Bhoomi Samman is a social movement in India that seeks to promote land rights for women. The movement was founded in 2005 by Manju Vyas, a social activist from Rajasthan. Bhoomi Samman works to educate women about their land rights and to help them to register their land in their own names. The movement has also been successful in lobbying the government to pass laws that protect women’s land rights.
Bhoomi Samman is an important movement because it is working to address the issue of gender inequality in India. In India, women are often denied access to land, which can lead to poverty and social exclusion. Bhoomi Samman is working to change this by empowering women with the knowledge and resources they need to protect their land rights.

The movement is continuing to work to promote land rights for women and to create a more just and equitable society.
