Why are state governments not taking the initiative to acknowledge the CFRs of thousands of villages across India even though there is enough empirical evidence that the FRA is a game-changer?
It’s been 25 years of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act and over 15 years of the FRA, two of the most progressive laws passed by the Indian Parliament. Yet, their implementation faces hurdles and resistance from executives that are steeped in a colonial mindset. One estimate by civil society groups says that the FRA has achieved only 15% of its total potential because governments and their administrations remain reluctant to let go of their turf. Decentralisation can bring dividends, but there’s a caveat to it: people must fight to win the power that some of these laws promise them from the State.
