Maoist violence in India has sharply decreased by nearly 90% from 2010 to 2025. It is now confined to just 11 districts, mostly in the Bastar division of Chhattisgarh. Government data shows Left Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected districts fell from 126 in 2010 to only 11 in October 2025. Of these, Bijapur, Narayanpur, and Sukma remain the most affected. Maoists moved into the dense Dandakaranya region in the 1980s, taking advantage of remote terrain and weak government presence. At that time, tribal communities faced neglect and marginalization, allowing Maoists to build control. The government's major strategy has been setting up security camps in remote Maoist areas. These camps increased security, reduced response time for emergencies, and boosted police presence. Over time, local resistance to these camps faded as people saw benefits like road building, mobile towers, and government officials visiting for welfare services. Security forces gained better human intelligence and confidence, forcing Maoists onto the defensive. The local people now trust government help rather than Maoist control, causing many Maoist fighters and leaders to surrender or be neutralized. Despite these successes, future peace depends on solving deep-rooted tribal issues. Many former Maoist leaders want to fight for tribal rights through democracy. The government is urged to implement constitutional laws like the Panchayats Extension to Scheduled Areas Act and Forest Rights Act. Civil administration must grow stronger in these areas. A long-term plan until 2047 is needed to develop these regions fully. The sacrifices and efforts of security forces have opened a path to lasting peace, but the government must now build on this to ensure sustainable progress and tribal welfare.
