India, Nov. 25 -- The government has begun the process of collecting details of landless Dalits with the aim of managing landless people and unsystematic settlers.

According to Damodar Wagle, deputy spokesperson for the Ministry of Land, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation, the Ministry is coordinating with local governments across the country to prepare these records.

The data will be collected through a one-door system to prevent duplication, he said. The Ministry has also asked local governments to follow the prescribed standards when recommending landless squatters and unsystematic settlers. He added that managing landless squatters is the responsibility of the State, and landless Dalits have been given priority in this process.
