Institute for Motivating Self-Employment (IMSE)
IMSE was established in 1970 with the aim of combining their development
actions with a mass movement to bring about meaningful social change. Its
programs cover a few hundred villages in West Bengal, Bihar and Orissa in
eastern India.
In West Bengal (India) where land reform is more advanced than in other
regions in the sub-continent, initiatives in the form of movements and
campaigns by civil-society organizations have been able to pressure the
management to enact laws and implement land reform procedures up to a
certain point.
Nevertheless, the post land reform situation in West Bengal has been
neglected by the State since the early 1980s despite pressing problems in

to new agricultural technology, and neglect of women's land rights.
Realizing this, IMSE has been conducting a comprehensive and meticulous
research on the current situation.
