He stated that the state government would hold comprehensive consultations with all stakeholders before implementing the Act, which has been pending execution in the state for over 27 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing a massive gathering of tribals at Janata Maidan on the occasion of Janjatiya Gaurav Divas, organised to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Birsa Munda, a revered tribal freedom fighter, Majhi criticized the previous Biju Janata Dal (BJD) government for failing to implement the PESA Act, accusing it of harboring an \u201canti-tribal\u201d attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe previous BJD government was anti-tribal and never wanted to ensure the socio-economic development of tribal communities in the state. Our government will guarantee all-around development for tribal communities,\u201d the Chief Minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Odisha is among 10 states with Fifth Schedule areas where the PESA Act is applicable. In terms of tribal population, Odisha ranks third in the country, after Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The Act empowers tribal communities by granting them greater authority in self-governance and ensuring the protection of their unique social and cultural practices in Fifth Schedule Areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As per the spirit of the PESA Act, 1996, power and authority should be devolved to gram sabhas and panchayats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state has 13 PESA districts\u2014six fully covered districts, including Malkangiri, Nabarangpur, Rayagada, Mayurbhanj, Sundargarh, and Koraput, and seven partially covered districts, including Ganjam, Keonjhar, Sambalpur, Kandhamal, Kalahandi, Balasore, and Gajapati. Of Odisha\u2019s 314 blocks, 121 have been identified as tribal sub-plan blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to experts, since the PESA Act is a Central Act, the Union Government should have framed its rules, as was done for the Forest Rights Act, 2006. States such as Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Gujarat, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra have already notified their PESA Rules, while Jharkhand has floated a draft for public consultation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reacting to the Chief Minister\u2019s remarks, senior BJD leader Pradeep Majhi refuted the allegations of tribal neglect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe BJD government, under the leadership of Naveen Patnaik, has undertaken significant initiatives for the socio-economic development of tribal communities. Special Development Councils were established for their upliftment, alongside measures to provide quality healthcare, education, and livelihood opportunities,\u201d the BJD leader stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this occasion, the Chief Minister also laid the foundation stones for projects worth Rs 1,535 crore aimed at the development of tribal communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Foundation stone laid for projects worth Rs 1,535 crore for development of tribal communities By Nalini Sahu Bhubaneswar, Nov. 16: In
