Jharkhand's government has notified the PESA Rule 2025, empowering traditional Gram Sabhas with decision-making authority over land sales, resource management, and minor judicial matters. This move aims to strengthen self-governance in scheduled areas. The rules outline the process for establishing Gram Sabhas and defining their boundaries, with Deputy Commissioners responsible for their recognition. The implementation is set for 13 scheduled districts. However, the BJP has voiced objections to the notification.
