GUWAHATI: Assam will roll out a tribal land policy to allow each tribal family of the state to hold up to 50 bighas of land while the upper ceiling of 8 bighas under Assam Land Policy, 2019, will continue for the rest of the population.
"Our efforts are on to spell out a tribal land policy by October 2. This is in line with our budget proposal to secure rights of tribal people over their hereditary land," chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said here on Monday while launching "Mission Bhumiputra", a simplified and digital way to issue digitalised caste certificates to students.
