An agreement has been reached

by Trish Carn 19th October 2012

The 11 October was a memorable day in the history of land rights in India. As Jan Satyagraha’s website announced: ‘The agreement reached between Jan Satyagraha and the Indian government is expected to result in a major policy change on land rights and land distribution, benefitting the poorest population segments in this country, adivasis, dalits and many other marginalised groups.’
