The Forest Rights Act in Goa is not only assisting tribal communities but is also extending benefits to diverse groups, with active resolution of claims by December 19.

Forest Rights Act beneficiaries in Goa in 2025

Goa's Forest Rights Act garners diverse community benefits beyond tribal aid, with ongoing land claim resolutions led by Chief Minister Sawant, fostering agricultural opportunities.

The Forest Rights Act in Goa extends beyond tribal benefits, aiding various communities through land claims. Chief Minister Pramod Sawant promises resolution by December 19.

The Forest Rights Act is primarily known for protecting the land rights of tribal communities, but it is also benefiting several other groups, covering a wider section of society, in Goa, a senior official has said.
Ajay Ramchandra Gaude, state nodal officer for the implementation of the Act in the coastal state, said that of the 10,136 claims they have received, more than 4,000 have been made by &lsquo;Other Forest Dwellers' (OTFDs).
The Goa government under Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has announced that it will clear all land claims filed under the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, popularly known as the Forest Rights Act, before December 19.
Gaude told PTI Videos that most of the claims have been received from the talukas of Canacona and Dharbandora in South Goa and Sattari in North Goa.
In Sattari, of the 2,460 claims settled so far, only 46 belong to members of the Scheduled Tribe community, while 2,414 have been filed by those from non-ST groups. As far as claims filed by groups as a single entity, no such requests have come from the ST community. However, 22 similar claims have been filed by OTFDs, he said.
According to the official, anybody belonging to any community, caste, or any religion can put in their claims if they live in the forest and depend on forest produce for sustenance.
In Dharbandora taluka, of the 1,704 claims settled, 761 are of tribals, 964 are non-ST beneficiaries. Of the 73 community claims in this taluka, 26 are of ST beneficiaries and 47 are from non-ST groups, the official said.
Gaude said the Forest Rights Act was brought in to help those living in forest areas for years and depending on forest produce.
&ldquo;So, the Forest Rights Act is basically for everyone. There is a misconception that the Forest Rights Act is only for the tribal community. It is not so,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not just the tribal community that is benefiting under the Act. Through these forest rights claims, we are giving &lsquo;sanads&rsquo; (certificates giving right over land) to different communities in the state of Goa,&rdquo; he said.
However, the scene is different in the Canacona taluka, where all the 2,450 individuals whose claims are being settled belong to the ST community.
Vishant Ranganath Khandeparkar, a resident of Codli village in Dharbandora taluka, said his forefathers cultivated their land for more than 100 years.
&ldquo;After them, I am continuing it. Through the Act, we have got the sanad. The government and the forest department have done a good job,&rdquo; said the non-ST beneficiary.
Babita Nagesh Lambor, another non-tribal claimant and resident of Collem village in Dharbandora taluka, said they have been living in forest areas for over a century.
&ldquo;Earlier, we used to grow rice, sugarcane, cashewnut, coconut, and much more. We have got the sanad from the government and subsequently received benefits from the Agriculture Department,&rdquo; she said.

Five people have been detained for using a live cobra while dancing to the tune of 'Main Naagin' song at a marriage procession in Odisha's Mayurbhanj district, police said on Thursday.
A purported video that has gone viral on social media showed 'baraatis' (people from the bridegroom's side) dancing on the streets of Karanjia town on Wednesday night with a snake charmer hired by them displaying the reptile in his bamboo basket with its lid open.
Terrified locals informed the Forest Department, and its personnel reached the spot and rescued the cobra. Five people including the snake charmer were detained for misutilising the reptile, a police officer said.
Questioning is underway and action will be taken under Wildlife Protection Act, 1982, he said.
Snake Helpline convenor Suvendu Mallick said that in the video, the snake seemed frightened due to high decibel music played in the procession.
"The snake charmer must have removed the poisonous teeth of the cobra, which is also illegal. I demand strict action against the bridegroom and his father for allowing such a heinous act. This could be one of the first such cases in the country," he said.

In a shocking video going viral online, a man is seen thrashing and kicking a woman, who has since been identified as a forest ranger in Maharashtra. 
The man, Ramchandra Jankar, is a former Sarpanch of a village in Satara district. His wife, Pratibha Jankar and him are seen kicking and beating Sindhu Sanap and her husband Suryaji Thombre, both forest rangers in Maharashtra's Satara. 
Sanap, who is believed to be three months pregnant was repeatedly kicked in her stomach, causing outrage among social media users. 
The Jankar couple fled the scene soon after beating up Sanap and her husband. A complaint was filed by Sanap in Satara Taluka police station and a case has been registered against the couple. 
As per local reports, Ramchandra Jankar repeatedly demanded money from her which Sanap refused to give. He threatened her because she refused to take bribes and give the money to him. 
Since Sanap was repeatedly threatened, her husband Suryaji Thombre was instructed by their seniors to accompany her on duty. However, even Thombre was beaten with slippers and kicked by the former Sarpanch. 
Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray responded to the viral video posted by a Forest Officer in a tweet on Thursday, saying, 'The accused has been arrested this morning and will face the law at its strictest. Such acts will not be tolerated.'
