CALL FOR ABSTRACTS: India Land and Development Conference 2017

December 19, 2016

Demand for land, as a resource, is increasingly growing to meet the need of India’s economic growth ambitions and ecological sustainability and while it also remains important to ensure equity, poor people’s dignity, cultural identity, women’s empowerment, and equality of opportunity. Land is looked as a key resource and making land available for investment is increasingly being emphasized under ‘Doing Business’ and ‘Make in India’ approach. There are, also evidences of increasing conflicts around land, resulting in stalling and threatening investments.

Need of interactive interfaces, information sharing, constructive debates, cross-boundary and inter-disciplinary deliberations around land across the rights, uses, technologies, legal-issues are increasingly felt. The evolving and expanding discipline and sector of land, requires assimilation and intense engagements of disciplines across social, cultural, legal, natural and applied sciences.
