&lt;em&gt;It contends that the draft policy released in March undermines the rights of Adivasis and other forest dwellers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Union tribal affairs ministry has criticised the environment ministry&amp;rsquo;s draft National Forest Policy, contending that it will promote the privatisation of forests and undermine the rights of communities who live in them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter to the environment secretary CK Mishra on June 19, Leena Nair, the tribal affairs secretary, noted that the environment ministry does not have &amp;ldquo;exclusive jurisdiction&amp;rdquo; to frame policies related to forests. The environment ministry is required to consult the tribal affairs ministry as well as forest dwellers before drafting the policy, she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The idea to bring out a forest policy is welcome, unfortunately, the policy has disregarded the traditional custodians and conservatives of the forests, namely, tribals,&amp;rdquo; Nair wrote, adding that there was a &amp;ldquo;general impression&amp;rdquo; that the draft policy &amp;ldquo;gives a thrust to increased privatisation, industrialisation and diversion of forest resources for commercialisation&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She added: &amp;ldquo;It is also felt that the public private partnership models for afforestation and agroforestry detailed in the policy will open up the areas over which tribals and forest dwellers have legal rights under FRA,&amp;rdquo; referring to the Forest Rights Act of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The draft National Forest Policy 2018 was released in March to replace the existing National Forest Policy of 1988. While the existing policy explicitly bans the private sector from growing, harvesting or selling trees in state-owned natural forests, the draft policy allows such activity under the private-public partnership model. It thus falls foul of the Forest Rights Act, which lays down that traditional lands of the Adivasis and other forest dwellers cannot be used for any purpose without their consent.&lt;br /&gt;

The Union tribal affairs ministry has criticised the environment ministry&amp;rsquo;s draft National Forest Policy, contending that it will promote the privatisation of forests and undermine the rights of communities who live in them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter to the environment secretary CK Mishra on June 19, Leena Nair, the tribal affairs secretary, noted that the environment ministry does not have &amp;ldquo;exclusive jurisdiction&amp;rdquo; to frame policies related to forests. The environment ministry is required to consult the tribal affairs ministry as well as forest dwellers before drafting the policy, she said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
She added: &amp;ldquo;It is also felt that the public private partnership models for afforestation and agroforestry detailed in the policy will open up the areas over which tribals and forest dwellers have legal rights under FRA,&amp;rdquo; referring to the Forest Rights Act of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;It contends that the draft policy released in March undermines the rights of Adivasis and other forest dwellers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Union tribal affairs ministry has criticised the environment ministry&amp;rsquo;s draft National Forest Policy, contending that it will promote the privatisation of forests and undermine the rights of communities who live in them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a letter to the environment secretary CK Mishra on June 19, Leena Nair, the tribal affairs secretary, noted that the environment ministry does not have &amp;ldquo;exclusive jurisdiction&amp;rdquo; to frame policies related to forests. The environment ministry is required to consult the tribal affairs ministry as well as forest dwellers before drafting the policy, she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The idea to bring out a forest policy is welcome, unfortunately, the policy has disregarded the traditional custodians and conservatives of the forests, namely, tribals,&amp;rdquo; Nair wrote, adding that there was a &amp;ldquo;general impression&amp;rdquo; that the draft policy &amp;ldquo;gives a thrust to increased privatisation, industrialisation and diversion of forest resources for commercialisation&amp;rdquo;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She added: &amp;ldquo;It is also felt that the public private partnership models for afforestation and agroforestry detailed in the policy will open up the areas over which tribals and forest dwellers have legal rights under FRA,&amp;rdquo; referring to the Forest Rights Act of 2006.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The draft National Forest Policy 2018 was released in March to replace the existing National Forest Policy of 1988. While the existing policy explicitly bans the private sector from growing, harvesting or selling trees in state-owned natural forests, the draft policy allows such activity under the private-public partnership model. It thus falls foul of the Forest Rights Act, which lays down that traditional lands of the Adivasis and other forest dwellers cannot be used for any purpose without their consent.&lt;br /&gt;

Tribal affairs ministry opposes Centre's draft National Forest Policy for its 'privatisation thrust' -Kumar Sambhav Shrivastava

-Scroll.in It contends that the draft policy released in March undermines the rights of Adivasis and other forest dwellers. The Union tribal affairs ministry has criticised the environment ministry’s draft National Forest Policy, contending that it will promote the privatisation of forests and undermine the rights of communities who live in them. In a letter to the environment secretary CK Mishra on June 19, Leena Nair, the tribal affairs secretary, noted that the environment ministry does not have “exclusive jurisdiction” to frame policies related to forests. The environment ministry is required to consult the tribal affairs ministry as well as forest dwellers before drafting the policy, she said. “The idea to bring out a forest policy is welcome, unfortunately, the policy has disregarded the traditional custodians and conservatives of the forests, namely, tribals,” Nair wrote, adding that there was a “general impression” that the draft policy “gives a thrust to increased privatisation, industrialisation and diversion of forest resources for commercialisation”. She added: “It is also felt that the public private partnership models for afforestation and agroforestry detailed in the policy will open up the areas over which tribals and forest dwellers have legal rights under FRA,” referring to the Forest Rights Act of 2006. The draft National Forest Policy 2018 was released in March to replace the existing National Forest Policy of 1988. While the existing policy explicitly bans the private sector from growing, harvesting or selling trees in state-owned natural forests, the draft policy allows such activity under the private-public partnership model. It thus falls foul of the Forest Rights Act, which lays down that traditional lands of the Adivasis and other forest dwellers cannot be used for any purpose without their consent.
