In the current political and social scenario in the country, where division, as opposed to unity, is being encouraged in every strata of society, it is not surprising that the incidence of disputes are on the rise in rural areas. Most of the disputes are of a civil nature and have basically evolved from petty issues. The major drawback of these disputes is that they impede the progress of both the individuals involved, and well as the community as a whole, since warring neighbours do not want to work together for their common benefit. Also, as India’s legal system is overburdened, court cases taken several years to be resolved.
Deendayal Research Institute developed a unique approach for settlement of disputes through mutual understanding among the concerned parties.
