This law governs the ownership and use of village common lands in Himachal Pradesh. It transfers the rights to these lands to eligible residents, including landless people, the homeless, and the disabled, for purposes like grazing, fuel collection, and public facilities. By giving these resources to the poor, the Act aims to improve livelihoods and ensure that village commons are used for the benefit of the community rather than being neglected or misused.
