    Why Land
    Many of the solutions to the world’s problems lie right before us, in how land is governed and managed. Sustainable and equitable land use elevates ecosystems and communities. It builds democracy, justice, sustainability and resilience.

BHARTIYA JAN SEWA ASHRAM

Member since: 2007

Working towards these commitments

Respect, protect and strengthen the land rights of women and men living in poverty, ensuring that no one is deprived of the use and control of the land on which their well-being and human dignity depend, including through eviction, expulsion or exclusion, and with compulsory changes to tenure undertaken only in line with international law and standards on human rights.
1

Secure Tenure Rights

Ensure equitable land distribution and public investment that supports small-scale farming systems, including through redistributive agrarian reforms that counter excessive land concentration, provide for secure and equitable use and control of land, and allocate appropriate land to landless rural producers and urban residents, whilst supporting smallholders as investors and producers, such as through cooperative and partnership business models.
2

Strong Small-Scale Farming Systems

Ensure gender justice in relation to land, taking all necessary measures to pursue both de jure and de facto equality, enhancing the ability of women to defend their land rights and take equal part in decision-making, and ensuring that control over land and the benefits that are derived thereof are equal between women and men, including the right to inherit and bequeath tenure rights.
4

Equal land rights for women

Ensure transparency and accountability, through unhindered and timely public access to all information that may contribute to informed public debate and decision-making on land issues at all stages, and through decentralization to the lowest effective level, to facilitate participation, accountability and the identification of locally appropriate solutions
8

Transparent and accessible information

Mission

BJSA’s mission is for citizens to be sensitized and cooperate closely in order to achieve development and self-respect. The organization also aims to establish a sound and self-reliant society, with the mission of organizing and empowering communities towards holistic development (i.e., education, livelihood and health).

Objectives

The organization's objectives include national unity, integrity and peace, the development of interpersonal relationships within the community, the creation of an appropriate atmosphere for the development of children, the popularization of scientific and technological research, the serving of helpless and neglected people so that they may achieve self-respect, and the implementation of programs and activities for the community.

Constituencies

Women and children of Dalit and backward communities.
