Today let’s talk about a very important topic: The Karnataka Land Reforms Act 1961. This landmark legislation was crafted to safeguard the interests of tenants and small-scale farmers in the Karnataka state of India. Its overarching goals included curbing the concentration of land within the hands of a privileged few while preserving agricultural land from being diverted for non-agricultural purposes.
At the heart of this act lie Sections 79(A) and 79(B), pivotal provisions that place restrictions on the ownership of agricultural lands by individuals without a lineage of farming spanning at least two generations anywhere in the nation. Moreover, these sections establish a cap on the extent of land that can be owned by an individual or a family within Karnataka.
Though land reforms fall under state jurisdiction, each Indian state possesses the authority to enact its own land reform and land usage laws. Notably, unlike other states, Karnataka has historically enforced limitations on agricultural land ownership – a stance that underwent transformation with the revocation of these sections via a July 2020 ordinance. This repeal breathed life into the aspirations of urban agriculture enthusiasts, enabling them to directly connect with the soil. Beyond just procuring produce from stores, individuals could now possess the means of agricultural production—an avenue to pursue.
