7,693.2257 HECTARES: THE UNFINISHED PROMISE TO KERALA’S LANDLESS TRIBALS

The Government of India approved the diversion of 7,693.2257 hectares of vested/reserved forest land for the rehabilitation of landless tribals in Kerala. More than two decades later, thousands of Scheduled Tribe families remain landless. This documentary audit examines the Central Government approval, the Supreme Court proceedings of 2010, subsequent administrative developments, questions surrounding the use of portions of the land, and the need for a transparent parcel-wise accounting of every hectare.
