Our Assessment

The declaration promised complete ownership rights, including the right to sale and resale, for Podu land farmers and assigned land beneficiaries. Podu land titles are issued under the Recognition of Forest Rights Act, which grants heritable but generally non-transferable rights and does not confer the sale and resale rights promised. Most Podu patta distribution was carried out in a 2023 exercise, aspects of which are under scrutiny by a Supreme Court committee. No approved-source evidence was found that the government has conferred full, alienable ownership rights with sale and resale to Podu or assigned land beneficiaries, so the verdict is pending. Budget: not applicable; no approved-source allocation evidence was found.
