How ‘Forest Rights Act 2006’ defines ‘Bonafide Livelihood Needs’ of tribals ?
Fulfillment of livelihood needs of self and family
The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 recognises rights of forest dwellers who depend on forest land for their 'bona fide livelihood needs'.
Rule 2(1)(b) of the Forest Rights Rules, 2008 defines bona fide livelihood needs as the fulfilment of livelihood needs of self and family through the exercise of the rights listed in Section 3(1) of the Act, including the sale of surplus produce arising from those rights.
The definition is thus tied to the household (self and family), not to wider kinship groups, to all tribal groups in general, or to market (commercial) demand.
Hence, the answer is Fulfillment of livelihood needs of self and family.
