Explain the limit of fixation of holdings.

Answer»

The maximum limit of holding was fixed by the government. The sub-division and fragmentation of holdings in the country took place due to various legal, social, economic and demographic reasons. To resolve the problem of sub-division and fragmentation, the consolidation of holdings was done. Consolidation implied providing farmland at one place to the farmer instead of fields scattered around places in the village. 

In 2010-11, fixation of holdings and their percentage was done according to the following table:
