Deputy Commissioner N. Jayaram has warned that the government would take back the forest land from the beneficiaries if the latter misused it for non-agriculture purposes.
He was distributing the title deeds to the beneficiaries belonging to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes who have no land of their own and were fully dependent on forest land to eke out a living every day, here on Monday.
Order
He added that the government had issued an order to distribute forest lands which were being tilled by the SCs/STs families so that they could improve their economic conditions.
He said the names of the beneficiaries would be inserted in the pahani patra within three days.
First stage
In the first stage, title deeds were distributed to 758 beneficiaries. All other beneficiaries will also get it within next 15 days, said Vijay Kumar Honakeri, Assistant Commissioner, Bailhongal.
According to Deputy Conservator of Forest Ambadi Madhav, the government had decided to distribute lands to all those SC/ST families who had been tilling forest lands for living with a cut-off date of November 30, 2005.
