CHAPTER 1
Historical Background and Organisation of Agriculture Census
Growth of Land Records System
1.1.1 From the earliest times, India’s self-sufficient villages constituted the hub of rural
economy based on agriculture. Land Revenue was one of the main sources of State Income.
Collection of land revenue necessitated maintenance of some records relating to cultivation.
In the 16th century, Sher Shah Suri initiated land settlement operations for assessment and
collection of land revenue. This was later systematized during the reign of Akbar, when
Todar Mal reorganized the entire land revenue system.
1.1.2 The British Empire inherited a well laid out land records system from Mughals.
They made drastic changes with a view to further improve land revenue system and augment
the State revenue, as this constituted the main source of State income. These changes
resulted in the development of two major types of land revenue systems. In Bengal and the
adjacent areas, permanent settlement was introduced where private landlords were created to
whom Government granted some but not all rights of private property in land. The new
landlords acted as intermediaries between the Government and the actual cultivators. This
land revenue system came to be known as Zamindari system. In large parts of Bombay and
Madras, an entirely different land revenue system was developed wherein only temporary
settlements were made. In this system, the Government directly dealt with the cultivators or
ryots. This system came to be known as Ryotwari system. Many changes were made in
these systems during the course of nineteenth century.
1.1.3 After the attainment of Independence, land laws were aimed at bringing the peasant
and State into direct contact. In areas where the Zamindari system prevailed, new laws
provided for abolition of intermediaries. In areas where Ryotwari system prevailed, the laws
aimed at providing protection to the tenants, actual tillers of the land. These tenant laws had
two main objectives. The first was to protect tenants against eviction by granting to them
permanent occupancy rights on the Agriculture land they had been tilling. The second was to
reduce rents by fixing upper limits.
1.1.4 The gradual evolution of the land record system in the country necessitated
maintenance of village forms and registers giving details of land held,various conditions
under which these were held. A regular system of revenue administration was established for
the purpose. The main objective of these forms and registers has been to furnish basic
material for periodic revision of land revenue assessment, settlement of newly occupied
lands, suspension and remission of land revenue in the event of calamities affecting crop
production, preparation of annual statement of demand of land revenue from holders and
other aspects of land revenue administration. These forms and registers of various States
agree to a large extent in essential details. Yet, with variations in the systems of land revenue
assessment and administration, they show variations from State to State in the form and
manner of their preparation and inclusion or exclusion of certain more detailed information.
These forms and registers, in vogue for the maintenance of land records in different States,
constitute the basis for the land utilisation, crops and irrigation statistics. These land record
forms and registers are prepared on complete enumeration basis in all the States except for
Kerala, Odisha, West Bengal, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Manipur, Tripura and some of the
Union Territories. Detailed procedures for preparing and maintaining them are available in
Land Record Manuals of respective States.
1.1.5 Changes in the content and coverage of forms have been made from time to time, to
meet increasing requirements of data for planning and implementation of Agriculture
development programmes. Agricultural Statistics in India have thus grown with the evolution
of land records system in the country.
1.1.6 With the ushering in of the planning era since 1951-52, number of schemes have
been undertaken to improve the reporting of Agricultural statistics for use of policies and
programmes relating to procurement of foodgrains, imports, exports and pricing of
Agricultural commodities etc. Efforts have been made to introduce a complete field to field
enumeration system in the three permanently settled states of Kerala, Odisha and West
Bengal as per the recommendation made by the National Commission on Agriculture. The
National Commission on Agriculture after examining various alternatives for collection of
Agricultural statistics, had come to the conclusion that the collection of data based on land
records is the best option, provided the basic records are maintained properly. Since the basic
land records are maintained by the Patwari, he is the best person to do the crop inspection.
He is the most knowledgeable man in the field and, as such, the most suitable person for
collecting the reliable information. The basic structure for collection of Agricultural statistics
can be improved by enabling the Patwaris to do their job better and also to ensure that
Patwaris and Revenue Inspectors at higher level devote adequate attention to the collection of
Agricultural statistics and assign top priority to the work especially during the period of crop
inspection. For this purpose, the jurisdiction of Patwari should be reduced to manageable
proportion in the States where it is widely spread. Secondly, intensive supervision both by
normal revenue agencies and statistical staff should be organized to ensure quality of data at
the primary level. The primary and supervisory agencies, therefore, need to be suitably
strengthened.
1.1.8 While the system of Agricultural statistics that was in vogue in the country provided
for aggregates at various geographical levels, data on structure of holdings had not been
tabulated. As early as 1830, the Famine Inquiry Committee stressed the need for adequate
statistics of land holdings. Again the Famine Inquiry Commission of 1945 tried to gauge the
relationships between the land tenure systems and the efficiency of Agricultural production
but the Commission was handicapped in this regard due to non-availability of data in respect
of ownership and cultivator’s holdings and the Commission made a number of
recommendations for improvement of Agricultural Statistics. Due to various reasons, these
recommendations were not given effect to.
1.1.10 The Government of India wanted to take the opportunity of the 1950 round of the
World Census of Agriculture to overhaul the country’s machinery for collection of
Agricultural Statistics. A Technical Committee on Coordination of Agricultural Statistics was
set up by the Ministry of Agriculture for the purpose. The Committee worked out detailed
forms for collecting comprehensive data relating to the Agricultural economy of the country.
The Committee’s recommendations for carrying out a census with 1950-51 as the reference
year could not, however, be implemented due to constraints on resources. The Third World
Agriculture Census was carried out in 1960. Here also India could not go in for a
comprehensive Agriculture Census in the country.
Agriculture year 1953-54 during the 8th round of NSS (1954-55). For the 1960 round of
World Agriculture Census, data were collected during the 16th round (1960-61) and 17th
round (1961-62) of NSS. These gave estimates for the country as a whole and for States.
These estimates were of limited value for micro level planning, say, for district or lower
regional levels. NSSO also carried out a sample survey of land holdings in its 26thand
37throunds.
1.1.13 Thus, the first comprehensive Agriculture Census in India was carried out with the
Agriculture year 1970-71 as the reference period.
1975-76 as the reference period. However, a number of changes were likely to take place in
the existing land records during 1975-76 and since land records constituted the base for the
Agriculture Census in most parts of the country, it was decided to postpone the reference
year from 1975-76 to 1976-77. In the 1976-77 Agriculture Census, Sikkim and Mizoram
were also covered for the first time to make the coverage complete. But the 1976-77 Census
could not be carried out in Punjab for some reasons but estimates were generated on the basis
of trend observed in neighboring State of Haryana.
Input Survey
1.1.16 The scope of the 1976-77 Agriculture Census was also widened to include a
separate Input Survey to obtain information on the use of various inputs such as fertiliser,
manures, pesticides, Agriculture implements and machinery, livestock for five broad size
groups of operational holdings, viz. marginal, small, semi-medium, medium and large.
in the country. The basic unit of collecting data in Agriculture Census is the `Agriculture
Operational Holding’ as distinct from `Ownership Holding’. This is so as the operational
holding is the fundamental unit of decision making in agricultural planning. Agriculture
Census is conducted in most parts of the country, where detailed village land records exist, on
complete enumeration basis by retabulating the data available in these records into the
prescribed schedules for Agriculture Census by consolidating the information of all parcels of
each of the operational holding, in the village of residence of the operational holder. In the
States where detailed land records do not exist, the Agriculture Census is carried out through
sample surveys by household inquiry approach.
1.2.2 Agriculture Census in India coordinated by the Agriculture Census Division of the
Ministry of Agriculture requires a high degree of coordination, technical expertise, statistical
control and supervision over the States. The data collected through Agriculture Census is in
the nature of supplement to the current Agricultural Statistics. Under the current Agricultural
Statistics, coordinated by the Directorate of Economics & Statistics of the Ministry of
Agriculture, data on area, yield and production estimates are generated every year, for
different seasons and details are also available for a variety of crops. The current statistics,
however, provide for broad aggregates for various administrative units but not by size
classes, social groups, types of holdings and gender. In planning for Agricultural
development in the country, the data pertaining to various categories of farmers such as
marginal, small, semi-medium, medium and large are important and it is this specific aspect
that is attempted through Agriculture Census to provide data by various size classes, social
groups, types of holding and gender and thus, compliments the current Agricultural Statistics
in the country.
1.2.4 The Agriculture Census is conducted in three phases. In Phase I, all the operational
holdings in the country are enumerated and results giving number and area of operational
holdings at various administrative levels like Block/Tehsil, District and State are generated
according to various social groups, size classes, types of holdings and gender. In Phase II,
only 20 percent of the villages in each Tehsil or Block are selected and detailed information
on aspects such as tenancy, land use, irrigation, cropping pattern of all the operational
holdings of these selected villages is collected. In Phase III of the Agriculture Census which
is known as Input Survey, the data is collected on use of different inputs from selected
holdings of selected villages (7 per cent).
1.2.5 So far nine Agriculture Censuses, at five yearly intervals, starting from 1970-71
have been completed. In addition to Agriculture Census, an Input Survey is also conducted in
the following year of the Agriculture Census at the interval of five years to collect
information on use of various inputs like fertilizers, manures, Agriculture credit, implements
and machinery, seeds, livestock etc. So far eight Input Surveys since 1976-77 have been
completed.

CHAPTER 2
Concepts, Definitions, Methodology and Scope of Census Data
2.1 Operational Holding
2.1.1 All land which is used wholly or partly for Agricultural production and is operated
as one technical unit by one person alone or with others without regard to the title, legal form,
size or location.
2.2.1 A technical unit has been defined as the unit which is under the same management
and has the same means of production such as labour force, machinery, animals, credit etc.
2.3.1 Agricultural production includes growing of field crops including jute, oilseeds,
fodder grass, seeds, tree nurseries (except those of forest trees), fruits, vegetables and flowers,
plantation crops (coffee, tea, cocoa, rubber), etc.
2.3.2 Grass would be treated as a crop if special efforts are made to raise it.
2.4.1 In most of the States, land records comprising records of the rights, tenancy and
crop inspection of each survey number are maintained in various registers/forms by the
revenue official, namely, Patwaris. In these States, generally Agriculture Census data are
compiled on the basis of retabulation approach. The question that arose in adopting this
approach was about the reliability of data regarding tenancy particulars, as the de facto
position may be different from de jure position. The de facto position related to what was
actually the situation on the ground. In order to get reliable data on de facto position, the
concerned States undertook updating of records on the eve of the Census to reduce de jure
error. However, marginal differences may still exist though the primary workers were
generally knowledgeable enough to record accurately the actual situation as far as possible.
2.5.1 Operated area includes both cultivated and uncultivated area, provided part of it is
put to Agricultural production during the reference period. If, for instance, an operational
holding consists of four survey numbers out of which one survey number is put to non-
Agricultural uses, the total area of the operational holding is equal to the total geographical
area of all the four survey numbers.
2.5.2 It would also cover the land occupied by the farm buildings, including the house of
the holder, provided such buildings are located within the operated area. If the farms
buildings are located outside the cultivated area and are covered under abadi area, such area
of buildings are not included under operated area.
2.5.3 Operated area exclude government forest land, government waste land, village
common grazing land, abadi area etc. If Government wasteland is allotted to an individual
then it is included in the holding.
2.5.4 If the entire area of the holding (the area of all the survey numbers of an operational
holding) is put to non-Agriculture use and/or it is under old fallow, it is not considered as
operational holding. If, however, the entire area of operational holding is under current fallow
during the reference year but was cultivated in the preceding year, this is still considered as
operational holding.
2.5.5 In some cases, land is divided amongst all the members of the family. Where it is
divided between the husband, wife and minor children and the cultivation is done by the
husband as the head of the family, the land may appropriately be treated as one operational
holding.
2.5.6 There might be cases where in the records, a holding is shown jointly in the name of
more than one co-sharer while in fact the land may have been privately divided and the co-
sharers are independently cultivating. In such cases where there is no dispute, they are treated
as many operational holdings as the number of independent cultivators. This is because in
Agriculture Census the data is collected on the basis of de facto position rather than de jure
position.
2.5.7 In some States, in the Zamabandi register against a Khata, name of three or four
persons are shown. While from the records it appears that there is only one holding, in
practice, all the three or four brothers are actually cultivating the land independently of each
other although there is no legal partition of land. From the Census point of view, this
constituted three or four operational holdings.
2.5.8 Cultivated areas in the State Forests for which no detailed land records are available
with the revenue agency, are excluded for Census purposes.
2.5.10 Land owned and self-operated: Land for which the cultivator has the right to
permanent heritable possession is considered as owned. This include:
i) Land held from Government or others under grant or lease or assignment with
right of permanent heritable possession with or without right of transfer
ii) Land operated under perpetual lease.
i) Self cultivation
ii) Land cultivated through members of the family
iii) Land cultivated with the help of hired labour. Land owned and self operated
should not include land leased out to others.
2.5.11 Leased in: Area leased in is defined as land taken on lease from others without
any permanent right of possession for the lessee. Land may be leased in for:
i) Fixed money
ii) Fixed produce
iii) Share of produce
iv) Usufructrary mortgage: Ownership of the property remains with the mortgager
but the possession is with the mortgagee (i.e. the person to whom the mortgage is
made or given). Income from the property accrues to the mortgagee and the mortgage
is terminated as soon as the full amount is realized.
v) Other terms: It includes combination of two or more terms of leasing.
2.5.12 Area otherwise operated: This include encroachment, land forcibly occupied,
unauthorized or land in dispute etc., which cannot be treated as owned or leased in, as per the
definitions given above.
2.6.1 An Operational holder is the person who has the responsibility for the operation of
the Agricultural holding and who exercises the technical initiative and is responsible for its
operation. He may have full economic responsibility or may share it with others. The
operational holder may be Individual/Joint/ Institutional.
2.7.1 All the cultivators residing in a particular village and cultivating some land within
the same tehsil are resident cultivators of that village irrespective of the fact whether they are
cultivating land in that village or not. A resident cultivator may, therefore, have: either (i)
entire area of the holding located in the village of his residence; or (ii) partly within the
village of residence and partly outside; or (iii) entirely outside the village of residence.
2.7.2 An operational holder operating area outside the tehsil in which his village of
residence falls, will not be treated as a resident cultivator of the village of his residence for
Agriculture Census purposes rather he will be treated as a resident cultivator of that village
outside the tehsil where the area falls.
2.7.3 If the area in a particular village is operated by a cultivator who resides outside that
village but within the same tehsil, he is a non-resident operational holder for that area.
However, if this operational holder is resident of a village lying outside the tehsil in which
the area is located, he is treated as a resident operational holder (deemed resident) of the
village where the area is located.
2.8 Complete/Part-Holding
2.8.1 A holding is said to be complete holding if the entire operated area of that holding is
located in one village. If the operated area is spread over more than one village, it is
considered as part-holding.
2.8.2 Tehsil/Block is taken as the outer limit for consolidation of part holdings.
2.10.2 Net area sown: Total area sown with crops and orchards counting area sown more
than once in the same year only once.
2.10.3 Current fallow: Cropped area, which are kept fallow during the current year but
was cultivated in the previous year. For example with any seedling area is not cropped in the
same year, it may be treated as current fallow.
2.10.4 Fallow land other than current fallow: All lands, which are taken up for
cultivation but are temporarily out of cultivation for a period of not less than one year and not
more than five years i.e. equal or greater than one year but less than or equal to five years.
thatching grasses, bamboo bushes and other groves for fuel which are not included
under `Orchards’,are covered under this category.
2.10.6 Culturable Waste: All lands available for cultivation whether not taken up for
cultivation or taken up for cultivation once but not cultivated during the current year and the
last five years or more in succession for one reason or the other i.e. >5 years in succession.
Such lands may be either wholly or partly covered with shrubs and jungles, which are not put
to any use. Land once cultivated but not cultivated for five years in succession are also
included in this category.
2.10.7 Not available for cultivation: This include Forest area under non-Agriculture use,
barren and uncultivable land belonging to the operational holder.
i) Forest: All lands classed as `Forests’ under any legal enactment dealing with
forests or administered as forests whether State owned or private and whether
weeded or maintained as potential forest land. The area of crops raised in the forest
and grazing land or areas open for grazing within the forests would be included
under the forest area. Only private forest is covered for the purpose of Agriculture
Census.
ii) Area under Non-Agricultural Uses: All lands occupied by buildings or ponds
or lands put to use other than agriculture is included in this category. Only such lands
within the cultivated holding of operational holder should be covered in the Census.
iii) Barren and Uncultivable Land: All barren and uncultivable land within the
cultivated holding of the operational holder should be covered in the Census.
2.11.1 The methodology adopted for carrying out the Agriculture Census for Land Record
and non-Land Record States is as follows:-
relating to the above characteristics were compiled from the relevant Khatauni and
Khasra registers in respect of all the resident cultivators. Resident cultivators of urban
areas were also covered. These 20 percent villages were the same as selected under
TRS.
ii) In most of the States in India, a fairly comprehensive system of land records
consisting of various village forms and registers giving detailed information, on land
and its utilisation exists. The current Agricultural statistics, particularly those in
respect of cropwise area of individual fields, are collected and cropwise abstracts
prepared for the village as a whole for each cropping season. These data are then
aggregated at successive levels like Patwari circle to revenue inspector circle, to
tehsil, district, State and all-India levels. In Agriculture Census, the data available in
the village land records, is required to be retabulated for generating information on the
holdings. The procedure adopted for retabulation of data in States where retabulation
approach is adopted, differs from State to State depending on the land records system
followed. By and large, the Patwari consults the Khasra register and notes down the
name of the cultivator against each Khasra number and places together the survey
number/sub-survey numbers cultivated by the same cultivator. Some of the other
existing land records like Khatauni are also used in preparing the list of cultivators.
The names of cultivators not owning but operating the land are added with the help of
Khasra register.
i) In States where comprehensive land records do not exist and where the system
of crop enumeration on a complete field-to-field basis is not in vogue, sample surveys
through household enquiries were conducted to provide information on all the items
covered by the Census.
ii) In the non-land records States, namely, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Kerala,
Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Orissa, Sikkim, Tripura and West Bengal
and the Union Territories of Daman and Diu and Lakshadweep, no village revenue
agency exists for collection of crop statistics on a regular basis. In these States and
Union Territories, a stratified two-stage sampling, design was followed for
Agriculture Census. The development block was generally taken as the stratum. The
first stage unit within the stratum was the village and the second stage unit was the
operational holding in the sample village. From each stratum, at least 20 percent of
2.12.1 The data are presented at All India level and for all States and Union Territories in
the following size classes and size groups of operational holdings.

CHAPTER 3
SAMPLING DESIGN, ESTIMATION PROCEDURE AND
LIMITATIONS OF DATA
3.1.1 In States where comprehensive land records exist, data on number and area of
operational holdings according to different size-classes, social groups, types of holdings and
gender of operational holder, is collected and compiled on complete enumeration basis through
retabulation of information available in the Village Land Records. This implies covering all
survey numbers within each village and preparing a list of ‘Operational Holdings’ therefrom.
An operational holding is the basic unit of enumeration. The holding of the actual cultivator
and not the owner is the unit for collection of data. Some holdings may not be located
completely within the village and these may be spread over to other villages. For preparation
of a list of operational holdings, necessary matching of the part-holdings scattered over more
than one village has to be done. A holding may cut across boundary of a village/Patwari
circle/Revenue Inspector Circle/Tehsil/District/State. A Tehsil is the outer limit for pooling of
all the parcels of an operational holding. If a holding is spread over more than one Tehsil, that
part of the holding which is lying outside the Tehsil of residence of operational holder is treated
as a separate operational holding.
3.1.2 For the purpose of pooling of part holdings, the criterion adopted is the residence of
the operational holder, but this is applicable to only those persons who are residing within the
Tehsil. If operator is residing outside the Tehsil then, for the purpose of the Census, he is
considered as resident operator of the village where his holding is located, and his holding in
the village is treated as a separate operational holding. Necessary pooling of the part holdings
has been done before preparation of Table-1 giving number of holdings and area operated for
all the villages in the stratum.
3.1.3 For collection of detailed data, viz. (i) distribution of holdings according to the
tenancy status; (ii) area under different land uses; (iii) distribution of holdings according to
irrigation status; (iv)area irrigated source-wise and (v) area under principal crops, 20 percent
of the villages selected randomly constituted the base. These 20 percent villages were those
selected for Timely Reporting Scheme (TRS) for the reference year of Agriculture Census. In
these 20 percent villages, information relating to the above characteristics is compiled from the
basic village land records, viz., Khatauni and Khasra in respect of all the resident cultivators.
Resident cultivators of urban areas are also covered.
3.1.4 On the basis of the data obtained from 20 percent of the villages, tables are generated
at the Taluk/District/State levels after adopting suitable estimation procedure as applicable in
the case of Land Record States.
3.1.5 All the data is compiled separately for the operational holdings of the four groups,
viz., Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Others, Institutional and also the Total of all these
groups. However, Table-1 is prepared gender-wise also.
3.2.1 A stratified two stage sampling design is adopted for Agriculture Census in the Non-
Land record States. In view of increasing demand of Agriculture Census data at Block Level,
it has been decided that the Community Development Block or some other similar homogenous
administrative unit should be taken as the stratum. The first stage unit within the stratum is the
village and the second stage unit is the operational holding. In the States where geographical
dispersion of the village is not much, at least 20% of the villages are selected by simple random
sampling method from each stratum. These sample villages include all villages selected under
the scheme for Establishment of an Agency for Reporting Agricultural Statistics (EARAS). In
States where less than 20 percent villages are selected for EARAS, additional villages are
selected using random sampling to bring up the percentage of selected villages in each stratum
to recommended 20 percent. For example, if only 15 percent villages have been selected for
EARAS, additional 5 percent villages in each stratum are selected and added to the list of
EARAS villages, to get the list of villages where Agriculture Census has been conducted.
3.2.2 In case of all holdings other than institutional holdings, the second stage sampling is
to be done in the States for canvassing Holding Schedule (H).
3.2.3 All the institutional holdings in the selected village are included in the sample for
filling Holding Schedule (H).
3.2.4 For adoption of common software for tabulation, it is necessary that all the Non-Land
record States follow the above sampling design. However, variations in the size of the sample
at the two stages may be warranted to suit the pattern of distribution of holdings and/or villages
in the States as also to ensure the presence of adequate number of units of each type in the
sample.
3.3.1 The estimation procedure for population totals and their sampling errors at Taluk as
well as District level in respect of specified characteristics relating to number of operational
holdings and the operated area in respect of States having comprehensive Land Records is
given below:

CHAPTER 4
Agriculture Census Results – All India
All Social Groups
4.1.2 The operated area which was 162.3 million hectares in 1970-71, initially increased to
165.5 million hectares in 1990-91 and thereafter declined to 158.3 million hectares in 2005-06
which rose to 159.59 million hectares in 2010-11, indicating a marginal increase of 0.80
percent. The operated area has primarily increased because of the State of Jharkhand which
came into being in the year 2000, participated for the first time in Agriculture Census operation
in 2010-11.
4.1.3 The average size of holdings had shown a consistent decline over all the census
periods. For instance, in 1970-71 it was 2.28 hectares, which reduced to 2.00 hectares in 1976-
77, 1.84 hectares in 1980-81, 1.69 hectares in 1985-86, 1.55 hectares in 1990-91, which again
declined to 1.41 hectares during 1995-96, 1.33 hectares in 2000-01, 1.23 hectares in 2005-06
and 1.15 hectares in 2010-11.
4.1.4 The data on number and area of operational holdings and average size of holdings by
major size classes for all Social Groups since 1970-71 may be seen in Table 4.1. A graphical
presentation of these characteristics of operational holdings may be seen in Figure 4.1, Figure
4.2 and Figure 4.3 respectively.
4.1.5 The number and area of operational holdings and average size of holdings by size-
classes and gender in Agriculture Censuses 2005-06 and 2010-11 may be seen in Table 4.2.
Table 4.1: Number of holdings, operated area and average size of holdings – All Social Groups
4.1.6 The total number of operational holdings in the country increased from 129.22 million
in 2005-06 excluding Jharkhand to 138.35 million in 2010-11, showing an increase of 7.06
percent. Male operational holdings (excluding Institutional) constituted about 87.2 percent
while female holdings were 12.8 percent in 2010-11 against 88.3 percent and 11.7 percent
respectively in 2005-06. This indicates rising participation of females in management and/or
operation of agricultural holdings.

4.1.7 In terms of corresponding operated area, it was 158.32 million hectares in 2005-06
which increased to 159.59 million hectares in 2010-11, showing a marginal increase of 0.80
percent. The proportion of operated area managed by female operational holders (excluding
Institutional) stood at 10.5 percent in 2010-11 against 9.4 percent in 2005-06.
4.1.8 The average size of operational holding in Agriculture Census 2010-11 was 1.15
hectares against 1.23 hectares in 2005-06. The average size relating to male and female
operational holdings in 2010-11 was 1.18 hectares and 0.93 hectare against 1.25 hectares and
0.98 hectares respectively in 2005-06. The average operated area in ‘all size-classes’ had thus
decreased in general in 2010-11 as compared to 2005-06.
4.1.9 The small and marginal holdings (below 2.00 ha.) constituted 85.01 percent in 2010-
11 against 83.29 percent in 2005-06 and the operated area at 44.58 percent in the current Census
as against the corresponding figure of 41.14 percent in 2005-06. The semi-medium and medium
operational holdings (2.00 ha. – 9.99 ha.) were 14.29 percent with the operated area at 44.82
percent. The corresponding figure for 2005-06 census was 15.87 percent and 47.04 percent.
The large holdings (10.00 ha. & above) were only 0.70 percent of total number of holdings in
2010-11 with a share of 10.59 percent in the operated area as against 0.85 percent and 11.82
percent respectively in 2005-06.
4.2.2 The distribution of number and area of operational holdings by Tenancy status
according to major size groups of holdings for all social groups in 2010-11 may be seen in the
Table 4.3 and Table 4.4 respectively. The above-mentioned last four categories of holdings
have been clubbed and shown under ‘Others’ in these tables for analytical purpose.

4.3.2 Of the total leased-in area in 2010-11, the largest share was leased-in for share of
produce, being 47.13 percent for all size classes followed by 39.28 percent for fixed money
and 11.02 percent for fixed produce. The area leased-in under usufructuary mortgage stood at
0.93 percent against 1.26 percent in 2005-06. The percentage of area leased-in under ‘other
terms’ which is a combination of two or more terms, reduced to 1.63 in 2010-11 as compared
to 3.00 in 2005-06.
4.3.3 A graphical presentation of area under different terms of leasing in 2010-11; leased-

4.4.2 A graphical comparison of area under different forms of land use between Agriculture
Censuses 2010-11 and 2005-06 may be seen in Figure 4.7.
4.4.3 The total operated area has been decreasing gradually after 1990-91 to 2005-06
because of diversion of land for urbanisation; industrialisation or transfer of land to meet the
increasing requirement for non-agricultural uses, like, housing projects, infrastructure
development etc. However, there is a marginal increase in the operated area from 158.32
million ha. in 2005-06 to 159.59 million ha. in 2010-11 showing an increase of 0.80%. The
operated area has primarily increased in 2010-11 because the State of Jharkhand participated
for the first time in Agriculture Census operation in 2010-11 after the State came into being in
the year 2000. Further, it is observed that the percentage of net area sown over last three census
periods has remained more or less about 88.0 per cent of the operated area. The net cultivated
area increased from 89.5 per cent during 1970-71 to 95.7 per cent during 2010-11, whereas
land unutilized and land not available for cultivation declined from 7.7 percent to 3.0 percent
and 2.8 percent to 1.3 percent respectively during the same period.

4.6.1 As earlier, this census also has details about net area irrigated by different sources of
irrigation like canals, tanks, wells, tube wells and other sources. In case some area is irrigated
during the year by more than one source, such area is recorded only against the major source
of irrigation. The net area irrigated by different sources of irrigation is added to arrive at net
irrigated area. The distribution of source-wise irrigated holdings and net irrigated area for all
social groups during Agriculture Census 2005-06 and 2010-11 is given in Table 4.8. The

graphical presentation of proportions of net irrigated area by source of irrigation may be seen
in Figure 4.10. During 2010-11, maximum proportion of holdings received irrigation from tube

wells (42.60 percent) followed by canals (24.73 percent), wells (18.94 percent) and tanks (5.61
percent). The remaining sources accounted for 8.12 percent which was more than tanks.
Similarly, maximum proportion of area was irrigated by tube wells (45.17 percent) followed
by canals (26.19 percent), wells (18.46 percent) and tanks (3.48 percent). The remaining 6.71
percent of area was accounted for by other sources. Thus this pattern of distribution of net
irrigated among different sources in 2010-11 was similar to that of reported in the last
Agriculture Census 2005-06.

This includes holdings irrigated by more than one source. However, the respective exclusive number of
irrigated holdings was only 55.9 million and 71.7 million during 2005-06 and 2010-11. (4) The figures in
brackets are percentages.
4.7.1 A cultivator residing in a village and cultivating some land within the same
tehsil/block is called a resident cultivator of that village. A resident cultivator may, therefore,
have either (i) entire area of his holdings locating in village of his residence; or (ii) partly within
the village of residence and partly outside; or (iii) entirely outside the village of residence. The
information on such characteristics, i.e. dispersal of number and area of operational holdings
for all social groups during 2005-06 and 2010-11 may be seen in the Table 4.9. About 96.95
percent of operational holdings were located within the village of residence against operated
area of 96.08 percent during Agriculture Census 2010-11. About 1.53 percent of holdings with
operated area of 2.32 percent were located partly within the village and partly outside the
village of residence within the same tehsil. About 1.40 percent of holdings and almost equal
proportion of operated area were located entirely outside the village of residence but within
Tehsil. Only, 0.13 percent of holdings and 0.18 percent of operated area were accounted for by
deemed cultivators i.e. those operational holders who were residing outside Tehsil but
operating land in one or more village(s) of the Tehsil.

4.8.2 During 2010-11, gross cropped area was estimated at 193.76 million hectares while
net sown area was at 141.28 million hectares. Thus the cropping intensity during 2010-11 stood
at 1.3715 against 1.3172 in 2005-06. The irrigation intensity which is the ratio of gross irrigated
area to net irrigated area worked out to 1.3593 in 2010-11 against 1.3521 in 2005-06.
4.8.3 As per table 4.10, cereals formed 57.0 percent of gross cropped area in 2010-11 while
‘all food crops’ consisting of cereals, pulses, sugarcane, spices, fruits & vegetables, accounted
for 76.33 percent. The remaining gross cropped area was accounted for by non-food crops, like,
oilseeds, fibres, fodder crops and other non-food crops. Among non-food crops, oilseeds had
the highest contribution of 12.8 percent followed by fibres (6.2 percent).

CHAPTER 5
AGRICULTURE CENSUS RESULTS- ALL INDIA
SCHEDULED CASTES AND SCHEDULED TRIBES
5.1.2 The holdings operated by Scheduled Castes accounted for 12.36 percent of the total
number of holdings in the country in 2010-11 as against 12.44 percent in 2005-06. The
proportion of operated area to the total operated area in the country for this social group
remained almost static over 8.0 percent during 2005-06 and 2010-11. Scheduled Tribes
holdings formed 8.68 percent of total holdings in 2010-11 against 8.00 percent in 2005-06. The
operated area held by Scheduled Tribes has also increased from 10.69 percent in 2005-06 to
11.42 percent in 2010-11. In the case of ‘Other’ Social Group, the proportions of number of
holdings in 2010-11 and 2005-06 stood at 78.79 percent and 79.36 percent respectively. The
share of operated area of ‘Other’ Social Group was 79.02 percent in 2010-11 against 79.84
percent in 2005-06.
5.1.3 The number and area of operational holdings and average size per holding by
size-classes and gender, and their percentage distribution in Agriculture Censuses 2010-11 and
2005-06 for holdings of Scheduled Castes may be seen in Table 5.2 and Table 5.3 respectively
with graphical presentation in Figure 5.3, Figure 5.4 and Figure 5.5 respectively.

5.1.4 In a total of 17.10 million holdings belonging to Scheduled Caste in 2010-11, male
operational holdings accounted for 87.73 percent while females 12.27 percent against 89.14
percent and 10.86 percent respectively in 2005-06. Thus the shares of holdings operated by
females were quite low as compared to that of male operational holdings. It is noteworthy,
however, that representation of holdings belonging to females has increased from 10.86 percent
in 2005-06 to 12.27 percent in 2010-11.
5.1.5 Area operated by female holders accounted for 10.42 percent in 2010-11 against 9.08
percent in 2005-06.
5.1.6 The average operated area by Scheduled Caste holders in Agriculture Census 2010-
11 was 0.80 hectare against 0.83 hectare in 2005-06. The average operated area for male and
female operational holdings in 2010-11 was 0.82 hectare and 0.68 hectare respectively as
compared to 0.84 hectare and 0.69 hectare in 2005-06.
5.1.7 Out of a total of 17.10 million of operational holdings of Scheduled Castes in 2010-
11, marginal holdings constituted (77.5 percent), small (14.4 percent), semi-medium (5.9
percent), medium (1.9 percent) and large (0.3 percent). It can be seen that percentage of
operational holdings decreased with the increase in size of holdings (Table 5.3) and bulk of
operational holdings belonged to marginal and small categories i.e. 91.9 percent together.
5.1.8 Out of a total of 13.72 million hectares of area operated by Scheduled Castes, over
1/3rd i.e. 35.5 percent belonged to the marginal category, as against their representation of 77.5
percent in number of holdings in that category (marginal). The percentages of operated area
belonging to small, semi-medium, medium and large holdings were 25.2, 19.5, 13.7 and 6.1
respectively.
5.1.9 The number and area of operational holdings and average size per holding by size-

5.1.10 As per Table 5.4, out of 12.01 million Scheduled Tribes operational holdings in 2010-
11, males accounted for 88.7 percent and females constituted 11.3 percent. Thus, the percentage
of female operational holdings was very low as compared to male operational holdings for
Scheduled Tribes. However, the representation of holdings belonging to females increased
from 9.6 percent in 2005-06 to 11.3 percent in 2010-11.
5.1.11 The area operated by Scheduled Tribes which was 16.93 million hectares in 2005-06
rose to 18.22 million hectares in 2010-11, showing an increase of 7.63 percent because of
participation of Jharkhand State in Agriculture Census operation in 2010-11 for the first time
since its creation in the year 2000. The area operated by females accounted for 10.0 percent in
2010-11 while the same was 90.0 percent for male holders against the corresponding figures
of 8.5 percent and 91.5 percent in 2005-06.
5.1.12 The average operated area in 2010-11 was 1.52 hectares against 1.64 hectares in 2005-
06 while for male and female operational holdings, it was 1.54 hectares and 1.34 hectares as
compared to 1.66 hectares and 1.45 hectares respectively in 2005-06, indicating a decline in
average operated area of both male and female operational holdings in 2010-11 as compared
to 2005-06.
5.1.13 It may be seem from Table 5.5 that out of a total of 12.01 million Scheduled Tribes
operational holdings in 2010-11, marginal holdings accounted for (53.9 percent) followed by
small (24.0 percent), semi-medium (14.9 percent), medium (6.3 percent) and large (0.9
percent). The number of operational holdings, thus, decreased with the increase in the size of
holdings.
5.1.14 Out of a total of 18.22 million hectares of operated area in 2010-11, about 40.0 percent
was held by marginal and small holdings, against their representation of 78.0 percent in total
number of operational holdings of Scheduled Tribes.

5.2.3 In case of Scheduled Castes, wholly owned and self-operated holdings accounted for
about 95.6 percent in term of number with almost same percentage of area (95.2 percent). The
wholly leased-in operational holdings had a proportion of 1.1 percent covering 1.0 percent of
area. The wholly otherwise operational holdings were 0.18 percent having an operated area of
0.14 percent. The remaining four types of operational holdings, categorized under ‘Others’,
were to the extent of 3.1 percent of the total Scheduled Castes holdings operating an area of
about 3.7 percent.
5.2.4 Among holdings of Scheduled Tribes, 95.3 percent of number of operational holdings
were wholly owned and self-operated accounting for an area of 96.3 percent. The wholly
leased-in holdings accounted for 0.6 percent operating an area of 0.3 percent. The wholly
otherwise operational holdings accounted for 0.67 percent with corresponding area of 0.33
percent while ‘Others’ accounted for 3.5 percent with an area of 3.1 percent. This indicates that
over 95 percent of the holdings in 2010-11 were owned and self-operated in the case of both
Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.

5.3.2 The distribution of leased-in area according to different terms of leasing in 2010-11
showed that the highest proportion was accounted for by ‘share of produce’ both in case of
holdings of Scheduled Castes (61.9 percent) and Scheduled Tribes (57.6 percent). This was
followed by fixed money (24.5 percent), fixed produce (11.9 percent), ‘other terms’ (1.0
percent) and usufructuary mortgage (0.8 percent) in the case of Scheduled Castes holdings. For
holdings of Scheduled Tribes, share of produce was followed by fixed money (21.7 percent),
fixed produce (16.2 percent), usufructuary mortgage (2.31 percent) and ‘other terms’ (2.8
percent).

5.4.2 The proportion of net cultivated area to total operated area in case of Scheduled Castes
holdings had increased from 95.9 percent during 2005-06 to 96.7 percent during 2010-11. The
proportion of land not available for cultivation increased from 0.9 percent in 2005-06 to 1.0

5.4.3 The net cultivated area for Scheduled Tribes holdings, as a percentage of total
operated area marginally increased from 90.3 percent during 2005-06 to 90.6 percent during
2010-11. The land not available for cultivation formed 2.4 percent of the total operated area
whereas the land unutilized was 7.0 percent during Agriculture Census 2010-11.
(C) IRRIGATION
5.5 Irrigation Status
5.5.1 The distribution of net irrigated area and net sown area for holdings of Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes by major size classes in 2005-06 and 2010-11 may be seen in
Table 5.13 and Table 5.14 respectively. The graphical presentations of percentage of net
irrigated area to net sown area in 2005-06 and 2010-11 for major size-groups are given in
respective Figure 5.11 and Figure 5.12 separately for these social groups.
Table 5.13: Distribution of Net Irrigated Area and Net Area Sown by Major Size Classes of
Holdings for Scheduled Castes during Agriculture Census 2005-06* and 2010-11
Table 5.14: Distribution of Net Irrigated Area and Net Area Sown by Major Size Classes of
Holdings for Scheduled Tribes during Agriculture Census 2005-06* and 2010-11
5.5.2 In all size classes of holdings, the percentage of net irrigated area to net sown area
was much higher in the case of Scheduled Castes (45.4 percent) as compared to Scheduled
Tribes (23.5 percent) in 2010-11. The similar pattern prevailed during Agriculture Census
2005-06 also. As such very large proportion of Scheduled Tribes holdings were un-irrigated.
There was, thus, marginal improved irrigation for holdings of Scheduled Castes whereas there
was an increase of more than 3.0 percent in case of holdings of Scheduled Tribes between
2005-6 and 2010-11.
5.6.1 The distribution of holdings received irrigation and area irrigated by different sources
of irrigation for holdings of Scheduled Castes in 2005-06 and 2010-11 may be seen in Table
5.15. The graphical presentation in respect of net area irrigated by sources during 2010-11 is

5.6.2 Out of a total of 9.51 million Scheduled Castes holdings received irrigation in 2010-
11, the largest proportion, 46.4 percent, were irrigated by tubewells. The next important source
of irrigation was canals accounting for 26.3 percent followed by wells (13.7 percent). In terms
of net irrigated area also, tubewells accounted for the largest proportion of 46.4 percent, while
canals represented the next highest proportion, viz. 26.5 percent. Tubewells were also the main
source of irrigation during 2005-06 followed by canals. Wells were the next source of irrigation
with 16.5 percent of the net irrigated area while tanks had a share of about 4.1 percent during
2010-11.
5.6.3 The distribution of holdings received irrigation and area irrigated by different sources

5.6.4 Out of a total of 3.94 million Scheduled Tribes holdings received irrigation in 2010-
11, the most important source of irrigation was tube wells accounting for 23.6 percent followed
by the ‘Other sources’ (23.1 percent). The next, the largest proportion, was wells accounting
for 23.0 percent followed by Canals (22.3 percent).Tanks occupied the next place with 8.0
percent irrigated holdings. In terms of net irrigated area, tubewells had the highest share of 26.8
percent followed by Canals (23.8 percent) and wells (23.3 percent). The ‘other sources’
accounted for 20.8 percent followed by tanks (5.4 percent).
5.7.1 The dispersal of area of operational holdings belonging to Scheduled Castes during
2005-06 and 2010-11 may be seen in Table 5.17, which shows that 95.6 percent of operated
area belonging to about 97.0 percent of operational holdings was located within the village of
residence as per Agriculture Census 2010-11. About 1.6 percent of number of holdings with
operated area of 2.5 percent were located partly within the village and partly outside the village
of residence. Further, 1.4 percent of number of holdings with operated area of 1.7 percent were
lying outside the village of residence but within the Tehsil. Similarly, 0.2 percent of operated
area was held by 0.1 percent deemed cultivators i.e. those operational holders who were
residing outside the Tehsil but operating land in some village(s) of the Tehsil.

6.4.2 Data was collected for four specific terms of leasing, namely, (i) fixed money (ii)
fixed produce, (iii) share of produce and (iv) usufructuary mortgage. Leasing for share of
produce was the major term of leasing in the country. In the State of Nagaland proportion of
leasing of area to total leased-in area was done only for share of produce. Further, it was the
highest among different types of leasing in the States of Chhattisgarh (94.0 percent), West
Bengal (87.7 percent), Tripura (76.3 percent), Odisha (65.3 percent), Madhya Pradesh (61.4
percent), Assam (51.2 percent) and Goa (37.7 percent). In States where proportion of leasing
of area to total leased-in area was done mainly for fixed-money were Haryana (100 percent),
Punjab (97.1 percent), Maharashtra (93.3 percent), Uttar Pradesh (92.4 percent), Rajasthan
(70.2 percent), Kerala (64.5 percent), Andhra Pradesh (62.0 percent), Bihar (52.4 percent),
Tamil Nadu (49.4 percent), Jharkhand (49.0 percent), Uttarakhand (43.1 percent) and Andaman
& Nicobar Islands (38.9 percent). However, the presentation of Jammu & Kashmir under ‘fixed
money’ was second (36.7 percent) to fixed produce (56.6 percent) in the State. The term fixed
produce was dominant in the States of Meghalaya (76.5 percent), Sikkim (72.3 percent),
Manipur (70.6 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (56.6 percent), Puducherry (51.1 percent), Andhra
Pradesh (34.7 percent), Assam (27.4 percent), Goa (26.9 percent), Tamil Nadu (25.5 percent),
Jharkhand (24.5 percent), Odisha (19.9 percent), Uttarakhand (19.3 percent) and Tripura (17.3
percent). The proportion of leased-in area under ‘other terms’ was the highest among different
terms of leasing in Himachal Pradesh (57.8 percent). The similar proportions in other States
were Andaman & Nicobar Islands (28.9 percent), Uttarakhand (26.8 percent), Kerala (20.3
percent) and Tamil Nadu (10.9 percent).

7.1.2 The number of operational holdings of Scheduled Castes in the country was 17.10
million during 2010-11 as against 16.07 million in 2005-06, showing an increase of 6.4 percent.
The largest share of holdings of Scheduled Castes was in Uttar Pradesh (23.5 percent) followed
by Bihar (11.5 percent), West Bengal (10.4 percent), Andhra Pradesh (8.5 percent), Madhya
Pradesh (6.4 percent), Maharashtra (6.0 percent), Rajasthan (5.6 percent), Karnataka (5.4 percent),
Tamil Nadu (5.1 percent) and Odisha (4.1 percent). Out of a total of 15.00 million male operational
holdings belonging to Scheduled Castes, Uttar Pradesh accounted for about 24.9 percent followed
by West Bengal (11.4 percent), Bihar (10.9 percent), Andhra Pradesh (7.2 percent), Madhya
Pradesh (6.6 percent), Rajasthan (5.9 percent), Maharashtra (5.7 percent), Karnataka (5.0 percent),
Tamil Nadu (4.7 percent) and Odisha (4.5 percent). These ten States together constituted about
86.8 percent of the total male operational holdings belonging to Scheduled Castes in the country.
Similarly, Andhra Pradesh had highest proportion of female operational holdings (18.3 percent)
in the country followed by Bihar (15.6 percent), Uttar Pradesh (13.5 percent), Maharashtra (8.2
percent), Karnataka (8.1 percent), Tamil Nadu (8.0 percent), Kerala (6.5 percent) and Madhya
Pradesh (5.0 percent). These eight States together constituted about 83.0 percent of total female
operational holdings belonging to Scheduled Castes in 2010-11 in the country.
7.1.3 As per Table 7.2, Rajasthan accounted for 18.0 percent of total operated area of
Scheduled Castes holdings in 2010-11 in the country followed by Uttar Pradesh (14.4 percent),
Madhya Pradesh (9.8 percent), Maharashtra (9.5 percent), West Bengal (8.2 percent), Andhra
Pradesh (8.0 percent) and Karnataka (7.8 percent). In a total of 1.43 million hectares of operated
area of female Scheduled Castes operational holdings in 2010-11 in the country, Andhra Pradesh
had the highest share of 18.3 percent followed by Maharashtra (14.1 percent), Karnataka (12.6
percent), Rajasthan (11.7 percent), Uttar Pradesh (8.5 percent), Madhya Pradesh (7.8 percent),
Bihar (7.1 percent) and Tamil Nadu (6.3 percent). Thus, these eight States together accounted for
about 86.4 percent of operated area of female holdings in the country. However, Rajasthan had
the maximum share of area operated by males (18.7 percent) followed by Uttar Pradesh (15.0
percent), Madhya Pradesh (10.0 percent), Maharashtra (9.0 percent), West Bengal (8.9 percent),
Karnataka (7.3 percent) and Andhra Pradesh (6.8 percent). These seven States taken together
accounted for more than 3/4th of the area operated by males belonging to Scheduled Castes in the
country in 2010-11.
7.1.4 The total operated area held by Scheduled Castes increased at all India level by 3.2
percent in 2010-11 over 2005-06 as of 1.6 percent for males and 18.4 percent for holdings held by
females for the same period.
7.1.5 The total number of Scheduled Tribe holdings in the country (Table 7.3) in 2010-11 was
12.00 million as against 10.34 million in 2005-06, indicating an increase of about 16.1 percent.
The Scheduled Tribes holdings were largely concentrated in States of Madhya Pradesh (14.9
percent) and Odisha (11.9 percent) accounting for more than one-fourth of total number of
Scheduled Tribes holdings (26.8 percent) in the country. The other States having sizeable
proportion of Scheduled Tribes holdings were Chhattisgarh (9.8 percent), Rajasthan (9.3 percent),
Andhra Pradesh (8.8 percent), Jharkhand (8.1 percent), Maharashtra (7.2 percent) and West
Bengal (4.9 percent). These eight States together accounted for about 75 percent of total Scheduled
Tribes holdings in the country in 2010-11. Out of a total of 1.4 million female operational holdings
belonging to Scheduled Tribes, Andhra Pradesh had the highest proportion of 18.0 percent
followed by Madhya Pradesh (13.0 percent), Chhattisgarh (10.8 percent), Maharashtra (10.3
percent), Karnataka (6.3 percent), Jharkhand (6.2 percent), Gujarat (5.7 percent), Meghalaya (5.3
percent) and Odisha & Rajasthan (5.0 percent each), accounting for about 86.0 percent of female
Scheduled Tribes operational holdings in the country. The male operational holdings in Madhya
Pradesh and Chhattisgarh taken together accounted for about one-fourth of the total male
operational holdings (24.8 percent). The other States, having substantial proportions of holdings,
were Odisha (12.8 percent), Rajasthan (9.9 percent), Jharkhand (8.3 percent), Andhra Pradesh (7.7
percent), Maharashtra (6.8 percent) and West Bengal (5.2 percent). The above mentioned eight
States, thus, accounted for more than 75.0 percent of total male operational holdings of Scheduled
Tribes in the country in 2010-11.
7.1.6 While male holdings increased by 13.9 percent, female holdings rose by 36.1 percent
resulting in an overall increase of 16.1 percent in Scheduled Tribes holdings in 2010-11 over 2005-
06 in the country.
7.1.7 In terms of area operated (Table 7.4), Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh taken together
accounted for about 30.0 percent of total area operated by Scheduled Tribes in the country in
2010-11. The other States in descending order were Rajasthan (9.8 percent), Odisha (8.9 percent),
Maharashtra (8.6 percent), Jharkhand (7.9 percent), Andhra Pradesh (6.9 percent), Nagaland (5.9
percent) and Gujarat (5.3 percent). The above mentioned nine States, thus, accounted for about
83.0 percent of total area operated by Scheduled Tribes in the country. Further, out of 16.39
million hectares of operated area of male operational holdings, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh
had together about 30.0 percent of operated area followed by Rajasthan (10.4 percent), Odisha
(9.4 percent), Jharkhand (8.2 percent), Maharashtra (8.1 percent), Andhra Pradesh (6.1 percent),
Nagaland (6.0 percent) and Gujarat (5.0 percent). The substantial part of area operated by male
Scheduled Tribes, i.e. 83.0 percent, concentrated only in these nine States. The area operated by
Scheduled Tribes females in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh constituted together 27.8 percent
of operated area of this category of holdings in the country. The other dominating States were
Andhra Pradesh (13.9 percent), Maharashtra (12.4 percent), Gujarat (8.1 percent), Karnataka (6.4
percent), Meghalaya (5.3 percent), Nagaland (5.1 percent), Jharkhand (5.0 percent) and Rajasthan
(4.5 percent). The above mentioned ten States, thus, taken together accounted for about 89.0
percent of operated area of female operational holdings belonging to Scheduled Tribes in the
country in 2010-11.
7.1.8 The area operated by Scheduled Tribes females and males increased by 26.5 percent and
5.9 percent respectively with an overall increase of 7.6 percent in 2010-11 as compared to the

7.2.2 Among Scheduled Caste holdings, wholly-owned and self-operated holdings constituted
95.6 percent in terms of number and 95.2 percent in respect of operated area at all India level. In
Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, D & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Delhi, all the holdings were
wholly-owned and self-operated. In the States of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand,
Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu almost all holdings (above 99.0 percent) were
recorded under wholly-owned and self-operated category with regard to both number and area of
operational holdings. The wholly leased-in holdings were only 1.1 percent accounting for 1.0
percent of operated area at all India level. The States which had proportions of wholly leased-in
holdings in terms of number and area of operational holdings above all India average of (1.1, 1.0)
percent were Goa (5.0, 3.5) percent, Manipur (11.4, 10.9) percent, Odisha (11.6, 10.7) percent,
Uttar Pradesh (1.4, 1.8), West Bengal (2.5, 2.2) and Puducherry (2.8, 5.0) percent. The proportion
of number of wholly otherwise operated holdings was higher than the national average of 0.18
percent in the States of Goa (0.8 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (3.2 percent), Kerala (0.4 percent),
Odisha (1.1 percent), Rajasthan (0.5 percent), Tripura (2.3 percent) and West Bengal (0.4 percent).
In these States, the corresponding proportion of ‘wholly otherwise’ operated area was also higher
than the all India average of 0.14 percent. In the category of ‘Others’ which has been defined
under Chapter-IV, the proportion of number of holdings to the total number of holdings in
respective States was above all India average of 3.12 percent in Manipur (3.4 percent), Odisha
(13.5 percent) and West Bengal (23.1 percent) only whereas the proportion of operated area to the
total operated area was higher than the all India average of 3.67 percent in Kerala (5.1 percent),

7.3.2 Distribution of area leased-in according to different terms of leasing for holdings of
Scheduled Castes showed that share of produce was the most dominant term of leasing as about
62.0 percent of leased-in area fell under this category at all India level. The States having higher
proportion than all India average of 61.86 percent were only Chhattisgarh (100.0 percent) where
entire leased-in area fell under this category followed by Tripura (86.5 percent), West Bengal
(86.1 percent), Madhya Pradesh (76.8 percent) and Odisha (68.4 percent). The State of Assam had
also as high as 58.3 percent of leased-in area under share of produce. The other States which had
substantial part of leased-in area under this category were Bihar (28.9 percent), Goa (21.0 percent),
Himachal Pradesh (17.9 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (17.4 percent), Jharkhand (28.6 percent),
Kerala (15.0 percent), Rajasthan (21.6 percent) and Puducherry (28.2 percent). The fixed money
was the second important term of leasing having a share of 24.5 percent at all India level with
Uttar Pradesh (91.3 percent) having the highest proportion of leased-in area under this category
followed by Punjab (90.3 percent), Uttarakhand (76.1 percent), Andhra Pradesh (74.1 percent),
Rajasthan (67.1 percent), Kerala (63.5 percent), Bihar (38.6 percent), Tamil Nadu (36.4 percent),
Jharkhand (32.1 percent) and Goa (31.2 percent). In terms of fixed produce, the proportion of
leased-in area above national average of 11.85 percent was found in the States of Andhra Pradesh
(24.1 percent), Assam (20.7 percent), Bihar (29.2 percent), Goa (47.8 percent), Jammu & Kashmir
(63.8 percent), Jharkhand (39.3 percent), Madhya Pradesh (17.4 percent), Manipur (94.1 percent),
Odisha (19.8 percent), Sikkim (97.2 percent), Tamil Nadu (46.9 percent), Uttarakhand (13.2
percent) and Puducherry (51.1 percent). The operated area under usufructuary mortgage and ‘other
terms’ was less than 1.0 percent each but was as high as 21.1 percent in Assam followed by Tamil
Nadu (7.8 percent), Manipur (5.9 percent) etc. in the case of former category at all India level.
7.3.3 Like holdings of all Social Groups and Scheduled Castes, ‘share of produce’ was the
most dominant term of leasing of area operated for Scheduled Tribes as well which is evident
from the fact that 57.60 percent of the leased-in area belonged to this category at all India level.
In Chhattisgarh and Nagaland, entire leased-in area (100.0 percent) fell under this category
followed by West Bengal (82.3 percent), Madhya Pradesh (74.6 percent), Assam and Tripura (70.8
percent each), Odisha (49.2 percent), Goa (44.9 percent) etc. The next important term of leasing
of area was under ‘fixed money’ having a share of 21.7 percent at all India level. The highest
proportion of leased-in area under the category was reported in Andhra Pradesh (86.6 percent)
followed by Jharkhand (83.2 percent), Uttar Pradesh (68.3 percent), Rajasthan (55.4 percent),
Jammu & Kashmir (53.4 percent), Goa (41.6 percent), Bihar (37.4 percent), Odisha (23.5 percent),
Sikkim (23.0 percent), Kerala (15.3 percent) and West Bengal (10.1 percent). The proportion of
leased-in area under ‘fixed produce’ was 16.2 percent at all India level and was the highest in
Manipur (100.0 percent) followed by Meghalaya (76.5 percent), Bihar (62.6 percent), Sikkim
(57.8 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (46.3 percent), Uttar Pradesh (31.7 percent), Tripura (25.4
percent), Odisha (24.3 percent), Madhya Pradesh (18.8 percent), Assam (16.0 percent), Goa (13.4
percent) etc. The proportions of leased-in area under ‘usufructuary mortgaged’ and ‘others’ were
2.3 percent each at all India level.

7.4.2 The net cultivated area formed 96. 7 percent of total operated area of Scheduled Castes
and 90.6 percent of Scheduled Tribes at all-India level in 2010-11. Similarly, land uncultivated
area constituted 2.4 percent and 7.0 percent of operated area for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled
Tribes respectively. Land not available for cultivation, formed small fraction of 1.0 percent and
2.4 percent respectively for these two social groups.
7.4.3 For Scheduled Castes holdings, Delhi and Haryana were the only States where the entire
operated area was under cultivation during 2010-11. The percentage of net cultivated area to the
total operated area was also higher than the national average of 96.7 percent in the States of Andhra
Pradesh, Assam, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur,
Odisha, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Puducherry,
while Himachal Pradesh had the lowest proportion of 68.3 percent under cultivation among all the
States/UTs. Himachal Pradesh had also the highest figure of 22.5 percent of operated area under
land unutilized. The land not available for cultivation was the highest in Kerala (19.4 percent)
among all the States followed by Tripura and Himachal Pradesh (9.2 percent each), Sikkim (7.8
percent), Daman & Diu (4.4 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (3.3 percent), West Bengal (2.5 percent),
Jharkhand (2.3 percent) and Uttarakhand (2.1 percent).
7.4.4 In case of Scheduled Tribes, entire operated area was under cultivation in Mizoram
during 2010-11, while in Nagaland, it was at the lowest (42.9 percent). Proportion of land
unutilized was at the highest in Nagaland (39.9 percent) followed by Arunachal Pradesh (31.2
percent), Jammu & Kashmir (17.1 percent), Himachal Pradesh (16.7 percent), Sikkim (12.5
percent) and Jharkhand (12.1 percent) which are hilly States. Land not available for cultivation
accounted for 2.4 percent in 2010-11 at all India level which was almost equal to the figure of
2005-06 (2.1 percent). However, in States like Nagaland it was as much as 17.2 percent followed
by Lakshadweep (11.5 percent), Sikkim (9.9 percent), Arunachal Pradesh (9.7 percent), Tripura
(8.4 percent), Himachal Pradesh (6.4 percent), Kerala (5.7 percent) and Jammu & Kashmir (5.3

Castes holdings in 2010-11 may be seen in Table 7.15.
Table 7.15: Area irrigated, in percentage, of Scheduled Castes in each State by source of irrigation, 2005-06#
and 2010-11
7.6.2 Irrigation by tubewells was the most important source for Scheduled Castes holdings
like All Social Groups, accounting for as much as 46.4 percent at all India level in 2010-11. Canals
formed the next important source of irrigation having a proportion of 26.5 percent followed by
wells (16.5 percent) and tanks (4.1 percent). Remaining 6.6 percent area was accounted for by
‘other’ sources.
7.6.3 The States which in proportion of area irrigated by tubewell were higher than all India
average of 46.4 percent were Bihar (60.8 percent), Punjab (88.4 percent), Uttarakhand (62.7
percent), Uttar Pradesh (68.9 percent), West Bengal (64.5 percent), Dadra & Nagar Haveli (97.4
percent) and Delhi (100.0 percent). In respect of irrigation by canal, Chhattisgarh had the highest
proportion of (79.0 percent), followed by Odisha (75.3 percent), Puducherry (73.5 percent),
Haryana (52.4 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (46.3 percent), Maharashtra (35.0 percent), Tamil
Nadu (34.5 percent), Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka (30.4 percent each), Bihar (29.4 percent),

percent), Kerala (34.1 percent), Gujarat (33.3 percent), Tamil Nadu (30.7 percent), Rajasthan
(28.2 percent), Andhra Pradesh (18.5 percent) and Goa (17.2 percent). However, Karnataka had
also sizable proportion of area irrigated by wells (10.9 percent).
7.6.4 The distribution, in percentage, of irrigated area by source in each State for Scheduled
Tribes holdings in 2010-11 is given in Table 7.16.
Table 7.16: Area irrigated, in percentage, for Scheduled Tribes in each State by source of irrigation, 2005-
06# and 2010-11
7.6.5 Like All Social Groups and Scheduled Castes, Tubewells were the most important source
of irrigation, accounting for as much as 26.8 percent of irrigated area in the country in 2010-11 in
case of holdings of Scheduled Tribes followed by Canal (23.8 percent) and wells (23.3 percent).
‘Other’ sources accounted for 20.8 percent of irrigated area. Irrigation by tanks was at the lowest
of 5.4 percent in the country in 2010-11.
7.6.6 The maximum proportion of area irrigated by canals in 2010-11 was in the State of

7.7.2 At All India level, 96.94 percent of holders had their entire operated area within the
village of residence. All the holdings in the States of Assam, Sikkim, Dadra & Nagar Haveli,
Daman & Diu and Delhi were located entirely within the village of residence of the holders. Also,
in States like Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand,
Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Uttar
Pradesh, the concentration of operational holdings within village of residence was above the all
India average of 96.94 percent and in remaining States. The States of Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat,
Jammu & Kashmir, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Punjab,
Tamil Nadu, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh had higher proportions of area lying within resident village
only ranging between 95.60 percent to 99.99 percent. Only a small proportion of 3.1 percent of
number of holdings and 4.4 percent of operated area were scattered either partly in the village of
residence and partly in other villages within the same Tehsil or entirely outside the village of
residence but within the same Tehsil or holdings of deemed cultivators. As against all India
average of 1.6 percent in number of holdings and 2.5 percent in operated area i.e. (1.6 percent, 2.5
percent), under category of holdings lying partly in the village of residence and partly in other
villages within the same Tehsil/Block, West Bengal had highest proportion (8.1 percent, 12.6
percent) followed by Odisha (7.6 percent, 11.0 percent), Himachal Pradesh (4.8 percent, 6.2
percent), Manipur (3.8 percent, 3.2 percent), Uttarakhand (2.5 percent, 4.9 percent) and Rajasthan
(1.8 percent, 3.5 percent). Against all India average of 1.4 percent in number of holdings and 1.7
percent in operated area, in the category of operated area lying entirely outside the village of
residence but within the same Tehsil, States like Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Karnataka, Odisha,
Rajasthan and Puducherry had higher proportions than all India average.

7.7.4 In the case of Scheduled Tribes operational holdings, only small proportion of about 1.4
percent of number and 1.7 per cent of operated area was scattered partly in the village of residence
and partly in other villages located within the same Tehsil. About 1.0 percent of number of
holdings and 0.8 percent of corresponding operated area was lying either entirely outside the
village of residence but within the same Tehsil or of holdings belonging to deemed cultivators.
The entire operated area of Scheduled Tribes operational holders in the States of Arunachal
Pradesh, Gujarat, Meghalaya, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu and Lakshadweep was
located within the village of residence. In other States, viz. Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jammu
and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tamil
Nadu, Tripura and Uttar Pradesh, almost entire operated area (99.0 percent and above) was located
within the village of residence. Among States, Himachal Pradesh had the highest proportion of
15.7 percent holdings and 27.8 percent area (15.7 percent, 27.8 percent) under the category of
holdings lying partly in the village of residence and partly in other villages located within the same
Tehsil followed by West Bengal (9.9 percent, 14.4 percent), Uttarakhand (8.8 percent, 16.9
percent), Odisha (4.3 percent, 6.1 percent), Kerala (2.6 percent, 6.7 percent), Goa (3.0 percent, 4.4
percent) and Rajasthan (1.5 percent, 3.6 percent) each. For all India average of 1.0 percent in
number of holdings and 0.7 percent of operated area i.e. (1.0 percent, 0.7 percent) in the category
of holdings lying entirely outside the village of residence but within the same Tehsil, Andhra
Pradesh (4.3 percent, 3.5 percent), Rajasthan (2.1 percent, 2.0 percent), Karnataka (2.0 percent,
1.8 percent), West Bengal (1.8 percent, 1.6 percent), Odisha (1.5 percent, 1.2 percent) and Goa
(1.4 percent, 1.2 percent) had higher proportions in number of holdings and corresponding
operated area.
