Habitat Rights and Implications


In News: Baiga tribal group gets habitat rights in Chhattisgarh. 

About 

  • The Chhattisgarh Government has recently granted habitat rights to the Baiga Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG), following the earlier granting of such rights to the Kamar PVTG in August 2023.  
  • This marks the second instance of habitat rights being bestowed upon a PVTG in Chhattisgarh, where there are a total of seven PVTGs, namely Kamar, Baiga, Pahadi Korba, Abujhmadiya, Birhor, Pando, and Bhujia. 

About Habitat Right 

  • Recognition of habitat rights grants the concerned community a wide range of entitlements over their traditional habitation areas, encompassing their socio-cultural traditions, economic and livelihood practices, intellectual knowledge related to biodiversity and ecology, traditional wisdom regarding natural resource utilization, and the safeguarding and preservation of both their natural and cultural heritage. 
  • These habitat rights serve as a protective mechanism for the preservation and dissemination of ancestral ecological knowledge and traditional livelihood practices that have been passed down through generations. They also facilitate the coordination of various government programs and initiatives from different departments to empower Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) to develop and enhance their living environments. 
  • As per the Forest Rights Act (FRA), "habitat" encompasses customary dwelling areas, as well as those located within reserved and protected forests, which are utilized by PVTGs and other forest-dwelling Scheduled Tribes. 
  • Habitat rights will help the PVTG protect their habitat from developmental activities harmful to them. The title may not be an ownership title in the nature of a private property owner, but consent and consultation of the gram sabha will be needed for any developmental activity.  
  • Forest Rights have legal protection under the Forest Conservation Act, the Land Acquisition law of 2013, and even the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities. Act. Grant of habitat rights under the Forest Rights Act provide an additional layer of legal protection.” 
  • Out of the 75 PVTGs in India, only three have been granted habitat rights. The Bharia PVTG in Madhya Pradesh was the first to receive these rights, followed by the Kamar tribe, and most recently, the Baiga tribe in Chhattisgarh. 

Procedure of Declaring Rights 

  • Consultation with Traditional Tribal Leaders: The procedure begins with consultations with traditional tribal leaders. These discussions aim to assess the cultural, traditional, and occupational aspects of the PVTG community's way of life. These insights are vital for determining the extent of the habitat that should be granted to the PVTG. 
  • Interdepartmental Coordination: The next step involves close coordination between various state-level departments, including Forest, Revenue, Tribal, and Panchayati Raj. These departments work together to define and declare the habitat for the PVTG. This coordination is essential to ensure that the habitat rights are granted in a well-organized and legally sound manner. 
  • Involvement of UNDP Team: Collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) team is another crucial element of the process. Their expertise and assistance can contribute to the effective recognition and declaration of habitat rights for PVTGs. 

Legality of Habitat Right 

  • Habitat rights for PVTGs are granted under Section 3(1)(e) of the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act, 2006 
  • This legal provision is the basis for recognizing and securing the rights of PVTGs over their customary territories, which encompass their habitation, economic and livelihood means, as well as their knowledge of biodiversity.  
  • It's a legal framework that seeks to protect and empower these vulnerable tribal communities in India.

Remote Voting for Migrants - Edukemy Current Affairs


In News: Recently, a survey by Lokniti-CSDS was conducted in September 2023, involving 1,017 migrants living in Delhi’s slums, with 63% men and 37% women. The aim was to understand whether the proposed R-EVM system would gain a viable level of trust among its intended users, setting aside legal and logistical concerns raised by political parties. 

Remote EVM (R-EVM): 

  • The Election Commission of India (ECI) proposed a mechanism called Remote Electronic Voting Machine (R-EVM) to make voting easier for domestic migrants who are unable to vote in their registered constituency because of their current location. 
  • This system will allow registered voters who have moved away from their home constituencies to cast their votes remotely. 
  • Some nations, like Estonia, France, Panama, Pakistan, and Armenia, allow its residents who reside overseas or outside of their respective constituencies to vote remotely. 

Proposed Mechanism of R-EVM: 

  • Voters interested in using the remote voting option must register (online or offline) with the relevant Returning Officer (RO) of their home constituency within a pre-notified date. 
  • In the vicinity of the voter's present residence, a multi-constituency remote polling station will be established, enabling remote voting from that place. 
  • Voters from various constituencies can efficiently cast their ballots at the same spot as the RVM can manage numerous constituencies (up to 72) from a single remote polling station. 
  • The relevant constituency and candidate list will appear on the RVM display when the voter scans their constituency card in the presence of the presiding officer at the remote polling location. 
  • The RVMs employ an electronic ballot display to exhibit candidates and their symbols rather than a fixed paper ballot sheet, and they have the same security system and voting procedure as the current EVMs. 
  • On the RVM display, voters can choose the candidate of their choice. The system will tally and record each candidate's vote for a constituency. 

Significance of Migrant Vote: 

  • A substantial number of long-term migrants are present in Delhi, as indicated by the majority of migrants (61%) who have been there for more than five years. 
  • 53% of migrants are registered to vote in Delhi, while 27% are registered in their home states. 
  • In comparison to local/panchayat elections, migrants take part in national and state elections more. 
  • Returning to home for the polls is motivated by the opportunity to exercise one's fundamental right to vote (40%) and to spend time with family (25%). 
  • 31% of respondents express distrust, compared to 47% who prefer to trust the suggested remote voting option. There is a considerable gender gap, with men (50%) showing more trust than women (40%). The system is more trusted by those with higher levels of education. 

Challenges with the Proposed system: 

  • The challenges with regard to the current EVMs will persist when it comes to the RVMs because these have the same security system which is in the EVMs. 
  • It requires amendments to the Representation of People’s Act of 1950 and 1951; the Conduct of Election Rules, 1961; and the Registration of Electors Rules, 1960. 
  • It might be difficult to maintain the integrity and confidentiality of the voting process while ensuring voting privacy in remote areas. 
  • A fair and secure remote voting system must incorporate measures to reliably identify voters and prevent impersonation. 
  • Organising poll workers and ensuring that remote voting locations are effectively supervised pose logistical and administrative difficulties. 
  • To avoid voter misunderstanding and mistakes, it is crucial to make sure that voters are familiar with the technologies and interfaces used for remote voting. 

Way Forward: 

  • The voting mechanism must be independent of hardware and software in order to be verifiable and accurate; in other words, it cannot be verified purely based on the premise that the EVM is accurate. 
  • If a voter is dissatisfied, they should have the option to cancel their vote, and the process must be easy and involve no contact from anybody. 
  • It is crucial to consider the trust and acceptability of all the participants in the electoral process, including voters, political parties, and election apparatus.

Invisible E-Waste - Edukemy Current Affairs


In News: The Brussels-based Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum commissioned the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) on the Occasion of International E-Waste Day (14th October) to calculate the annual quantities of Invisible E-Waste items. 

Key Highlights of the Study: 

  • Invisible E-Waste Volume: 
    • Consumers do not recognise approximately one-sixth of the yearly global total of nearly 9 billion kilogrammes of electronic waste. 
    • The e-toy category, which includes race car sets, electric trains, drones, and biking computers, accounts for around 35% of invisible e-waste (or about 3.2 billion kilogrammes). 
    • The annual projected 844 million vaping gadget discards add greatly to the intangible e-waste mountain. 
  • Invisible E-Waste Value: Every year, the material worth of invisible e-waste is estimated to be over USD 9.5 billion, demonstrating the economic significance of its components, particularly iron, copper, and gold. 
  • Global Scenario: 
    • Only a small portion of e-waste is adequately collected, handled, and recycled on a global scale. 55% of the e-waste produced in Europe is currently formally collected and documented. 
    • However, the claimed average collection rate in other regions of the world is little over 17%. Most of it is disposed of in landfills, burnt, illegally sold, mishandled, or hoarded in homes. 
  • Environmental Concerns: The improper management of hazardous components in these products, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, can pollute land and water, making improper disposal of invisible e-waste a significant environmental issue. 
  • Recommendations: 
    • Visible e-waste is an untapped resource that emphasises the opportunity for economic growth and the pressing need to spread knowledge about recycling these valuable materials. 
    • In 2019, it was predicted that the worth of raw materials in the world's created e-waste was USD 57 billion. 
    • Sixth of the total, or USD 9.5 billion in material worth annually, belongs to the category of invisible e-waste. 
    • To maximise recycling potential and fulfil the expanding need for materials across a range of vital industries, such as renewable energy, electric transportation, manufacturing, communications, aerospace, and defence, it is essential to raise awareness. 

Invisible E-waste: 

  • Electronic garbage that is frequently overlooked by customers because of its appearance or nature is referred to as invisible e-waste. 
  • These include cables, e-toys, e-cigarettes, e-bikes, power tools, smoke detectors, USB sticks, wearable health devices, and smart home appliances, etc. 

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Forum: 

  • It is the largest global centre of expertise in the world for "waste electrical and electronic equipment" operational know-how. 
  • It was established in April 2002 and is a non-profit association of 46 WEEE producer responsibility associations from throughout the world. 

Provisions regarding E-waste in India: 

  • The E-waste (Management) Rules, 2016 cover over 21 goods (Schedule-I). 
  • With the primary goal of digitising the e-waste management process and improving visibility, the Government of India published the E-Waste (Management) Rules, 2022. 
  • Additionally, it prohibits the use of toxic materials (including lead, mercury, and cadmium) that are harmful to both human health and the environment when making electrical and electronic equipment. 
  • An additional economic tool known as the Deposit Refund Scheme has been introduced. Under this scheme, the producer charges a deposit in addition to the price of the electrical and electronic equipment at the time of sale and returns it to the customer, along with interest, when the end-of-life electrical and electronic equipment is returned.

World Economic Outlook: IMF - Edukemy Current Affairs


In News: Recently, IMF in its report raised India's FY24 GDP growth forecast to 6.3% from 6.1%. 

About 

The IMF World Economic Outlook 2023 expects global Gross Domestic Product growth to be 3% in 2023, which is the same as its July 2023 forecast. Global GDP growth for 2024, however, has seen a reduction of 10 basis points from the July forecast to 2.9%. 

Findings related to India 

  • India's GDP growth forecast for 2023-24 is set at 6.3%, which reflects a 20-basis point increase from the figures reported in July 2023. 
  • The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank (WB) now share the same growth forecast for India in 2023-24. This aligns with what the World Bank had previously projected in its India Development Update. 
  • India's GDP growth forecast for 2024-25 remains unchanged at 6.3%. 
  • The upward revision of India's GDP growth for 2023-24 by the IMF is attributed to a robust 7.8% growth rate recorded in the quarter ending June 2023. 
  • It's worth noting that the annual growth forecast of 6.3% by the IMF is still lower than the 6.5% projection made by the Reserve Bank of India's (RBI) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC).

Minimise climate risk - Edukemy Current Affairs


Exam View: India’s food security; India’s food insecurity; Water in agriculture; Strategy with respect to water in agriculture. 

Context: October 16 is observed as World Food Day to mark the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in 1945. This year’s theme for the World Food Day is “Water is Life. Water is Food”. 

Decoding the editorial: World Food Day 

The World Food Day theme requires evaluation of India’s success in food security and water sustainability. 

India’s food security 

  • Cereals 
    • Having been through a journey of “ship to mouth” in the mid 1960s, India has come a long way.  
    • Only in the last three years, 2020-21 to 2022-23, India exported 85 million tonnes (MT) of cereals, mainly rice, wheat and corn.  
    • It did this even after giving free food (rice or wheat) to more than 800 million people under the PM Garib Kalyan Yojana.  
  • Milk 
    • India has also made major strides in milk production which has shot up from 17 MT in 1951 to 222 MT in 2022-23. 
    • The country is the largest producer of milk by far.  
  • Poultry and fishery 
    • Since 2000-01, poultry and fishery production has been growing at a fast rate.  
    • India has now ushered in a pink (poultry) and blue (fishery) revolution.  

India’s food insecurity 

  • India will not be able to achieve its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of zero hunger (including malnutrition) by 2030.   

Water in agriculture  

  • Water deficiency: While India is home to almost 18 percent of the world’s population, it has only 4 percent of global freshwater resources.  
    • Much of this water is used in agriculture. While FAO puts this figure at 90 percent, the Indian Central Water Commission says it is 78 percent.  
  • Structural problems: India has not succeeded in attracting private sector investments in reservoirs and canal networks as water is almost free.  
    • The government does not have enough funds to invest in this, after doling out large food and fertiliser subsidies costing more than Rs 4 lakh crore.  
    • The state governments do not have the political will to charge for power that is used for groundwater irrigation.  

Strategy with respect to water in agriculture 

  • On the supply side, India must augment buffer stocking of water during the monsoon season in its reservoirs, and recharge groundwater through check dams and watersheds, etc.  
    • While almost half of India’s gross cropped area is irrigated today, we need to take it to at least 75 percent if we have to cope with weather vagaries associated with climate change. 
  • India must work on the demand side to ensure more rational allocation and efficient use of water across crops. 
    • This calls for not only institutional reforms in the Indian irrigation sector but also in the pricing of water and power for irrigation.  
  • Focus needs to shift from land productivity to water productivity.  
    • Research at ICRIER on water productivity of 10 major crops showed significant results. 
    • It was found that while in Punjab land productivity of rice is one of the highest, its irrigation water productivity is the lowest. 
    • On top of this, Punjab also emits the highest levels of carbon emissions (CO2eq), almost 5 tonnes/ha of paddy cultivation.  
    • In this research on Punjab, it was found that the subsidy from power and fertilisers in paddy cultivation amounts to roughly Rs 30,000/ha.  
    • This amount can be given to farmers in Punjab who are willing to switch from paddy to pulses, oilseeds, and millets.  
    • This will create a level playing field across crops and would be good for the environment as well as nutrition.  
    • Above all, it will save Punjab from water disaster as roughly 78 percent of its blocks are over-exploiting groundwater. 
  • Certain farming practices can be rewarded  
    • Direct seeded rice (DSR), 
    • Alternate wet and dry (AWD) irrigation,  
    • Zero till, and 
    • Drip irrigation. 

The bottom line is that unless we use water efficiently, ensuring sustainable food security is difficult.
