Abstract:
|
"Progress in programme villages is no different though a significant amount of planning and capacity building was achieved under the project.As an output from the project, following are the salient features and questions that have come out from the project as mentioned below:
1. How to make balance between land se changes and local hydro ecology and issues related to livestock and grazing.
2. There is an urgent need to educate the people regarding the provisions of the act.
3. Not only Individual rights but Community Rights should also be focused upon.
4. Ecological aspects should be taken into account while allocating land titles as this act has the potential of getting transformed into a land distribution scheme.
5. Role of JFM Committees should be clarified.
6. Role of the Forest Department should be that of Facilitation/Sensitization and Verification of the claims through their expertise.
7. Recognition of habitation of Other Forest Dwelling Communities.
8. Shall the 'adhikar patra' be entered into the revenue records?
9. Technology (satellite mapping, GIS) needs to be harnessed to demarcate boundaries.
10. Should we look at this phenomenon of settling claims as a one-stop activity or an ongoing process?
11. How to respond to changing macro-micro landscape (forest land being used for cultivation).
12. Lastly Are We (Communiy--State--Civil Society) prepared for planning ecologically sound land use and environmentally sustainable practices?"
