Large-scale displacement due to land acquisition"
Expressing concern over displacement and loss of occupation for tribal women due to land acquisition, the Minister of State for Women and Child Development, Krishna Tirath has said such a move also exposed these women to “exploitation and trafficking.”
“The government will have to ensure security of livelihood of tribal population when their land is acquired,” she said at the ‘Scheduled Tribe Women and Children: Issues and Challenges for Development' conference here on Monday, which was convened to discuss issues of scheduled tribe women and children.
“Large-scale displacement of tribals due to land acquisition for development is a challenge. Women become most vulnerable in such situations. Being mainly employed in agriculture or forest-based livelihood, displacement deprives tribal women of their occupation, often leading to migration which exposes them [to] exploitation or trafficking,” she said. Ms. Tirath said the government was concerned about the issue of land acquisition and was holding deliberations.
Policy Talks on Podiums haven't changed the ground realities. UPA ruled states are the greatest violators followed by regional party ruled states. The selective agitations of the like of Rahul Gandhi in case of regional party ruled states, while all the while steadfastly ignoring the similar violations in the UPA ruled states hasn't helped the affected.
If any the only hope is the Judicial Intervention, as it happened in case of NOIDA forceful land acquisition scandal.
