In order to raise awareness within the community, CSJ has been engaged in campaigns for Tribal Self rule in Panchayati Raj and Training of tribal farmers on the revenue related issue. For these Public meetings, Drama and Documentary films were the primary medium. CSJ has also worked in co-ordination with VOLAGS on issues related to land and forest rights of tribal populations and provided logistics and media support to Adivasi Mahasabha—a movement for tribal rights. CSJ also participated in a workshop on the situation of land rights in Gujarat as a part of the Gujarat Social Forum and produced legal awareness generation materials on gramsabha, land rights & tribals, rights of the arrestee and First Information Report.

As a result of CSJ’s efforts and awareness campaigns drastic changes are being seen in the tribal communities. Though it has been customary for tribals not to seek legal remedy without the permission of the community leader, now tribals especially women are beginning to approach courts in cases where they feel that their rights have been violated. This is a direct result of the efforts of CSJ. Following the CSJ campaign on the Right to Information Act (RTI) tribals have begun using the RTI as a tool for seeking information from the Government Machinery. Additionally, as forest land is a major issue for the tribal community, tribals are becoming aware about the tenancy act for their land related issues. Public gatherings and rallies have also given tribals the courage to fight against bureaucracy.

In addition, CSJ is working towards legal acceptance of the recommendations of the Bhuria Committee. The Centre has also critiqued the Scheduled Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Rules, 2007 and sent recommendation that better protect the human rights of scheduled tribes and forest dwellers to the Ministry of Tribal Affairs.
