The Mizoram Agricultural Land Leasing Act, 2021

General202123 sections

This legislation governs the leasing of agricultural land in Mizoram to enhance farming efficiency and equity. It applies to land owners seeking to lease out their land and Scheduled Tribe individuals or cultivator groups wishing to lease it in. This law is significant because it allows semi-landless farmers the opportunity to grow crops on rented land, thereby diversifying their occupations and accessing essential support services such as credit, insurance, and subsidies. The Act effectively balances the need for agricultural expansion with the protection of land rights for the original owners.
