The correct option is A to facilitate insurance, disaster relief to tenants
Recently, the Expert Group on Land Leasing set up by NITI Aayog under the chairmanship of Dr. T. Haque, submitted its recommendations to create a model law to formalise leasing of agricultural land.
One of the key objectives of the model law is to facilitate insurance, disaster relief, and bank credit to the tenant without mortgaging of the leased land.
Due to lack of any legal framework for leasing, the informal tenants of agricultural land have, in many parts of the country, been deprived access of these facilities, fuelling farmer suicides.
The Model Act proposes quicker litigation process in case of disputes. It is expected that the dispute settlement will be taken up at the level of the Gram Sabha, Panchayat and Tehsildar.
Land ownership will remain secure and will revert to the owner and in case the parcel of land is sold before the tenure of the lease is complete, the rights of the tenants will be secure.
States will also be free to take up the model law for barren agriculture land and lease it out for non-farm activities
