Despite land being central to livelihoods, identity, and justice, Dalit communities in India continue to face systemic exclusion from land ownership and decision-making, while youth voices remain largely absent from land governance dialogues. These workshops aim to address these challenges by:
- Building capacity and leadership among marginalized youth.
- Promoting Dalit land rights through policy discussions, evidence sharing, and strategic networking.
- Creating collaborative spaces for communities, institutions, and decision-makers to co-develop sustainable and equitable land governance models.
Key Objectives
- Empower youth to engage in land policy, advocacy, and governance through knowledge-sharing and mentorship.
- Advance Dalit land rights by identifying structural barriers and exploring pathways for tenure security and equitable access.
- Foster partnerships for sustained collaboration, advocacy, and programmatic action.
- Integrate land justice with broader concerns of climate resilience, food security, and gender inclusion.
