The state cabinet approved PESA rules; and now, villagers in Scheduled Areas will decide how forest produce is used, who gets land, and which development projects move forward. No more top-down approvals. Real power is finally in local hands. Plus, 8 lakh tribal families will benefit from CM Janajati Jeevika Mission 2.0. This isn’t just policy; it’s a quiet revolution in rural governance. And it could become a model for other tribal states.
