Rural land problems in India have not gone unnoticed. In the decades following Independence many Indian states passed land reform laws aimed at broadening the access to rural land. But these efforts-except for a few a notable successes were poorly designed and implemented. Land lords have taken their cases in courts and have managed to use the lands while poor were suffering landless.

SAHASH is active in giving suggestions and information about the correct people to whom the land is required and proper information is provided to the government officials to do the needful.
