Urge states to confer ownership of minor forest produce on forest workers
“The UPA will urge the states to make legislation for conferring ownership rights in respect of minor forest produce, including tendu patta, on all those people from the weaker sections who work in the forests.”

The verdict
A central law, the Forest Rights Act, was passed in December 2006 and notified into force on 31 December 2007. It took a central-law route rather than state laws; whether it vests minor forest produce ownership in full was not checked against the Act text.
