Grants legal recognition to forest-dwelling communities’ traditional rights over land and resources. It aims to correct historical injustice from colonial-era forest laws. Gram Sabhas propose claims, and district committees finalize them. The Act covers individual rights (cultivation) and community rights (grazing, minor forest produce). By involving locals in conservation, it aligns environmental sustainability with livelihood security. However, complex procedures, bureaucratic hurdles, and incomplete land surveys hamper swift implementation. Opponents worry about deforestation if land is mismanaged. Supporters claim it empowers tribals and fosters participatory forest governance, reinforcing constitutional commitments to social justice and decentralized resource management.
