HER LAND HER STORY

“I could not provide education to my children as I had no
residential proof. With the patta, at least my grandchildren
are in school now.”

Sixty two year old Labara Nayeeka’s ordeal started when she came to her in-laws village as a newly-wed. Her husband’s family lived in a ramshackle thatched hut that did not offer much protection from the vagaries of weather. Without a piece of land of its own, the family worked as agricultural labourers.
Income depended on the whims and fancies of the land ownership and without the job card; she had no access to NREGS. Survival used to be difficult with low and uncertain income.
Labara’s long, painful ordeal recently came to an end when she got a piece of homestead land measuring four decimals under OTELP’s comprehensive land allocation programme.
With support from OTELP in the form of saplings and know-how, Labara started her own backyard vegetable garden. She now has a home, food from her own garden, an identity which
enables her to access various schemes including free education for her grandchildren. Life has indeed come full circle for Labara’s family.

HER LAND HER STORY

“I have an identity of my own. The patta has rekindled my
repressed hopes. I am ready to dream now”

Fate has not been kind to Gomati Harijan, a 40 year old childless widow. Along with poverty, she has partial blindness that restricts her physical movement. As if that is not enough, she has also been suffering from a chronic skin disease.
With her adverse physical condition, she has no option but to fend for herself. Loneliness and insecurity compelled her to adopt her eight year old nephew. “If I work, I get to eat. If I don’t, I have to go hungry. It is as simple as that,” she says in a matter of fact voice. Despite her countless maladies, an unusual boldness in her enabled her to take these adversities in her stride and move on.
Through OTELP’s intervention, Gomati’s hitherto uncertain and distorted life got a firm dimension. The CRP enlisted her as homesteadless and helped her in the entire process to ensure
that this deprived woman gets a legal title to her own home.
Patta to a homestead measuring four decimals has given her much more than just a roof overhead – an identity of her own. She now looks forward to a life loaded with dreams and happiness.
