 Hi, I am Pranab Chaudhary, I am the Center for Land Governance, NRNC. I work from Bhuvaneswar, western India. So, about six months back, we started thinking about organizing a kind of platform where different land stakeholders in India can come together and discuss about land and how land can shape the development in India. So, we thought that it has to be inclusive conversation. It has to be with people from different sectors, from government, from corporate, from civil society, from academia, from legal fraternity. Keeping that in mind, when we started setting up an organizing committee where we could bring in people from different sectors and different levels of institutions and we were very happy that when we approached, all of them came together and all of them are willing to support this cause through different kind of contributions at the time, resources and finally this conference happened and we were very happy to see that this conference could bring in about 150 people. It is the first episode of the conference in India and they came from 15 states, they came from the government of India, government of different states, they came from civil society, they came from academia, they came from legal fraternity and they were engaged in a kind of very endless discussion around eight conference themes and there was a plenary around, a couple of new players came up with the suggestion of different stakeholders. For example, we had a land dialogue where people discuss about many innovative transformations that are carrying out in the field. We had a session on urban panel where they discussed about urban land governance and it was for the first time this, because when we talk about land, it is always, you know, in India land is in a rural context. So for the first time we could find people who are discussing about land in a rural context and urban context coming together and discuss the same thing and really we were very happy about it and with this encouraging response we look forward to see how we take it forward. We are more challenged now but I think with the response we will be taking it forward and we will try to organize it more frequently with more number of stakeholders. Thank you.
