Transferability of Raiyati Holdings in Bihar-A Long Journey, 1793-1950

Among the major obstacles to agricultural development is the defective agrarian structure or institutional framework of agricultural production. The common criticism about the land reforms programme in the country is that legislation has been far short of the policy declarations and the implementation has been nowhere near even that watered down legislation. The state of Bihar is considered to be the worst in this respect, both in legislation and implementation.
