Question
The UNDP report states that community rights account for
how many acres under FRA, and what percentage of the estimated potential does this represent?Solution
The report indicates 1.88 crore acres are titled specifically under community rights, which the UNDP assesses to be only 18% of the estimated potential (9.88 crore acres). The distinction matters: community rights (Section 3(1)(k) and related provisions) cover collective claims over biodiversity and traditional knowledge among forest-dwelling communities. The low percentage signals substantial unclaimed or unrecognized potential and is cited as a rationale for policy fixes such as inter-departmental coordination and better data systems.
