Assaults on Tribal Rights: The takeover of tribal land by governments for corporates in the mining sector as well as also for power and irritation projects like Polavaram and the subsequent displacement of Tribals has been a major issue facing tribal communities in India. The provision in laws like PESA for prior gram sabha consent is openly violated. At the same time, the historic Forest Rights Act is being sabotaged. The granting of land titles for individual and community rights to Tribals is seen as a barrier to corporate entry in the mineral rich tribal areas. The other issue raised earlier, such as the criminal negligence of the health and education requirements of tribals and particularly of tribal students. On the contrary the Central government itself is guilty of consistently violating the mandatory budgetary provisions for at least 8.2 per cent of the budget directly for tribals.
