Comprehensive bill to cover STs, forest dwellers
New Delhi: The Union Cabinet on Thursday approved the proposal for a single comprehensive bill covering both Scheduled Tribes and traditional forest dwellers, with 2005 as the cut-off date, as against 1980 considered earlier.
Union Minister and Cabinet spokesman Priyaranjan Dasmunsi said the bill, covering three generations, would be processed by four Ministries — Tribal Affairs, Panchayati Raj, Environment and Forests, and Law — and brought before Parliament this session itself.
Chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Cabinet also gave its nod for the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the United States for an aviation cooperation programme.
