Explanation:

Recently, Jammu and Kashmir administration announced its decision to implement Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Rights Act), 2006 in the UT.

In the ceremony held recently to mark the occasion, individual and community right certificates were handed over to the beneficiaries of Gujjar-Bakerwal and Gaddi-Sippi communities.

Tribals in J&K have waited for a long time for their rights and as per the claims of the administration, this step will facilitate the Jammu and Kashmir administration’s endeavor to work in mission mode for development of tribals.

The move will elevate the socio-economic status of a sizeable section of the 14-lakh-strong population of tribals and nomadic communities, including Gujjar-Bakerwals and Gaddi-Sippis, in the Union Territory.
