Dear Viewers I Show that in this vedio Rules of taking khas land Settlement ?
Land-peasant-wealth are interrelated and inter depended categories. Land is the mother of wealth and labor of the peasants is her father. Land and peasantry together form the basis of reproductive civilization, and foundation for krishi agriculture and krishti-culture. Land is scarce and, therefore, establishing ownership right over land was always highly competitive, in which violence, speculation and other deceptive means were common. Land forms the basis of our social, economic and political power structures. That is why the `noise' about Land Reform has always been much pronounced in this part of the world. Our contemporary
history of land reform is essentially the history of acquisition and distribution of Khas Land. This is the most unresolved issue of Agrarian Reform. There was no dearth of prescription from the side of states and governments in the past fifty years (since the promulgation of East
Bengal State Acquisition and Tenancy Act 1950) that "intermediaries shall be wiped-out, and all land shall belong to the real cultivators as owners". This has never been materialized. To the contrary, a vested interest group representing the power structure comprising of local influential, dishonest politicians, government officials and emerging "bourgeoisie" have
managed to occupy almost all the khas lands (agricultural, non-agricultural, and water bodies), illegally. From peoples' point of view, the issue of khas land is so much so neglected and non-transparent that no one even knows what is the amount of khas land available in Bangladesh. No comprehensive research work has so far been undertaken to
assess the impact of distribution of the khas land on the poor, and the whole range of problems associated with the retention and non-retention of khas land by the poor including the role of the power matrix (agents of power structure) in the process of alienating the poor from their inherent rights to own the khas land. The present study purports to fill-in our
knowledge gaps about the above important issues so far untouched in the literature.The present study followed an exploratory research design in which both primary and secondary data were obtained using qualitative and quantitative data collection instruments.
Secondary sources were explored mainly for two purposes: office records to estimate the amount of khas land (by types and geographical locations) available in Bangladesh, and legal documen to Agricultural Khas Land Management and Settlement to analyze the evolution of relevant laws and enactments during the last about two centuries. Primary data were obtained in compliance with the specific Gaibandha and Shailkupa were selected for the sample survey (200 samples with 50 from each thana, randomly drawn) with the beneficiaries of khas land, and for conducting
sixteen case studies with those beneficiaries of khas land who
subsequently were unable to retain control over the khas land; two sample thanas, namely Santhia and Ranisankail were selected to study ‘best practices’ of organized efforts of peasantry reflecting "success stories of struggle for khas land.
Major Findings
The major findings emerged from our analyses having policy, strategy and programmatic
implications are as follows:
HDRC
Distribution
• The major elements in the evolution of the laws on khas land can be traced in the
following instruments: Bengal Regulation XI 1825, Bengal Alluvion Act 1868,
Government Estates Manual 1919, Bengal Crown Estates Manual 1932, East
Bengal Acquisition and Tenancy Act 1950, The Bangladesh State Acquisition and
Tenancy (Fourth Amendment) Order 1972 (PO 135), Bangladesh Landholding
Limitation Order 1972 (PO 98), President's Order LXI 1975, Land Reform Action
Programme 1987, Agriculture Khas Land Management and Settlement Policy
1997. In addition, many circulars and memos were issued by competent authorities,
many of which are contradictory by nature.
• The evolution of the land related Laws gives an impression that things were made
difficult-to-understand, consciously, reasons for which are best known to the
colonial and para-colonial law makers.
• So far, agricultural khas land is concerned, the East Bengal State Acquisition and
Tenancy Act 1950 was the mainframe legal document which was promulgated to
abolish the Zemindari System (Permanent Settlement of 1793). This law was the
basis for all subsequent laws on khas land which declared that "So far as
agricultural lands .... are concerned, they shall be held by one class of people to be
known as maliks or raiyats which means that those shall be no intermediary
