- Violation of Protective Laws: Despite special laws to prevent land alienation, 48% of the land in agency areas is owned by non-tribals due to manipulations and violations.
- Survey and Settlement Manipulations (1970-76): Many lands were fraudulently registered in the names of non-tribals during the survey and settlement period, resulting in ongoing litigation over tribal lands.

- Women Exploitation for Land: Tribal women are often exploited by non-tribals to bypass restrictions on land alienation, further complicating tribal land issues.
- Inter-Tribal Conflicts: Migration of advanced tribal groups such as Lambadas in Telangana has led to conflicts over land, exacerbating pressures on limited land resources.
- Pending Restoration Orders: The committee found that land restoration orders for tribals were pending for decades, with minimal progress due to resistance from non-tribals.
