• Polity:

  Nodal Ministries for Sanitation, Health and Forest Rights

  The Forest Rights Act's nodal ministry is Tribal Affairs, not Environment; public health and hospitals are constitutionally a State subject; and the sanitation-sector bodies UPSC has tested, the India Sanitation Coalition, NIUA and the World Toilet Organization, are each a different kind of institution from what their names suggest.

• Environment:

  Forest Conservation Act, CAMPA and the FRA

  The FC Act's 2023 rename and real exemptions, CAMPA's 90:10 fund split, the FRA's 4-hectare cap, Miyawaki forests, and current ISFR state rankings.
