NEW DELHI: The NDA government has fished out after more than a decade the Second Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes Commission report that had been junked by its predecessor. The voluminous report, which had recommended amendments to the Constitution to give more powers to Governors and formulation of a national tribal policy, will now be tabled in Parliament 11 years after it was submitted to the President.The Second Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes Commission, formed in 2002 by the Atal government, had submitted its report in July 2004, just as Congress-led UPA government first came to power.The Dileep Singh Bhuria-led commission had made several recommendations for tribal welfare, including amendments to the Fifth Schedule of Constitution to give powers to the Governors to regulate trade and commerce in Scheduled Areas.The tribal affairs ministry is now perusing the report for pointers.The ministry will table it in Parliament in the second half of the Budget session, a senior official said, adding, “There is no precedent of the Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes Commission report being tabled in Parliament but we had given an assurance earlier and the ministry will now table it.”The UPA government had junked the Bhuria Commission report and announced in July 2012 formation of the Third Scheduled Areas and Scheduled Tribes Commission to examine various issues of development and welfare of tribals, especially primitive tribal groups.According to officials, the Modiled government has now put this decision on hold for the time being.The report will be tabled along with an action taken report in Parliament, officials said. The report’s centre point was “people’s progress through people power”. Although a lot of progress has been made in the past 11 years, some points need to be acted on, especially in view of growing threat of Maoism, officials said.Though Article 339 of the Constitution lays down that such a commission needs to be appointed after every 10 years, only two commissions have been set up so far. The first commission, appointed in 1960 under the chairmanship of UN Dhebar, had gone into the circumstances leading to tribal land alienation and had observed that there was an urgent need to scrutinise legislations on transfer of tribal lands.
