Abstract

 The adivasi right on forest was not recognized during colonial period neither was it ensured after India got freedom. The conflict between the state and communities over the use of forest resources was started with the passing of  Indian Forest Act, 1865. The passing of the Scheduled Tribes (Recognition of Forest Right) Bill as Forest Right Act  was considered as victory of indigenous people. Under the Forest Act, 2006 the forest dwelling scheduled tribes receive ownership rights over land and forest. But the conservationists, wild life activist and forest department remained opposed to the provision of Forest Right Act in the National Parks and Sanctuaries. In 2008 the Forest Right Act enacted with a provision to create wild life habitat for conservation of wild life and denying the right of forest dwelling tribal communities within critical wild life habitat. As per provision of the Act, under section 4 sub-section 2 of chapter-iii, the forest department has begun widespread evictions across the country. Now the question arises what extent Recognition of  Forest Right Act is useful to enjoy their right over forest. Therefore the paper aims to examine the  conflict between the right of the tribal people and conservation of forest resources in relation to Forest  Policy and Recognition of Forest  Right Act.
