A) State Forest Department
B) District Collector / Deputy Commissioner
C) Tahsildar / Block Development Officer /Mandal Revenue Officer
D) Gram Sabha
Correct Answer: D
Solution :
Section C of the Forest Dweller Act provides a transparent three step procedure for deciding on who gets rights. Firstly, the Gram Sabha makes a recommendation- i.e, who has been cultivating land for how long, which minor forest produce is collected; etc. The Gram Sabha plays this role because it is a public body where all people participate and hence is fully democratic and transparent. The Gram Sabha's recommendation goes through two stages of screening committees- the Taluka and the District levels.You need to login to perform this action.
