The Indian government is preparing the ground for structural reforms in land governance and women's economic participation, two people familiar with the matter said, requesting not to be identified.

The initiatives, described as part of next-generation reforms, seek to tackle some of the most intractable challenges in India's development story.

Two high-level committees formed in August by the government on its Viksit Bharat development goals will lead discussions on these reforms.
