BhuSampada is an action research center that will work at the inter-section of land, climate resilience, and the attendant governance structures and processes.
It is BhuSampada's belief that given the intersection between these areas and the inherent challenges in the attendant legal and institutional framework, it is imperative that field led and evidence-based findings are brought to the efforts in policy making. This is best done by an independent agency which can blend both academic rigour and field experience; an agency that collaborates with both grassroots communities and government policymakers to discern the changes that are necessary both in policy and practice. This is the role that BhuSampada hopes to play and to contribute towards shifting legal and institutional systems in a manner that can benefit hundreds of thousands, if not millions of India's poorest citizens while also reducing the strain on governance structures and processes.
