Project Overview
Since the 1990s, India has made significant strides in land reforms and technological advancements within its land administration. However, the challenge lies in the fragmented integration of these reforms and innovations, resulting in an incomplete land records system. This lack of cohesion has contributed to prolonged land disputes in courts, obstructing access to public entitlements and financial resources, disproportionately affecting gender and marginalised communities. Therefore, IncLand, aims to strengthen India's land administration by enhancing the capacities of a diverse range of stakeholders, including state officials, technology experts, academics, and NGO representatives.
Project Partners
IncLand is being implemented by IIMA in partnership with Landstack, New Delhi. The project proposes to collaborate with two States of Odisha and Maharashtra; and three academic institutions- Azim Premji University, Flame University and Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) to establish Land administration programmes and courses. Through fostering interdisciplinary academic collaboration and improving coordination between central and state governments, the initiative seeks to establish a more streamlined, transparent, and inclusive land administration system in Odisha and Maharashtra.
