Fighting poverty with property rights for the poor

[Barun Mitra]

Hello,

Would like to share with you these two articles about our latest
initiative to help some of the most marginalised communities in India.

"Liberating India and its poor: One dollar and one property at a
time", by Alejandro Chafuen, in the Forbes, 14 Aug 2013.

"Tribals finally get land rights, using GPS technology" by Swaminathan
Aiyar, in the Times of India on 21 July 2013.

We are also receiving increasing number of requests to hold training
workshops in different states to help grassroots activists understand
our land mapping initiative. In the next one month, we hope to hold 5
training workshops, across the country.

If you know of anyone who might be interested in exploring the
possibility of adopting this methodology in their own areas, then
please share this information. Please visit www.RighttoProperty.org

A friend shared this link. Looks like at least one more group is using
GPS technology to map land rights for rural farmers, this time in
Burma.

Thanks and Best,
