Landlessness is a key deprivation as 10% of our farmers are landless. Women situation is worse. Though they constitute majority of workforce they only own 9.3 % of land and sometimes they are not even regarded as farmers. Number of researches has proven that status of women improves with land ownership of land. Remedying the exclusion of te majority of women from access to and control of rural land in India is one of the most significant steps that could be taken toward enhancing the country’s rural livelihoods. It is also among the most challenging. While women in India have the legal right to own land, very few do. For those women who do own land, ownership rarely translates into control of the land or of the assets flowing from the land Situation has not changed much even after change in inheritance law due to complex social customs and practices. Considering these factors, SVSS is imparting training among women on the land rights and also, is advocating with government to remove the hindrances standing in the way of women ownership of land.
