India

Prindex's research on land tenure security in India started with a 2016 pilot study and expanded in 2017 with a larger survey across states and union territories. Given the high population density and the fact that 90% of land is under legal dispute, land tenure is a pressing issue in the country, affecting economic growth and the security of vulnerable groups. The surveys sought to map people's perceptions of land and property rights and understand the disparities across different states.
