In the late decades, we can see the some salient changes in the features of developing countries. One of them is that land has become very scarce.

In Karnataka, most of these kinds of lands are dry land, which has been exerted for improving the status of farmers by irrigation. We will discuss the relation between “public” works and the system of management of conflicts between actors.
