| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted to know the present scenario of agricultural land market in Gurdaspur district of Punjab. The data pertained to the agricultural year 2008-09. Three blocks were selected i.e. Dhariwal, Kadian and Shri Hargobindpur. Out of these selected blocks, two villages from each block were selected randomly i.e, Kaler Kalan and Khunda from Dhariwal, Leel Kalan and Kahlawan from Kadian and Sandhawan Kalan and Attepur from Shri Hargobindpur. A sample of all the farmer households who had made any land transaction during the study period was taken. In this way, a total number of 137 farmers were selected, out of which 33 (24.08%) farmers leased-in, 46 (33.57%) leased-out, 41 (29.93%) sold and 17 (12.41%) farmers purchased land. In order to achieve the stipulated objectives, tabular and functional analyses were used. The proportion of farmers who sold, leased-in and leased-out land was the highest among small farmers and the lowest among medium farmers. However, the proportion of farmers who purchased land was the highest among small farmers (35.29%) and the lowest among the large farmers (5.88%). The study revealed that the small farmers were the main players of land market in the area. The expenditure on foreign migration and expenditure on purchase of land had positively and significantly influenced agricultural land sale market. However, in land purchase market, the contribution of factors like salary income, agricultural income, income from abroad was positive and significant. The factors like, less returns from the small farm holdings and division of land made positive and significant contribution in the land lease-in market. Similarly, the factors like irrigation problem, no earner in the family and old age had positively and significantly influenced the agricultural land leased-out market. | en_US |
