In a recent gathering, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren emphasized the need for comprehensive tribal welfare reform during the Tribal Advisory Council meeting. The talks focused on regulatory aspects concerning tribal land transactions and the preservation of tribal language and culture.
Among the highlighted issues was the obligation of police station limits, stipulated under Section 46 of the Chota Nagpur Tenancy Act, which restricts tribal land sales to individuals within the same station jurisdiction. Soren's statements reflect a commitment to navigating these legislative waters for better tribal integration.
The meeting, notably boycotted by BJP members, took place after a substantial hiatus. Soren voiced optimism for more cohesive central-state collaboration, citing previous discussions at the NITI Aayog meeting as pivotal for regional growth and development.
