Question

Consider the following statements regarding co-operative farming
1. It aims at pooling of lands to achieve economies of scale
2. It was the most successful of all land reforms
3. It was a voluntary reform measure

Which of the above statements are correct

• A. 1 and 3
• B. 1 and 2
• C. 2 and 3
• D. 1,2 and 3

Answer 1

The correct option is A 1 and 3

Cooperative farming refers to an organisation in which each member-farmer remains the owner of his land individually. But farming is done jointly. Profit is distributed among the member-farmers in the ratio of land owned by them. It was a voluntary reform measure. It was not a very successful land reform policy.
