How ‘Forest Rights Act 2006’ defines ‘Bonafide Livelihood Needs’ of tribals ?

  • A.Fulfillment of livelihood needs of kinship groups
  • B.Fulfillment of livelihood needs of self and family
  • C.Fulfillment of livelihood needs and market needs
  • D.Fulfillment of basic needs of all tribal groups

Answer: B

The Act defines it as the fulfillment of livelihood needs of self and family.

The Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006, defines 'bona fide livelihood needs' as the fulfilment of the livelihood needs of self and family through the exploitation of land or forest produce, including the sale of surplus produce. The phrase marks the line between subsistence use, which the Act protects, and commercial exploitation.

Market needs are what the definition deliberately excludes, and neither kinship groups nor all tribal groups are the unit the Act names.
