Overall purpose of the project is to improve the level
of awareness of the poor and marginalized communities
about land rights. Specific objectives of the project
is to prepare an easy Bangla version of the land related
laws in a book form for the poor and marginalized communities
and all easy Bangla lessons of land laws will be considered
as 'Land Codes'. This is a follow-up project of an earlier
completed project "Land Laws, Rights and Alternative
Dispute Resolution". The participants of the national
level seminar organised for disseminating the findings
of the above study strongly recommended to prepare a
easy Bangla version of the essential land related laws
which will also be used as 'Land Codes'. Results of
the above study revealed that the people of poor and
marginalized communities are not well aware about the
land related laws and regarded as one of the major causes
of landlessness by the vested groups. There are very
few books on land related laws, which are not well understood
by the ordinary readers/users and mostly used by the
legal practitioners. Even the well-educated people perceived
the land laws as very complicated. On these contexts
it is important for the poor and marginalized as well
as for the common people to develop an easy Bangla version
of the land related laws for which the project deserve
consideration for support.
