Uttarakhand is the 1st state in the country to implement agricultural leasing policy
  • Uttarakhand has become the first state in India which has made a policy to lease agricultural land. After the approval of Rashtrapati Bhavan, the state government has issued the order.

Key Points

  • Under this leasing policy, instead of giving land on a 30-year lease, the concerned farmer will get the rent for the land.
  • By this policy any institutions, company, firm or NGO can take farm lands of maximum 30 acres in villages for lease for a period of 30 years and the government land around farm land can be taken for  lease by paying the fee with the permission of the District Magistrate.
