PESA से आदिवासियों को क्या मिला और क्या छिन गया? | Jharkhand Explained | F&F Ep-209 | Hemant

Jharkhand has completed 25 years as a state, and only now has the government implemented the PESA Act—a law that was passed by Parliament back in 1996 to protect the rights of Adivasi communities living in Fifth Schedule areas. This video explores a crucial question: Is PESA truly empowering Gram Sabhas, or is it quietly shifting power back into the hands of the administration and corporates? Over the last decade, Jharkhand has witnessed large-scale deforestation, mining expansion, and environmental degradation. Forests, hills, and natural resources have been exploited, directly threatening the lives, livelihoods, and culture of Adivasi communities who have lived in harmony with nature for generations. PESA was meant to correct this imbalance by giving Gram Sabhas the highest authority over land, forests, water, and local decision-making in Scheduled Areas. However, the newly notified PESA rules in Jharkhand have sparked widespread dissatisfaction among Adivasi leaders, activists, and traditional governance representatives. While the government claims that self-governance will be strengthened, several provisions raise serious concerns—especially the expanded role of the District Deputy Commissioner in notifying and defining Gram Sabhas. Critics argue that this undermines traditional systems like the Manki-Munda and Manjhi-Pargana systems, which already have constitutional recognition. This video breaks down the political, constitutional, and ground-level realities of PESA in Jharkhand. It examines why Adivasi regions rich in minerals remain among the poorest, why Gram Sabha powers are limited to minor minerals, and how development planning continues to be dominated by bureaucratic structures. Through data, constitutional context, and voices from the ground, this report asks whether PESA in Jharkhand is a step toward justice—or another missed opportunity.
