Land Conflict Watch

Land is dignity, security, and a source of livelihood for millions of people. But India's agenda for development sets up conflict over use and ownership of land and its resources.

Atleast 7 million people are embroiled in the fight for control over land and its resources.

Land Conflict Watch is the first attempt at documenting land conflicts across the country.

Learn where and why land conflicts are occurring in India, and their social, political and economic implications.
