requirements, rights to minor forest produce, community rights, community forest resource rights, protection against eviction, diversion of forest lands and forced relocation, awareness raising, monitoring and grievance redressal. To facilitate efficacious translation of objectives of the Act, the Ministry has initiated the process of amendments in the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Rules, 2008. The draft Rules titled “The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Amendment Rules, 2012 has been published in the Gazette of India, Extraordinary, Part II - Section 3 - Sub-section (i), dated 19.7.2012 for inviting objections and suggestions within one month of its publication from all the persons likely to be affected thereby. The proposed amendments to the Rules relate to laying down a procedure for identification of hamlets or settlements and process of their consolidation, increasing the mandatory Scheduled Tribe membership of Forest Rights Committees from the present one-third to two-third, reducing the present requirement of quorum of two-third in the gram sabha meetings to one-half, clarifying that the term ‘bona fide livelihood needs’ includes fulfillment of livelihood needs of self and family, including the sale of surplus produce arising out of exercise of rights, allowing transportation of minor forest produce within and outside forest area through locally appropriate means of transport by gatherers or their cooperatives or associations or federations laying down the process for recognition of rights, including community rights, insertion of new Claim Forms for Rights to Community Forest Resource and Title Form for Community Forest Resources etc.
The guidelines issued by the Ministry on 12.7.2012 and the proposed amendments to the Rules, when notified, would lead to better implementation of the Act at the ground level. At present, there is no proposal to amend the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006.

1. Arunachal Pradesh Yes Yes ------Unlike the other States of Indian Union where the Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers are in minority and socio economically marginalized by other dominant non-tribal population, the State of Arunachal Pradesh is wholly domiciled by various ethnic tribal groups whose land and forests are specifically identified with natural boundaries of hillocks, ranges, rivers and tributaries.
Barring few pockets of land under wildlife sanctuaries, reserved forests, most of the land in entire State is community land. Territorial boundaries of land and forest belonging to one community or tribes from the others are also identified in the same line leaving no scopes for any dispute over the possession of land forest or water bodies among the tribes. Therefore, the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest
Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 in true sense does not have much relevance to the State of Arunachal Pradesh.
2. Bihar Yes Yes - Yes Yes Yes 2930 - - - 28 1,644 Less number of filing of claims in the State is because there are not much forest areas in the States
3. Goa Yes Yes - Yes Yes Yes ------No reasons indicated by the State Government.

Jharkhand Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes 42,00 23,61 17,046 16,351 15,296 16,958 In Jharkhand, the Chota Nagpur 3 7 Tenancy Act and Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act already take care of the rights and ownership issues of tribals on the forest land and these rights were settled when the Indian Forest Act, 1927 came into force. Therefore, there are less number of claims filed under the Act.
7. Manipur ------In Manipur, the tribal communities and tribal chiefs are already holding ownership of forest land as their ancestral land in non- Reserved Forest Area. Therefore, implement-ation of the Forest Rights Act is perceived minimal in Manipur. 8. Meghalaya Yes Yes No ------96% of the forest land in the State is owned by the clans/ communities/ individuals. Implement-ation of the Act has, therefore, limited scope.
9. Mizoram No Yes Yes - No Yes ------The Act was to be approved by the State Legislative Assembly as per the Article 371(G) of the Constitution. In the sitting on 29.10.2009 of
its Fourth Session, the Sixth Legislative Assembly of Mizoram has resolved that the Forest Rights Act shall be adopted in the entire State of Mizoram with effect from 31.12.2009. The same has also been notified by the Government of Mizoram on 3.3.2010. 10. Nagaland ------The land holding system and the village system of the Naga people is peculiar in that the people are the land owners. Hence, the Act per se may not be applicable to the State of Nagaland. However, a Committee has been constituted to examine the applicability of the Act in Nagaland as per provision of Art. 371(A) of Constitution of India. 11. Sikkim ------The State Government has issued a notification dated 28.1.2008 regarding constitution of an Expert Committee for identification of Critical Wildlife habitats in Protected Areas (PAs) and has also constituted the various Committees under the Act. However, in Sikkim there are no forest dwelling STs and other Traditional Forest Dwellers in the true sense of the terms. Most of the STs of Sikkim hold revenue land in their own name and they are not solely dependent on the forests for their livelihood.
12. Tamil Nadu Yes Yes Yes - - - 21,78 - - 3723 3723 - Though 3,723 claims have been 1 ready approved by the District Level Committees for issue of titles but these titles could not be distributed due to a restrictive order of the Madras High Court. Title deeds would be distributed after the vacation of the restrictive order of the High Court.
13. Uttarakhand Yes Yes - - Yes Yes 182 170 - - - 1 Till now, all the claims filed under the Act have been of other traditional forest dwellers only who
have not been able to prove their stay in the forest land for the last 75 years. Till date, no claims in Uttarakhand has been found to be valid.
14. A &N Islands Yes Yes Yes Yes Under Yes ------In A&N Islands there are no (except process non-tribal forest dwellers as defined SLMC) in the Act. The area inhabited by the Scheduled Tribes of A&N Islands has been declared as reserved area under the A&N Islands Protection of Aboriginal Tribes (Regulation), 1956. The interests of the tribals in the land situated in the reserved areas are fully protected under the provision of the regulation. The tribal reserves have been notified as reserved or protected forest reserve.

16. Dadra & Nagar Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes ------Despite notices in advance and Haveli propaganda, it has been difficult to hold gram sabha meetings in absence of quorum of 2/3 of all members of such gram sabhas. All out efforts are being made for constitution of Forest Rights Committees in all the gram sabhas.
17. Laksha-dweep ------There are no terrestrial forests and no forest tribes or traditional forest dwellers in Lakshadweep. 18. Puducherry -

The forest rights of the forest dwelling Scheduled Tribes and other traditional forest dwellers recognized under the Act inter alia include(i) the right of ownership, access to collect, use, and dispose of minor forest produce which has been traditionally collected within or outside village boundaries, and (ii) right to protect, regenerate or conserve or manage any community forest resource which they have been traditionally protecting and conserving for sustainable use.
(b) to (d): Yes, Madam. There is some conflict between the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and the Indian Forest Act, 1927. Section 2 (i) of the Forest Rights Act, 2006 defines the term “minor forest produce” to inter alia include bamboo, brush wood, stumps and cane, whereas Section 2(7) of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 defines bamboos as trees, which also includes palms, stumps, brush wood and canes. The Ministry of Environment & Forests, at the level of the then Minister of State (I/C) Environment & Forests, has issued an advisory to the all Chief Ministers on 21.3.2011, bringing to their notice the legal provisions of the Forest Rights Act, 2006 and requested them to direct the State Forest Departments to treat bamboo as a minor forest produce and respect the rights accrued to communities as per the Forest Rights Act, 2006.
