Following ATREE’s pilot work in helping one village submit its claim for Community  Forest Resource (CFR) rights, the District Collector Dindori has instructed Sub Division Level Committees (SDLCs) to support villages in claim-making. In this context, ATREE’s Baiga Chak team conducted a training programme for Forest  Department staff of Samnapur and Bajag Ranges on 27th May 2024. The training  was focused on the main steps of CFR claim-making, the role of the Forest  Department staff in the joint verification of claims, and the process of checking  documents at the SDLC level. Methods of calculation of CFR area in revenue villages and forest villages, and when and where GPS mapping is required was discussed in detail. Dr. Sharad Lele, Mohit Mahajan (District FRA Coordinator), and  Balram Padoti (Senior FRA Coordinator) conducted the training.
