Liberalising tenancy or grabbing land of the poor? - Vikas Rawal & Vaishali Bansal

NSSO data shows that of the total land under tenancy in 2011-12, about 36% was taken on lease by top 30% landowners.

The State in India, barring the Left-led governments, has never been committed to implementing redistributive land reforms and securing rights of tenants. After 1991, when India adopted the policies of liberalisation and globalisation, the government stopped paying even the lip service to the programme of land reforms as they did until then. In fact, some of the recent policy documents, most notably the 2016 Report of the Haque Committee, have openly argued for reversing land reform laws.

The Haque Committee, constituted by Niti Aayog soon after it was created, recommended that restrictions on leasing of land have resulted in inefficient utilisation of land, and have worked against the interests of small landowners. It has proposed that liberalising tenancy markets would allow owners of small, uneconomic holdings to lease out their lands to large landowners, and move to other occupations. In a recent article in the Indian Express, Ashok Gulati and Ritika Juneja have also argued that tenancy markets should be liberalised in order to protect the rights of the landowners.
