While examining the shortcomings of the land reforms in the past, elaborate what land reforms 2.0 should look like.
Main Body
Land reforms were envisaged for better redistribution of land holdings and reduce systemic inequalities in the rural landscape. Pistol attempts at land reforms: 1. Emise of Constituent assembly and National struggle for freedom. 2. Legislations to reform land holdings - 1st Amendment 1951. 3. Special provisions - NIAM schedule. 4. Attempts to reform 'Right to property' Act - removed as a fundamental right. Shortcomings of land reforms: 1. Regionally implemented, not on a pan-India level.
2. Certain eastern states implemented better reforms than rest of the country - (Abolition of Zamindari). 3. Policy loopholes - Transferring property to family members. 4. Individual limit presumed but not on land holding of family. 5. Improper implementation due to corruption and under-reporting. 6. Improper land records maintenance caused legal disputes. Land reforms 2.0 should be guided by these guidelines: 1. Geo-spatial mapping and geo tagging of land parcels - Blue Aadhaar. 2. Digitized land record maintenace - BHOOMI project - Karnataka. 2. Use of Data triangulation to arrive at landholding & revenue generation.
4. Productivity of land parcels should be considered. 5. Vulnerability of zones/regions to be accounted for. 6. Uniform metrics of the measurement. 7. Local ownership patterns to be respected. Community ownership of Punda forbidds. 8. Reserved & Protected forests to be enlarged and community forests to be protected. Hence, a comprehensive utilization of AI, Data analytics and governmental policy guidelines will help realize the goal of equitable distribution of resources under Article 39 of the Constitution.
Conclusion
Hence, a comprehensive utilization of AI, Data analytics and governmental policy guidelines will help realize the goal of equitable distribution of resources under Article 39 of the Constitution.
