पट्टा जमीन के लिए 22 साल की लंबे संघर्ष के बाद, धनोरिया गाँव की रामप्यारी बाई को 1.35 हेक्टेयर जमीन मिली, लेकिन उन्हें इसकी भारी कीमत चुकानी पड़ी। 2 जुलाई को उसे जला दिया गया और 8 जुलाई को उनकी मौत हो गई। गाँव कनेक्शन ने मध्य प्रदेश के गुना जिले में अपने गाँव की यात्रा की और पाया कि कई आदिवासी परिवार हैं जिनके नाम पर जमीन का पट्टा है, लेकिन उस जमीन तक उनकी पहुंच नहीं है। अभी भी यहां जमीनों पर जमींदारों का कब्जा है।
