🔆 Model Question – Indian Society (Tribal Development)
Q. Does tribal development in India centre around two axes, those of displacement and rehabilitation? Give your opinion. (250 words)
📍 Introduction
Tribal development in India has largely revolved around the twin axes of displacement and rehabilitation. While development projects aim at economic growth, they have often resulted in the marginalisation of tribal communities, making these issues central to their welfare discourse.
📍 Impact of Displacement on Tribal Communities
✅ Tribal regions rich in minerals, forests, and water resources have witnessed large projects like dams, mining, industries, and infrastructure.
✅ Adivasis form a disproportionately high share of development-induced displaced persons.
✅ Displacement disrupts their cultural, spiritual and livelihood link with land (jal-jangal-zameen).
✅ It leads to loss of traditional occupations, food insecurity, migration and social disintegration.
📍 Legal Framework and Safeguards
✅ Fifth & Sixth Schedules provide autonomy over land and resources.
✅ Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA) empowers Gram Sabhas in decision-making.
✅ Forest Rights Act, 2006 (FRA) recognises individual and community forest rights.
✅ Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 mandates consent, compensation and R&R provisions.
📍 Challenges in Implementation
✅ Weak enforcement of PESA and FRA limits community participation.
✅ Rehabilitation packages often provide inadequate compensation and fragile livelihoods, causing pauperisation.
✅ Bhuria Commission stressed effective PESA implementation.
✅ Xaxa Committee (2013) identified displacement as a core cause of tribal deprivation and recommended making tribes partners in development.
📍 Conclusion
Though displacement and rehabilitation remain key axes of tribal development, they reflect historical injustice and policy gaps. A shift towards a rights-based, participatory and sustainable model — ensuring free, prior and informed consent (FPIC), effective legal implementation and livelihood security — is essential for genuine tribal empowerment and inclusive growth.
