FOREWORD

The Department of Agriculture and Cooperation has been organizingnational Agriculture Census on quinquennial basis to obtain key informationregarding structural changes taking place in the agriculture sector. So far,eight Agriculture Censuses have been completed since 1970-71 and theninth census is in progress. This publication, which is the outcome of thefirst phase of Agriculture Census 2010-11, contains valuable information onnumber and area of operational holdings in the country. This information isused very frequently by various Departments in the Union and StateGovernments and other data users connected with agricultural planning anddevelopment .

The present publication has been brought out in record time, unlike inthe past, when four to six years time was taken to publish the result ofprevious Censuses. This became possible primarily because of meticulousplanning, technical backstopping , administrative support and continuousmonitoring. I wish to record my appreciation of the outstanding work ofDr. Vidya Dhar, Deputy Director General-cum-Agriculture CensusCommissioner and his team in the Agriculture Census Division of thisDepartment. I also wish to convey my thanks to all officers/officials ofState/UT Governments without whose wholehearted efforts this mammothexercise would not have been possible. I hope the results of the Censuswould be found useful by persons/organizations associated withdevelopment of Agriculture in the country. These results would also bemade available on the website of the Department.

The contribution of Agriculture and Allied Sector in the Gross DomesticProduct (GDP)of the country has been steadily declining over the years and hasreached about 14 percent in 2011-12. However, it still remains principal sourceof livelihood for more than 50 percent of the nation's population. Indiapossessesonly 11 percent of world's arable land but it has to feed about 18percent of world population. To provide food and livelihood security, theGovernment has been making all out efforts through various Schemesto improvethe productivity of land and enhance farm incomes. In this context, collectionand maintenance of time series data relating to agricultural operational holdingsassumesvital importance.

As part of World Agriculture Census (WCA) Programme, firstcomprehensive Agriculture Census was carried out in the country withagricultural year 1970-71 as the reference period. In the light of the utility ofcensus data, the second Agriculture Censuswas conducted in 1976-77. Sincethen, agriculture censuses have been conducted in the country at five yearlyintervals. The current Agriculture Censuswith reference year 2010-11 is ninth inthe series. The present report, which is an outcome of the first phase ofAgriculture Census 2010-11, contains data on number and area of operationalholdings by various size classes of holdings, social group, types of holding andgender.

Unlike previous censuses, all 35 States/Ufs participated in AgricultureCensus2010-11 and the results have been brought out in 15 months, shortesttime taken so far. This becamepossibledue to whole hearted cooperation of theState and Union Territory Governments.

I would like to place on record my appreciation to Dr. Vidya Dhar,Agriculture Census Commissioner, Government of India and his team formeticulously planning Census activities and tirelessly pursuing with States/UTsand NIC for bringing out Phase-I results of Agriculture Census2010-11 in recordtime.

I hope the report would be used widely by all data users in Government,academicians, Research Institutions and others' associated with agriculturaldevelopment in India as it provides disaggregated information about operationalholdings at Tehsil/Block level in the country.

INTRODUCTION

The Government of India has been conducting quinquennial AgricultureCensus in the country since 1970-71. So far, eight Censuses have beenconducted and the ninth one with reference year 2010-11 is going on in thecountry. The Census provides crucial information on the structural aspects ofIndian Agriculture which continues to be the main stay of the Indian Economy.The concepts and definition used in the Indian Agriculture Censusare broadly inconformity with those adopted in the World Census of Agriculture The basicstatistical unit for data collection in Agriculture Census is 'Operational Holding'rather than 'Ownership Holding', as the farm level decisionsare taken by personswho operate land and not by those who own it.

The Agriculture Census is conducted in three phases. In Phase-I, all theoperational holdings in the country are enumerated and the results givingnumber and area of operational holdings at various administrative levels likeBlockjTehsil, District and State are generated according to various size classes,social groups, types of holding and gender.

The results of first phase of the ninth Censushave now been prepared forall the 35 States/UTsand is being published in the form of an All India Report onnumber and area of operational holdings. As per the findings of this report, the.total number of operational holdings in the country has increased from 129million in 2005-06 to 138 million in 2010-11 showing an increase of 6.61 percentin 2010-11 over 2005-06. The operated area has also increased to 159.18million ha. in 2010-11 from 158.32 million ha. in 2005-06, indicating a marginalincrease of 0.54 percent. The operated area has primarily increased becausethe State of Jharkhand participated for the first time in Agriculture Census2010-11 since the State came into being in the year 2000, while in Bihar, the fieldwork has been successfully completed in all the Anchals for the first time after1980-81 Census. In Rajasthan the operated area increasedas the Government

of Rajasthan distributed waste land(culturable) among landless householdsduring 2010-11. In North Eastern States, data is collected on sample basis andbecause of prevalence of joom cultivation in these States, fluctuations occur inthe operated area.

The average size of operational holdings has been steadily declining in thecountry in successivecensuses. The Average operated size of holding which was1.23 ha in 2005-06, has declined to 1.16 ha in 2010-11 at All India level.

I am happy to record that for the first time, Phase-I results have beenmade available in public domain in a record time span of just 15 months. Thishas been possible because of active and whole-hearted cooperation by all theofficers/officials associatedwith the programme of Agriculture Census, 2010-11in States/UTsand at Central level.

I would specifically like to place on record my appreciation to the largenumber of functionaries of State/UT Governments for their contribution inCensuswork without whose efforts this mammoth exercisewould not have beencompleted. I would also like to commend the efforts of officers and staff of theAgricultural Census Division in this Department who worked sincerely andtirelessly to monitor census operations and provide administrative and technicalsupport to the States/UTs.

The data would also be made available on the websitehttp://agcensus.nic.in soon.

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

same household, such holding will be considered as an

individual holding.

ii) 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.

Union Territories in the following size classes and size groups of

operational holdings

2. Sampling design

For the collection of data in the Agriculture Census, an approach of

Census-cum-sample survey has been adopted. Various States in the

country have been grouped in to two categories i.e. land record States and

non-land record States. Those States where comprehensive land records

are maintained giving information on land and its utilization, cropping

pattern etc are called land record States and those States where such

information is not maintained in the form of land-records are called non-

land record States. In land record States data on Agriculture Census is

pooled for all the parcels of an operational holding irrespective of its

location. However, for operational convenience the outer limit for

pooling is restricted to taluka. This pooling is done for each operational

holder in the village of his residence. In the non-land record States the

data is collected through sample survey following household enquiry

approach in 20% of villages in each block. In these selected villages, all

the operational holdings are enumerated following household enquiry

approach.

3

Thus in land record States no sampling is resorted to for data

collection for the number and area of operational holdings and in non-

land record States sampling of villages in each block/taluka is resorted to.

3. Attributes of disaggregation

This report contains the number and area of operational holdings

1. Methodology

1.1 Agriculture Census is the largest countrywide statistical operation

undertaken by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India for

collection of data on the structural profile of Indian agriculture. The first

Agriculture Census in the country was conducted with reference year

1970-71. So far eight Agriculture Censuses have been conducted at five

yearly intervals. The ninth Agriculture Census is presently going on.

1.2 This report presents the summary results obtained during Phase-I

of the ninth Agriculture Census with reference year 2010-11 (July to

June). Phase-I of the census operation is carried out for all the agricultural

operational holdings in the country.

1.3 The Census is carried out in three Phases. During Phase-1, a list of

all the holdings with data on primary characteristics like area, gender and

social group of the holder and its location code etc. are prepared. During

Phase-II detailed data on irrigation status, tenancy particulars, cropping

pattern, number of crops taken etc. are collected. Phase III, popularly

known as Input Survey, relates to collection of data on the pattern of

input use across various crops, regions and size groups of holdings.

1.4 In States where the revenue agency maintains the record of

ownership of holdings and regular crop inspections are carried out, such

records form the basis for conducting Phase-I of the Census operations.

In non-land record States & UTs, viz. Kerala, Meghalaya, Manipur,

Nagaland, Orissa, Tripura, Sikkim, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh,

Goa, Daman & Diu, Lakshadweep and Mizoram, such data are not

available for preparing the frame for Agriculture Census. In these States,

a list of land holding household is prepared in 20 percent villages which

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 data for Phase-I is collected on all the holdings in these 20

percent sample villages. Punjab, though a land record State, followed the

procedure for data collection as in case of non-land States. For Phase II,

further sampling of holdings is carried out for collection of detailed data.

The sampling procedure, however, varies from State to State, depending

upon the size and other relevant characters of the States/UT.

1.5 In the Land Record States, the data on the number and area of

holdings is collected in the specified schedules using the land records as

Page 14: AGRICULTURE CENSUS 2010-11 · 2013. 4. 19. · 1 Agriculture Census 2010-11 Technical Notes 1. Definitions Operational Holding: All land which is used wholly or partly for agricultural

benchmark. However, as per the concepts and definitions followed in the

Census, effort is made to obtain the de facto position rather than de jure

position. A number of parcels of land scattered within a tehsil but

operated by an individual or a single household are clubbed together to

make a single holding. Similarly, such holdings on which partitions had

taken place in practice, though not legally, are counted as separate

holdings. The list of operational holdings is manually sorted according to

social groups, viz. SCs, STs and others, of the holder and size of the

holding at village level. Collection of the data on number and area of

operational holdings according to gender of the holder was introduced for

the first time during 1995-96 Census. Various tables prepared at village

level are aggregated at Taluka, District, State and finally at all India level.

2. The Highlights of the Report on Number and Area of Operational

Holdings, 2010-11:

2.1 As per the Agriculture Census, 2010-11, the total number of

operational holdings in the country has increased from 129 million in

2005-06 to 138 million 2010-11 i.e. an increase of 6.61%.

2.2 There is a marginal increase in the operated area from 158.32

million ha. in 2005-06 to 159.18 million ha. in 2010-11 showing an

increase of 0.54%. The operated area has primarily increased because the

State of Jharkhand participated for the first time in Agriculture Census

2010-11 since the State came into being in the year 2000.

2.3 The average size of operational holding has declined to 1.16 ha. in

2010-11 as compared to 1.23 in 2005-06.

2.4 The percentage share of female operational holders has increased

from 11.70 in 2005-06 to 12.79 in 2010-11 with the corresponding

operated area of 9.33 and 10.36.

2.5 The small and marginal holdings taken together (below 2.00 ha.)

constitute 84.97 percent in 2010-11 against 83.29 in 2005-06 and the

operated area at 44.31 percent in the current Census as against the

corresponding figure of 41.14 percent in 2005-06.

2.6 The semi-medium and medium operational holding (2.00 ha. –

10.00 ha.) in 2010-11 were 14.30 percent with the operated area at 44.77

percent. The corresponding figures for 2005-06 Census were 15.86 and

47.05 percent.

2.7 The large holdings (10.00 ha. & above) were 0.73 percent of total

number of holdings in 2010-11 with a share of 10.92 percent in the

Page 15: AGRICULTURE CENSUS 2010-11 · 2013. 4. 19. · 1 Agriculture Census 2010-11 Technical Notes 1. Definitions Operational Holding: All land which is used wholly or partly for agricultural

operated area as against 0.85 percent and 11.82 percent respectively for

2005-06 Census.

2.8 Out of 35 States/UTs in the country, it was found that 13 States

viz. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala,

Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Uttar

Pradesh and West Bengal account for about 91% in terms of number of

operational holdings with almost equal share of operated area (about

88%) in 2010-11.

2.9 In a total of 137.76 million operational holdings in the country, the

highest number belonged to Uttar Pradesh (22.93 million) followed by

Bihar (16.19 million), Maharashtra (13.70 million), Andhra Pradesh

(13.18 million), Madhya Pradesh (8.87 million), Tamil Nadu (8.12

million), Karnataka (7.83 million), West Bengal (7.12 million), Rajasthan

(6.89 million), Kerala (6.83 million) etc. with the lowest number of only

714 operational holdings in U.T. of Chandigarh.

2.10 Out of a total of 159.18 million hectares operated area in the

country in 2010-11, the highest contribution was made by Rajasthan

(21.14 million ha.) followed by Maharashtra (19.84 million ha.), Uttar

Pradesh (17.09 million ha.), Madhya Pradesh (15.84 million ha.), Andhra

Pradesh (14.29 million ha.), Karnataka (12.16 million ha.), Gujarat (9.98

million ha.) etc. with the lowest operated area of 923 hectares in U.T. of

Chandigarh.

2.11 As compared to 2005-06, percentage variation in number of

operational holdings in 2010-11 was highest in case of Madhya Pradesh

(12.19 percent) followed by Rajasthan (11.35 percent), Bihar (10.47

percent), Daman & Diu (9.60 percent), Andhra Pradesh (9.39 percent),

Goa (9.04 percent), Chhattisgarh (8.26 percent), Odisha (7.14 percent),

Puducherry (5.56 percent), Jammu & Kashmir (5.20 percent), Nagaland

(5.06 percent) etc. However, operated area showed declining trend in

most of the States.

2.12 A set of tables giving all India distribution of number of 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.
