Since its inception on November 14, 2022, Mission Basundhara 2.0 has been instrumental in empowering landless indigenous people and weaker sections of society by securing their rightful ownership of land.
The program offers low or easy premium options for landless Scheduled Tribes, Scheduled Castes, Persons with Disabilities, widows without earning members, and cultivators with no regular income. One of the primary objectives of Mission Basundhara 2.0 is to secure the land rights of tribal communities holding hereditary lands.
