Parkinson’s Law of Triviality states that the time spent on any item on a committee’s agenda will be inversely proportional to its significance. This seems to be happening with the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF). The minister has moved a bill in the Rajya Sabha that seeks to amend the Indian Forest Act (IFA) of 1927. One would think that when a colonial-period forest law is being amended for the first time in 65 years, the government would try to bring it in line with the stated goals of the National Forest Policy of 1988 (NFP88) and the Forest Rights Act (FRA) of 2006.
