Abstract

Tenancy has been on the rise in the post economic liberalization period from the decades of 1990s. It was also viewed that freeing the lease market for land may contribute to equity as well as efficiency by bringing into open the lease transactions. A strong case or legalization of land leasing has been made in order to improve the rural poor's access to land through leasing and also for their upward occupational mobility. It is argued that removal of restrictions on land leasing will result in better utilization of land and labour as fears of losing land by leasing out stand to be addressed. If land security for the owner and tenurial security for the tenant is provided for there would be enhanced interest in cultivation. Accompanied with a ceiling on operational holding size legalization of land lease would result in better utilization of land by reducing fallow land and also check concentration of land.
