A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
The Antyodaya Saral Haryana Portal is a pioneering initiative by the Government of Haryana aimed at providing citizens with seamless access to a wide range of government services
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

23. Section11(3) KLC Act
• “Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2),
where the Collector is of opinion in any case falling under
sub-section (1) that it is expedient in the public interest to
take urgent action without following the procedure laid
down in sub-section (2) he may, after recording his
reasons for so doing issue a notice to the person in
occupation calling upon him to vacate the land within such
period as may be specified in the notice, and if the land is
not vacated within the said period, any officer authorised
by the Collector may enter upon the land and take
possession of the same, if necessary by using such force as
the circumstances may justify”
24. Rule 13A of KLC Rules
• “Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing
rules,where the Collector is of opinion that it is expedient
in the public interest to remove an unauthorised
occupation, he may,after recording the reasons therefore,
serve or cause to serve a notice in Form ‘CC’ appended to
these rules on the person in occupation directing him to
vacate the land within such period as may be specified
therein, and if the land is not so vacated within the said
period, any officer authorised by the Collector may enter
upon the land and take possession of the same, if necessary
by using such force as the circumstances of the case may
justify.”
25. • “serve a notice in Form ‘CC’”
• “expedient in the public interest”
• “recording the reasons”
(This space is the form is always left blank!)
• “take possession”
(Sometimes not done. Procedure completed on paper
alone)
• ………any missing link renders it vulnerable.
The vital legal ingredients
26. Why the easy way out?
• This route provides ‘single’ step action.
• There is perceived ‘fast’ action on the field.
• Administration looks ‘responsive’, sounds
‘energetic’.
• Public ‘sees’ results in a matter of days.
• Very impressive….but
27. Easy,but invalid!
• Repeatedly, the High Court has held such a summary
eviction without giving an opportunity for hearing as
‘violation of Principles of Natural Justice’
• Fast action under Form ‘CC’ seems administratively
easy,or rather too simplistic a solution; but in a Court of
law it simply does not survive.
• Often the High Court has remitted the case back directing
that Form ‘CC’ should be treated as a Notice. This would
render Form ‘CC’ as Form ‘C’ itself!
• Effectively, there is nothing called ‘summary eviction!
28. The Judicial blunders
……………….……..with due respect.
• The Munsiff Courts seem to be unaware of ousting of their
jurisdiction u/s.20A.
• Often they seem to be even unaware of the perpetual caveat
for the Government u/s.80 of CPC which reads:
“
(1)Save as otherwise provided in sub-section (2), no suits
[shall be instituted] against the Government or against a
public officer in respect of any act purporting to be done by
such officer in his official capacity, until the expiration of
two months next after notice in writing has been
[delivered to, or left at the office of]-
…………. c) in the case of a suit against [any other State
Government], a Secretary to that Government or the Collector
of the district;
29. • ……(2) A suit to obtain an urgent or immediate relief against the
Government (including the Government of the State of Jammu &
Kashmir) or any public officer in respect of any act purporting to
be done by such public officer in his official capacity, may be
instituted, with the leave of the Court, without serving any notice
as required by sub-section (1); but the Court shall not grant relief
in the suit, whether interim or otherwise, except after giving to the
Government or public officer, as the case may be, a reasonable
opportunity of showing cause in respect of the relief prayed for in
the suit”
• No reasonable opportunity/any opportunity is given!
• A casual survey can verify that Section 80 Notice has
become a rarity, while it is the mandated rule!
• Officers are forced to file caveats.
• And when the officers file a caveat, they become
villains….??!!
30. • The High Court has on one occasion passed
strictures against a Tahsildar for filing such a
caveat while the law of the land mandates a caveat
automatically!
• The Hon’ble High Court observed:
– “ I am not happy with the conduct of the Tahsildar. I
also note the contention of the petitioner that the
Tahsildar has even filed a caveat application before the
Subordinate Court, Quilandy, against the petitioner
anticipating that the petitioner may file a suit.”
• Maybe,the Government side is often not well
represented.
• Besides,the encroachers have the services of the
legal eagles.

32. To rejuvenate summary eviction
• Section 11(3) is for use in emergent situations which
should necessarily be protected.
• It may be suitably amended to provide for hearing
opportunity, but after the summary eviction.
• Post facto hearing will satisfy ‘natural justice’ requirement
(Maneka Gandhi case says - ‘post facto hearing also
satisfies the requirement of natural justice’). If upon
hearing, it is found that the eviction was not necessary, the
land could be handed back. Till then no property shall be
demolished
• Such an amendment alone will make this section valid in
Court.
33. To effectively oust Civil Court
Jurisdiction
Section 20A of KLC Act: “Bar of jurisdiction of civil
courts-1) No civil court shall have jurisdiction to entertain
any suit or proceeding for the eviction of any person who
is in unauthorised occupation of any land which is the
property of Government….”
• So, an encroacher can still approach a Civil Court for relief
with a contention that the land does not belong to the
Government at all or that he is not in ‘unauthorised’
occupation citing some lease deed etc.
34. • For the ‘bar of jurisdiction’ to be in operation, as per the
present Act, it has become the onus of the Government to
prove in the Munsiff Court that the land indeed is
Government Property and that the occupation is
unauthorised. Injunctions are plenty! (In violation of s.80 of
C.P.C)
The Bar of jurisdiction of Civil Court should be of a blanket
nature concerning all procedures under this Act. Judicial
Review is not lost as the High Court can anytime intervene.
It may now read, “No civil court shall have jurisdiction to
entertain any suit or proceeding for the eviction under this
Act….”
35. 1. The fine imposable u/s.7 of KLC Act should be hiked and
should have a band varying with extent of occupation and
the land value etc .
2. Prohibitory assessment as provided for u/s.8 should be
revised and made truly prohibitory by amending the rules
made there under. If the Collector is satisfied, the rates
imposable should be in lakhs.
3. A specific provision should be introduced to provide for
removing a tenant who is unauthorisedly holding over
even after the expiry of his term of lease over government
land.
Number of People refusing to vacate government land
after expiry of lease is rising.They find litigation easier.
Other amendments badly in need…
36. Of Panchayats and Municipalities
• Largescale encroachment of LSG body owned
land (eg. Puzha puramboke) is taking place.
• Places like Municipal bus-stands have illegal
encroachment and largescale unauthorised shops.
• Unfortunately,LSGs due to vested interests or due
to other reasons do not remove them.Corruption is
also a factor.
• Even law & order issues have resulted of late.
• Undoubtedly, Revenue Department is bound to
protect Government land.The KLC Act also says
the same.
37. .….Panchayats & Municipalities
• However, in the Court of law, an eviction of such an
encroachment is often annulled solely because the LSG Body
had not asked the Revenue authorities to remove the
encroachment in writing.
• Though the Act nowhere says of such a requirement, the
Courts have interpreted that the ‘owner’ should raise a
complaint. This has to be rectified with an amendment.
• Specific provision should be incorporated stating that unless
the local body has on record regularised and legally
authorised any occupation, the Revenue authorities are
empowered to evict such encroachments without receiving
any written complaint from the LSG.
• Any occupier of Government land should necessarily be
having a legal document authorising him. Or else, he is liable
to be evicted by Revenue authorities.
38. To act…enact
• The Act needs timely ‘fine tuning’ so as to enable
it to be in action.
• The legal support apparatus in the form of
Government Pleaders need to have better liaison.
• Proper & timely communication of Orders and
judgments in writing to be made mandatory.( Non-
existent ‘stays’ have been many a time orally
passed on by the encroachers’ lawyers, thus
paralysing the whole effort.)
