The proposals of conversion of forest villages into revenue villages are still lying with GOI.But in 13.11.2000 and 9.2.2004 the Hon’ble Supreme Court has passed interim orders nodereservation of forest/Sanctuaries/ National Parks shall be effected, therefore it is verydifficult to convert these villages in to revenue villages.As these villages are not being converted into Revenue Village, which deprives the inhabitantsof the benefits of various government programmes and schemes like old age pension, widowpension, Anthodaya Yojana and Annapurna Yojana, though all the households in thesevillages are coming under BPL category.10. No Legal Entitlement over the Allotted Land:Though forest department allotted land from forestland at different periods for theirsurvival, but in most of the cases, forest department didn't issued any patta to any ofthe households residing in the village. As villagers do not have record of rights overthe land cultivated & resided by them they are not able to access any loan from thenationalized banks. During the emergency situations, they have been taking loansfrom the local people at a higher rate of interest. Even for obtaining bail, they havebeen depending upon others for which the ‘Jamindars’ (the person who takes bail)demands huge money in lieu of bail. Even these families are also being deprived fromgetting of the caste certificates 9 . As these villages are coming under the category offorest villages, the R.I is not issuing residential proof, which is a prerequisitecondition for obtaining caste certificate.11. IMPACT OF SUPREME COURT ORDER ON NTFP ON LIVELIHOODS OFPEOPLE:The protected areas are located in the regions, which constitute large population oftribal communities. Data collected through multifarious studies in many parts ofOrissa show that a major part of livelihood and subsistence of forest dwellers andtribal people comes from NTFP economy. The NTFPs collection has immensesignificance in the livelihood of forest dwelling communities. The contribution of136
NTFPs in the total annual household income ranges between 50-60%. In case ofnomadic tribe, their livelihood is 100% based on NTFP. (See Annexure-).The order of Supreme Court restricting NTFP collection in protected areas followedby the enactment of Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2002 has extremely seriousimplications for the natives in and round 18 proposed protected areas. As a result oflegal restrictions on collections of forest products, people are getting increasinglydependent on wage labour for eking out their sustenance. In many cases theserestrictions have compelled the forest dwellers to revert to illegal collection of suchforest products, which makes them easy victims to rent seeking by petty officials.The Order of Supreme Court (dated 14th February 2000) restricting NTFP collection inProtected areas followed by the enactment of Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2002 (seesection 29) has extremely serious implications for the tribal and forest dwellers livingin and around the 18 Protected areas. More communities are likely to face the adverseconsequences once the 18 proposed protected areas (which are in the pipelines) in thestate get finally approved. As reported in a local Daily (Prajatantra, dated 17th July2002) NTFPs worth Rupees 35 lakh used to be traded annually from SunabedaSanctuary which has come to a halt with the imposition of restriction. Consideringthat income from sale of NTFPs can contribute more than 50% in case of the pooresttribals, these policy decisions contravene the fundamental rights to life and livelihood.For example, in the Simlipal Tiger Reserve area, the villagers residing inside thesanctuary are restricted from collecting and carrying NTFPs such as seeds of Karanj,Tamarind, Kusum, leaves of Date Palm, Sal resin, Siali fibre, Honey, Arrowroot etc.through the gate of the Simlipal Tiger Reserve despite the fact that some of theseNTFP items are collected by the people from their private lands. Similarly, collectionof NTFPs like Nalia grass, Honey, Bahumruga creeper etc. has been banned inBhitarkanika National Park creating immense difficulties for the ST and SC people ofDangamal, Khamarasahi, Hariharpur, Okilapal and several other villages. Closure ofKendu leaf Phadis in the Sunabeda and Satakosia Sanctuary has deprived thousandsof poor pluckers from their one of the most significant income source. In certain areas,137
