Chitwan committee grants land ownership to 17 landless families

The Chitwan District Land Problem Resolution Committee distributed land ownership certificates to 17 landless families in Ratnanagar Municipality-12, Nepal.

The recipients include one Dalit family, four squatters, and 12 disorganized families. These residents became legal landowners after receiving official documentation that they had lacked for a long time. The secretariat of Pratibha Rawal, the Minister for Land Management, Cooperatives, and Poverty Alleviation, stated that the government prioritizes resolving land issues for these specific groups.

The committee accelerated the distribution to meet a long term goal of providing legal land titles to those without status.
