Big
thanks to God and KSSC
Triyogi Lal Kori was one of the first Ukhada farmers in Kapilvastu
who received legal proof of his landownership by the help of
Kalika Self-Reliance Center (KSSC). After 40 years of struggling
with his land lord he finally succeeded in obtaining the right to
the soil he and his father have worked in for many years.
“I received a letter from KSSC telling me that I was going to be
hakim (boss) of my own land. I brought my proof to the ‘Ukhada’
office at KSSC and took a copy. I left my document at the office
and KSSC sent the copy to the land office. Within one month my
case was handled. I am very happy. I would like to thank ALL,!”
says Triyogi Lal Kori with a big smile.
He and his wife, and their 12 year s old son live in Gotihawa VDC.
In his area he was the last one to have his case finished. All his
neighbours had finished their process of obtaining land from their
land lords after the Ukhada court opened in 2021 B.S. To Triyogi
Lal Kori, who also works as a laborer, it means a lot to finally
become the legal owner of his land: “Now I have land and I am a
land lord myself. It gives me financial security. If I urgently
need some money I can just go and make a deposit in the bank and
take a loan. If I sell my land it will bring me about 20000
rupees.
