THE latest status report of the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs on the implementation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA) of 2006 confirms the general perception that the law has not benefitted the majority of the country’s forest dwellers. The report shows that more than half of the claims filed by the tribal people and other forest dwellers for land titles under FRA have been rejected. What’s more, though FRA has the provision for recognising rights for land parcels of up to four hectares (ha) to each legitimate claimant, the average size for which titles have been granted is only 1.4 ha.
