The survey also provided an insight into the socio-economic conditions of the tenant farmers, finding that a majority of them are OBCs and Dalits.

Hyderabad: A field study by the Rythu Swarajya Vedika (RSV) has made several revelations about the conditions of farmers in Telangana, including that one in every three farmers is a tenant farmer.

The findings of the first-of-its-kind survey done in Telangana after its formation in 2014, run contrary to many claims made by the state government, said S. Ashalatha who revealed the findings in a press conference.

The modus operandi of the survey involved a door-to-door survey of 7,744 farmers in 34 villages in 20 districts across the state. It found that 2,753 were tenant farmers, which amounts to 35.6% or more than one in three farmers. If the figure is extrapolated to the whole state, there will be nearly 22 lakh tenant farmers, the study estimates.

The survey also found that 523 tenant farmers are landless, i.e. 6.8% of the total farmers and 19% of the tenant farmers.

The trend of increasing tenancy was evident from previous studies by the NITI Aayog in 2015. The committee had pegged the tenancy in Telangana at 13.56%. Even the 77th NSSO report cites the increase in tenancy from 4.7% in 2002-03 to 17.5% in 2018-19. It added that the total land under tenancy also rose from 3.1% in 2002-03 to 11.9% in 2018-19.

Presenting the report, Kiran Vissa of the RSV, said that the claim that tenant farmers cannot be identified as the land they till is ever-changing does not hold because the survey found that 72% of tenant farmers tend the same land for more than three years. Only a minority rent the land for one or two years.
