Potential Gendered Implications of Amendment to Article 6.0 (Jha) of Agricultural Khas Land Management and Settlement Policy-1997

Export citation

The Agricultural Khas Land Management and Settlement Policy – 1997 is noted for its support and advancement of women’s land rights. However, an amendment to Article 6.0 (Jha) of this policy published in July 2022 risks undermining the progress that has been made. Notably, the Char Development and Settlement Programme (CDSP) has almost 20 years of activities towards securing women’s ownership, control, and access of productive lands.
