Land Reform Issues and Tenancy Reforming System for Agricultural Land.
Project Brief :

A research based project meant for analysis on the current scenario of agricultural land reform issues and tenancy system in Indian agriculture. One of the major sources of crop production, is depends upon the quality and amount of agricultural land acquired by the farmers. To overcome with such land acquisition problem, in few states of our country farmers used to take agri based land on lease as their necessity from the owner of the land. According to the present system there is a direct dealing between the landowner and lease holder for keeping agricultural land on lease. The current system, allows sharing of 50% of total crop production fertile from the provided leased land, among the dealers. Due to dealing opposition, unconditional whether and low productive cost and fertility, the system is slowly decreasing the interest between dealers ( farmers and land owners) to continue it. In this proposed system, we have just added a mediator a third party between lease owner and lease holder. Here the govt. or any corporate sector acts the role of mediator. This mediator serves well management service between these two people (dealers).
