The Tinsukia District Administration on the occasion of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas 2025 officially granted Forest Rights Act titles to 237 families from three forest villages in Sadiya, Assam’s Ambikapur. This landmark event marked a major step towards justice and recognition for tribal communities, providing long-pending land and resource rights. Families from Ambikapur Sonowalgaon, Ambikapur Bodogaon, and Kopoupathar Sonali Gaon received official land rights, securing their livelihood, dignity, and identity as forest-dependent communities. The event was attended by dignitaries, including Hon’ble MLA Sadiya Sri Bolin Chetia and District Commissioner Swapneel Paul. Authorities emphasized the FRA’s role in empowering indigenous families to protect their land from eviction, access forest resources lawfully, and participate in conservation. The ceremony aligns with the government’s Dharti Aaba Abhiyan campaign, honoring tribal heritage and constitutional protections, with ongoing efforts to verify additional claims ensuring no eligible family is left behind .
