Pranab Ranjan Choudhury, Associate Director of the NRMC Center for Land Governance, India, gives a preview of his keynote speech at the LANDac International Conference 2022.

"The land ecosystem globally is witnessing an unprecedented moment towards land administration reform. This particular reform is triggered by three systemic shifts - a technological shift, which is bringing in new technology from information technology as well as geospatial technologies; an institutional shift that is providing land administration service delivery systems with private sector mediation, as well as participation of other non-land departments; and third, legal reforms, which aim to support these structural changes through legal enactments and new laws. The objective behind this land administrative reform is to bring in inclusive tenure security for the poor and marginalized, those who have remained at the bottom of the land tenure pyramid. I'll be delivering a keynote that takes the demand side perspective of this land administrative innovations and tries to analyze if this reform is really making a difference for those at the bottom of the pyramid, including women, indigenous communities, Dalits, slum dwellers, and tenant farmers.”
