This Act regulates the allotment of unoccupied land in villages across Madhya Pradesh. It applies to villagers who built homes or structures before December 31, 2014, granting them ownership rights known as Bhumiswami rights. The law specifically targets land that was previously unoccupied or protected forest, but it excludes areas near highways, development zones, or government reserves. The State Government can make rules to manage the allotment process, ensuring that eligible residents receive up to sixty square meters of land to secure their housing and livelihoods.
