Consider the following statements about the report submitted by the High-Level Committee on the Status of Tribals headed by Virginius Xaxa:
Which of the above statements is/are correct
The correct option is B 2 and 4 Only
The committee, headed by Professor VirginiusXaxa, was constituted by UPA 2 to study the socio-economic status of Tribals. The committee has recommended several radical changes to the laws and regulations to prevent further land alienation of tribals and to give them greater control over their resources.
It has mooted that no tribal land should be alienated without the consent of the tribal gram sabha (village council). It has also recommended that mining in their land should be carried out by tribals themselves as has been done in some cases in Andhra Pradesh, through tribal cooperatives.
It has also warned that government acquisition of tribal land in order to hand over control to private entities through PPP mode works to only circumvent the laws. It states that government agencies acquire land for “public purpose” but later transfer it to private companies at throwaway prices. In scheduled areas, tribal’s land cannot be transferred to non-tribals. Yet Cabinet Committee on Investment (CCI) sometimes hastens project-files which directly /indirectly violate this provision.
