The Forest Rights Act (FRA), officially known as the Scheduled Tribes & Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, was a significant legislation passed during the first United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government in India. This landmark act aimed to rectify the historical injustices faced by tribal populations and forest-dwellers who had long been denied their traditional rights due to the conversion of their dwelling places into government-controlled forest areas. Even after India gained independence, this practice persisted, resulting in the tribal people becoming encroachers on their own ancestral lands.
The enactment of the Forest Rights Act was a response to the demands of tribal organizations, social activists, and scholars who advocated for justice and empowerment of the marginalized communities. It aimed to provide a fair deal for the tribal population by recognizing and safeguarding their traditional rights over the forest areas they had inhabited for generations.
However, to assess the true impact of the Act, it is essential to conduct a systematic study and analysis of its implementation at the ground level. This includes examining the governance structure established around the Forest Rights Act, 2006, the legal and administrative challenges faced during its execution, and other relevant aspects.
