Abstract

Social Sciences
Awareness and Knowledge, Community Participation, Forest Rights Act (FRA), Tribal Empowerment, Sustainable Governance
The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, represents a significant step toward addressing historical injustices faced by tribal and forest-dependent communities. By recognizing their rightful claims over forest land and resources, the Act aims to empower these marginalized groups, promote sustainable livelihoods, and ensure participatory forest governance. This study evaluates the awareness, knowledge, and perception of forest-dwelling communities regarding the provisions and processes of the Act, highlighting its impact and implementation challenges. The study adopts a descriptive research methodology, utilizing interviews with 300 respondents to gather comprehensive data. Through analysis conducted using SPSS software, the findings reveal critical gaps in awareness, with most respondents unaware of their rights and legal procedures under the Act. Challenges such as perceived financial barriers, harassment by forest officials, and limited access to forest resources remain significant hindrances to the Act's implementation. This research underscores the importance of targeted interventions to raise awareness, simplify procedures, and foster community engagement. It highlights the need for greater accountability and inclusivity to ensure the Act fulfils its potential as a tool for justice and equity. By addressing these challenges, the FRA can transform tribal communities into empowered stakeholders in sustainable forest governance.
