ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

The India Land and Development Conference (ILDC) returns for 2024, bringing together industry experts, practitioners, policymakers, and stakeholders in land and development from around the world as an international conference.

The conference seeks innovative and thought-provoking contributions from individuals, institutions, and partnerships. Continuing the tradition of previous years, ILDC 2024 will facilitate enriching interdisciplinary conversations through various formats including presentations, panel discussions, round tables, master classes, lightning talks, and focused conclaves.

In addition to intellectual deliberations, ILDC 2024 will host pre- and post-conference events designed to foster networking among land actors from India and abroad. As India's premier platform for land professionals, ILDC attracts participants from government, civil society, academia, the private sector, entrepreneurship, the media, and international organizations. We invite proposals for papers, posters, displays, and sessions, as well as inquiries about partnerships and sponsorships.

ILDC 2024 THEMES

ILDC 2024 Themes
The theme of the 8th edition of ILDC is “Land Tenure Transitions: Climatisation or Communitisation”, to highlight the spurt in global climate actions engulfing substantive land and nature, especially in the majority world, and how this burgeoning ecosystem, with forces of finance, science, and multiple new actors, interacts with and influences the local lands, communities, their wellbeings, and tenure.

This year, unfolding dimensions and nuances of land-people relations through the lens of community stewardship and climate resilience will be the focus of the conference. The evolving dynamics of land use changes and administration innovations and how they affect local communities' role in managing, preserving, and caring for land will form the basis of most conversations.
