Summary

"Deshkal Society and its network partners has developed an innovative approach for facilitating delivery of parcha and parwana to women-headed households in selected blocks of Gaya district, Bihar. Notable in the initiative is the community-based approach for mobilising the community, which brought them together as cohesive groups and build their capacity to act as an effective pressure group. In the process, Deshkal Society and partner organisation established and strengthened village level community based organisations (CBOs), panchayat level CBOs, block level CBOs and one district level CBO. The Department of Revenue & Land Reforms, Government of Bihar, puts on record the success of this unique state – non-state collaboration in reaching out to the landless poor, especially Scheduled Castes, and helping them secure their legitimate rights from right-based perspective."
