Revenue Villages but there are 34 villages, which are shown as unsurveyed village.Forest Department treats these villages as encroachers, whereas records exist whichshow that most of these tribal settlements are very old and were never surveyed. Asper WPA, 1972, these villagers are not entitled to any compensation, and neither arethose people who have been cultivating land not regularized in their names (andwhich should have been recorded in their name as per existing law).5. Non-recognition of Rights over Land in Survey and Settlement:This applies mainly to the practice of shifting cultivation, traditionally practiced bylarge number of tribal communities in Orissa. Even though many princely statescondoned and even legalized shifting cultivation, the post independence statutes onland totally delegitimised it, and therefore in all shifting cultivation areas, the land onhill slopes was designated as Government land, even though these areas were beingused for shifting cultivation. The estimates of shifting cultivation in Orissa range from5000 sq. km. to 37,000 sq. km, a substantial part of the forested parts of Orissa. As theshifting cultivation land have been settled as Government land, declaration ofsanctuaries means that the large number of tribals who depend on shifting cultivationin sanctuary areas are summarily evicted, creating major conflicts and misery.(Kotgarh, Karlapat, Sunabeda, Lakhari sanctuaries)6. Non-recognition of Customary Use:Most of the customary uses of the local inhabitants on forests (including other naturalresources like water) have not been codified or recorded in any record of rights.Nistar rights are a legacy of colonial period wherein limited rights were given overforest produce, mainly to landowning families. Post independence there has been noeffort to redefine or formalize customary uses as per actual practice. Thus the existingrights systems don’t even start to cover the customary or actual use of naturalresources in any area. However, these uses or dependence are a major source oflivelihood and subsistence for a large number of poorest people, including PrimitiveTribal groups. Declaration of protected areas with restrictions on entry and forestproduce collection, means that the livelihoods are taken away without compensationor alternatives.134
In wildlife policies and laws concessions are given to residents to enjoy bonafide usesof forest products. But not mentioned any difference between bonafide andcommercial use.7. Lack of Final Settlement of Claims:In most PAs in Orissa, the settlement of claims and rights as laid down in Sections 19-26A of WL Act, 1972 hasn’t taken place. Only one PA has been finally notified. All theother PAs are at different stages of notifications. However, the WildlifeAdministration, taking the plea of the provision on intention of declaration ofprotected area leading to suspension of rights even in case of non-completion ofproceedings of determination and acquisition of rights [Section 25 A of Wildlife(Amendment) Act, 2002], has clamped down on the people living inside theboundaries of the PAs. This perversion of natural justice is against the spirit of law aswell as constitution, as many of these processes of settlement have been pending formore than a decade.These deficiencies need to be investigated and used to challenge the State’s promotionof an exclusionary conservation model. One of the most serious livelihood issues haveemerged from the ban on NTFP collection in PAs as per the Supreme Court orderdated 14th February 2000(WP No. 202/95).8. Issues of Forest Villages:In many protected areas forest department itself established forest villages. The mainobjective behind establishing these villages was to ensure availability of labour forcarrying out various forestry works such as forest line demarcation, extinguishingforest fires, construction of forest roads etc. forest department allotted land to thesevillagers at that time for homestead and agriculture for meeting their subsistenceneeds. But till now these villages are not converted in to revenue villages.9. Non-Conversion of Forest Villages into Revenue Villages Deprived theInhabitants from the Govt. Programmes & Schemes:135
