Explanation:

• The Odisha Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Research and Training Institute (SCSTRTI) created an atlas of potential areas where the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 [FRA] could be applied.
• The atlas, released in Bhubaneswar by Union tribal affairs minister Arjun Munda on February 27, 2020, marked 27,818.30 square kilometers (sq km) over which Community Forest Resources (CFR) rights could be recognised; Individual Forest Rights (IFR) can be recognised over 7,921.36 sq km, acording to the atlas.
• CFR rights are recognised for entire gram sabhas, based on traditional forest boundaries. IFRs are recognised for individuals using forest land; its area can't exceed four hectares. Both stem from FRA.
• Only 951.84 sq km (3 per cent) for CFR rights and 2,600.27sq km (32 per cent) for IFR were recognised according to a September 2019 progress report by the Union Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA).
• In 2014, SCSTRTI executed a pilot study of potential FRA areas in Mayurbhanj district and presented the findings to MoTA. In 2015, similar studies were sought from all states. Only Odisha has finished one so far.
