A Commitment to Empowerment

The Roshni Act, officially known as the Jammu and Kashmir State Lands (Vesting of Ownership to the Occupants) Act, was originally introduced in the early 2000s. It aimed to confer ownership rights of state land to the land occupants, particularly the underprivileged, who had been living on such land for years. The scheme was envisioned to empower the marginalized, provide them with a sense of security, and stimulate economic development in the region.
