He made these remarks while speaking in a meeting to look into the progress made in each district about the verification of such claims and granting of rights to the eligible people as per this Act.

The meeting besides Principal Secretary, Forests was attended by Principal Chief Conservator of Forests (PCCF); Secretary Revenue; Deputy Commissioners and other concerned.

While speaking in this meeting the Chief Secretary maintained that this act aims at empowering the tribal forest dwelling communities who had historically been inhabiting such lands for centuries without having any legal rights over it.

Dulloo impressed upon the concerned Deputy Commissioners to certify within a month’s time that all claims submitted have been verified and settled on merit. He asked for resolving each of them as per the provisions of this act and make this task a time-bound one for its logical closure.

On the occasion it was revealed by the Principal Secretary, Forests, Dheeraj Gupta thatthis act envisages recognizing and vesting the rights of occupation on forest lands by Forest Dwelling Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (OTFDs).

He further gave out that this act provides for Individual Forest Rights (IFRs) like right to hold or live in forest land for habitation or self-cultivation. It also recognizes Community Forest Rights (CFRs) like grazing, collect/dispose off NTPF, fishing access to waterbodies, pathways, besides other rights.
