1 Technical Notes 1. Definitions Operational Holding: 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. Technical Unit: An unit of land which is under the same management and has the same means of production such as labour force, machinery and animals. Operated area: 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 will be equal to the total geographical area of all the four survey numbers. Operational holder: A 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. i) Individual: If the holding is being operated either by one person or by a group of persons who are the members of the

2 ii) same household, such holding will be considered as an individual holding. Joint: If two or more persons belonging to different households, share jointly as partners in the economic and technical responsibility for the operation of an agricultural holding, such holding will be considered as joint holding. iii) Institutional: Holdings such as government farms, farms of sugarcane factories, cooperative farms, lands managed by trusts would be treated as institutional holdings. 2. Size classes and Size groups of Holdings: 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 S. Group S. Classes (in ha.) I. Marginal 1. 2. Below 0.5 ha. 0.5 < 1.0 ha. II. Small 3. 1.0 < 2.0 ha. III. Semi-medium 4. 5. 2.0 < 3.0 ha. 3.0 < 4.0 ha. IV.

4 All India Report on Number and Area of operational holdings 2015-16 Introduction The Agriculture Census in India is conducted at five yearly intervals to collect data on structural aspects of operational holdings in the country. The Agriculture Census programme is carried out in three phases at five yearly intervals with cooperation of States/UTs. The Government of India provides a financial and administrative support as well as all technical guidance to States/UTs required for Census operations. In each State/UT a nucleus staff of the State Government, designated as State Agriculture Census Unit is responsible for coordinating the activities of Agriculture Census Programme at the State/UT level. The reference period for Agriculture Census is the Agricultural year (July-June). The first comprehensive Agriculture Census in the country was conducted with reference year 1970-71. So far, nine Agriculture Censuses have been conducted in the country. The current Agriculture Census with reference year 2015-16 is tenth in the series. Being the ultimate unit for taking agriculture-related decisions, operational holding has been taken as statistical unit at micro-level for data collection. During Phase-I of the Agriculture Census, data on primary characteristics like number of operational holdings and area operated by different size classes (marginal, small, semi-medium, medium and large), social groups (SC, ST, Others), gender (male/female), types of holding (individual, joint and institutional), is collected. This operation covers all villages in land record States and 20 per cent of the villages in non-land record States. During Phase-II of the Census, holding schedule is canvassed in selected 20 percent villages in each tehsil for collecting detailed data on characteristics of operational holdings such as land use, irrigation status, tenancy particulars, cropping pattern, etc. Phase III of the Census, popularly known as Input Survey, relates to collection of data on the pattern of input use by operational holdings. This survey is conducted in 7 percent of villages selected in each tehsil of the State/UTs. This report on number and area of operational holdings in India is based on the provisional results of first Phase of the current Agriculture

5 Census 2015-16. The detailed data at lower administrative levels (district/tehsil etc.) for States and UTs are also being verified by the concerned States and UTs. After, completion of the data verification, the final results would be released within the shortest possible time. 2. Methodology and Sampling design The Agriculture Census data is collected following two broad approaches; in States where comprehensive land records exist (Land Record States), for Phase-I of the Census, the data on primary characteristics of operational holdings are collected and compiled on complete enumeration basis through re-tabulation of information available in the Village Land Records. For other States (Non-Land record States), this data is collected through sample survey in 20 per cent of villages in each block. These villages are selected through simple random sampling method and all the operational holdings in the selected villages are enumerated following household enquiry approach. The sample villages are same as those selected for the scheme Establishment of an Agency for Reporting of Agricultural Statistics (EARAS) for the reference year of the Census. The States where data collected through household enquiry approach include, viz. Kerala, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Odisha, Tripura, Sikkim, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram, Punjab and a few Districts of the State of Assam. In smaller UTs, like Lakshadweep, Daman & Diu etc., no sampling is done. i.e. all holdings in all the villages are surveyed for collection of data. During Phase-I, the computerized data of ownership holdings were also utilized for data collection in a few States. In such States, the ownership data was retrieved from the computerized land records and latter converted to operational holdings after verification by the field functionaries. 3. Highlights of the Report on Number and Area of Operational Holdings, 2015-16: 3.1 The total number of operational holdings in the country has increased from 138 million in 2010-11 to 146 million 2015-16 i.e. an increase of 5.33%.

6 3.2 The data for 2015-16 Agriculture Census reveals that in a total of 146 million operational holdings in the country, the highest number of operational holders belonged to Uttar Pradesh (23.82 million) followed by Bihar (16.41 million), Maharashtra (14.71 million), Madhya Pradesh (10.00 million), Karnataka (8.68 million), Andhra Pradesh (8.52 million), Tamil Nadu (7.94 million), Rajasthan (7.65 million), West Bengal (7.24 million). As regards operated area, out of a total of 157.14 million ha, the highest operated area was contributed by Rajasthan (20.87 million ha), followed by Maharashtra (19.88 million ha), Uttar Pradesh (17.45 million ha), Madhya Pradesh (15.67 million ha), Karnataka (11.72 million ha) etc. 3.3 At all India level, percentage increase in number of operational holdings in 2015-16 as compared to Agriculture Census 2010-11 worked out to 5.33% among states, the highest variation was found in the case of Madhya Pradesh (12.74%) followed by Andhra Pradesh (11.85%), Rajasthan (11.12%), Kerala (11.02%), Meghalaya (10.90%), Karnataka (10.78%) and Nagaland (10.50%) etc. 3.4 There is a decrease in the operated area from 159.59 million ha. in 2010-11 to 157.14 million ha. in 2015-16 showing an decrease of 1.53%. 3.5 Some states also showed decline in number of operational holdings. The sharpest fall has been in Goa (28.17%) and lowest in Manipur (0.09%). However, operated area has shown declining trends in most of the states. 3.6 As per, out of 36 States/UTs in the country, it was found that 14 States viz. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal account for about 91.03% in terms of number of operational holdings and about 88.08% in terms of area operated in the country. 3.7 The average size of operational holding has declined to 1.08 ha. in 2015-16 as compared to 1.15 in 2010-11. 3.8 The individual, joint and institutional holdings have shown a growth of 5.04%, 7.07% and 10.88% respectively over previous Agriculture Census.

7 3.9 The percentage share of female operational holders has increased from 12.79% in 2010-11 to 13.87% in 2015-16 with the corresponding figures of 10.36% and 11.57% in the operated area. This shows that more and more females are participating in the management and operation of agricultural lands. 3.10 The small and marginal holdings taken together (0.00-2.00 ha) constituted 86.21% in 2015-16 against 84.97% in 2010-11 while their share in the operated area stood 47.34% in the current census as against 44.31% in 2010-11. 3.11 Semi-medium and Medium operational holdings (2.00-10.00 ha) in 2015-16 were only 13.22% with 43.61% operated area. The corresponding figures for 2010-11 census was 14.29% and 44.82%. 3.12 The large holdings (10.00 ha & above) were merely 0.57% of total number of holdings in 2015-16 and had a share of 9.04% in the operated area as against 0.71% and 10.59% respectively for 2010-11 census. 3.13 A set of tables giving all India distribution of number of operational holdings and area operated and the state-wise breakup of distribution of the number of operational holdings and area operated by major size groups is presented in the tables that follow. *****
