WASSAN contributed to
conceptualization and grounding of the program for the
development of assigned lands. In the process more than 50 field
experiences related to land development were explored and
compiled. These case studies illustrates the complexities in land
related issues right from the land access to the development.
These experiences across the state have given the solid ground
evidence in understanding and dealing with the land related
issues.
Basing upon the synthesis from
the existent field experiences and learnings, WASSAN
facilitated a process of preparing Process Guidelines and evolving
Planning Process steps for the comprehensive land development of
assigned lands. TOTs were conducted for the
officials and district level resource persons involved in
the program. Modules were developed capacitate different

control of the program and accessing the entitlements provided
