Janadesh 2007 is an ultimatum to the Government to resolve the land issue or face non-violent direct action. The assembly called for Do or Die. The members of the assembly also took the pledge undertake foot march to the Delhi for demanding land rights. If their demands were not met by October 2007, 25000 landless, deprived peoples would undertake foot march to Delhi.
 
 
Charter of demands

In the last 60 years of Indian history people were made to bend in front of the elected representatives, administration and judiciary. People of this country accepted that they can only request and this up the system to give or not to give. Janadesh is not a process of requesting, the word JAN stand for people and AADESH for direction. People are going to direct the government on what is good for a nation. This brings about a radical shift in the approach of the people which itself is big jump. We believe that the people are not here only to elect leaders but also to direct them. A good coat from Mahatma Gandhi will be “………though democracy”.

This time Janadesh is directing the government to take three steps immediately.
 
What Need to be Done

  • Acquire land for redistribution to the poor and dispossessed people.
  • Housing for the poor should be the first priority of non-agricultural land use.
  • Net potential loss of livelihood resources should be accessed thoroughly and seriously before industrial and development projects are sanctioned.
  • Eminent domain of the State should mean using/utilising  land for creating equity & justice in the society.

Expectations from National Land Authority
  • Providing a clear picture of land utilization in India and update State Land Records
  • Identify available land for redistribution with the help of State government and its concerned departments
  • Strengthen various pro-poor laws related to land and livelihood resources like the Land Ceiling Act, Panchyat Extension in Scheduled Area, Tenancy Act etc.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world... as in being able to remake ourselves.
