It has helped to strengthen the nexus between so called entrepreneurs and bureaucrats-cum-politicians grab village wastelands which provided easy access to poor people for grazing, fuel-wood and NTFP collection for sustainable livelihood. Today the lands from being village common property resources have been transferred in the name of individuals, forged companies/ industries, NGOs etc. Innovations have led to creating a class of destitute who are forced to go to natural forests seeking products and services for their subsistence needs.On records such lands were shown not available but on ground the lands were being used by locals and they are now shown to be under Jatropha.
