GSEasyPrelims 2021Indian Polity

At the national level, which ministry is the nodal agency to ensure effective implementation of the Scheduled Tribes and other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006?

Explanation

The Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA) is the designated nodal agency at the national level for the implementation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006. While the Act pertains to forest land, it is primarily a social welfare and rights-based legislation aimed at correcting historical injustices faced by forest-dwelling communities. Consequently, the responsibility for its implementation and the issuance of operational guidelines lies with MoTA to ensure the protection of tribal interests and the recognition of individual and community forest rights, rather than the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change which focuses on conservation.
