India has recognized the crucial role of women in agriculture, rural livelihoods, and natural resource management, and securing their land rights has been an important policy objective. Historically, women in India have faced multiple barriers to land ownership due to social, cultural, and legal constraints. Despite their significant involvement in farming, forest management, and water conservation, women’s access to land has remained limited. To address this, the Indian government has undertaken a series of measures at both legislative and programmatic levels to enhance women’s land rights and promote gender equity in rural development. One of the primary steps was the introduction of legal provisions that recognize women’s right to inherit property. The Hindu Succession Act (HSA) of 1956 initially provided limited inheritance rights to daughters in joint family property but excluded agricultural land in many states. Recognizing the need for reform, the government amended the HSA in 2005 to grant daughters equal rights as sons in ancestral property, including agricultural land, thereby formally acknowledging women as co-owners. This amendment was a significant milestone in promoting gender equity in land rights, as it legally empowered women to claim inheritance and engage in decision-making regarding land use and management.
