Technical Notes
1. Definitions
Operational Holding:
All land which is used wholly or partly for agricultural production

and is operated as one technical unit by one person alone or with others
without regard to the title, legal form, size or location.
Technical Unit:
An unit of land which is under the same management and has the
same means of production such as labour force, machinery and animals.
Operated area:
Operated area includes both cultivated and uncultivated area,

provided part of it is put to agricultural production during the reference
period. If, for instance, an operational holding consists of four survey
numbers out of which one survey number is put to non-agricultural uses,
the total area of the operational holding will be equal to the total
geographical area of all the four survey numbers.
Operational holder:
A person who has the responsibility for the operation of the

agricultural holding and who exercises the technical initiative and is
responsible for its operation. He may have full economic responsibility or
may share it with others. The operational holder may be Individual/Joint/
Institutional.
i) Individual: If the holding is being operated either by one

person or by a group of persons who are the members of the

2
same household, such holding will be considered as an

individual holding.
ii) Joint: If two or more persons belonging to different
households, share jointly as partners in the economic and
technical responsibility for the operation of an agricultural
holding, such holding will be considered as joint holding.
iii) Institutional: Holdings such as government farms, farms of

sugarcane factories, cooperative farms, lands managed by
trusts would be treated as institutional holdings.
2. Size classes and Size groups of Holdings:
The data are presented at All India level and for all States and
Union Territories in the following size classes and size groups of
operational holdings

All India Report on Number and Area of operational holdings –

2015-16
Introduction
The Agriculture Census in India is conducted at five yearly

intervals to collect data on structural aspects of operational holdings in
the country. The Agriculture Census programme is carried out in three
phases at five yearly intervals with cooperation of States/UTs. The
Government of India provides a financial and administrative support as
well as all technical guidance to States/UTs required for Census
operations. In each State/UT a nucleus staff of the State Government,
designated as State Agriculture Census Unit is responsible for
coordinating the activities of Agriculture Census Programme at the
State/UT level.
The reference period for Agriculture Census is the Agricultural

year (July-June). The first comprehensive Agriculture Census in the
country was conducted with reference year 1970-71. So far, nine
Agriculture Censuses have been conducted in the country. The current
Agriculture Census with reference year 2015-16 is tenth in the series.
Being the ultimate unit for taking agriculture-related decisions,
operational holding has been taken as statistical unit at micro-level for
data collection.
During Phase-I of the Agriculture Census, data on primary

characteristics like number of operational holdings and area operated by
different size classes (marginal, small, semi-medium, medium and large),
social groups (SC, ST, Others), gender (male/female), types of holding
(individual, joint and institutional), is collected. This operation covers all
villages in land record States and 20 per cent of the villages in non-land
record States.
During Phase-II of the Census, holding schedule is canvassed in

selected 20 percent villages in each tehsil for collecting detailed data on
characteristics of operational holdings such as land use, irrigation status,
tenancy particulars, cropping pattern, etc. Phase – III of the Census,
popularly known as Input Survey, relates to collection of data on the
pattern of input use by operational holdings. This survey is conducted in
7 percent of villages selected in each tehsil of the State/UTs.
This report on number and area of operational holdings in India is

based on the provisional results of first Phase of the current Agriculture

5
Census 2015-16. The detailed data at lower administrative levels

(district/tehsil etc.) for States and UTs are also being verified by the
concerned States and UTs. After, completion of the data verification, the
final results would be released within the shortest possible time.
2. Methodology and Sampling design
The Agriculture Census data is collected following two broad

approaches; in States where comprehensive land records exist (Land
Record States), for Phase-I of the Census, the data on primary
characteristics of operational holdings are collected and compiled on
complete enumeration basis through re-tabulation of information
available in the Village Land Records.
For other States (Non-Land record States), this data is collected

through sample survey in 20 per cent of villages in each block. These
villages are selected through simple random sampling method and all the
operational holdings in the selected villages are enumerated following
household enquiry approach. The sample villages are same as those
selected for the scheme Establishment of an Agency for Reporting of
Agricultural Statistics (EARAS) for the reference year of the Census.
The States where data collected through household enquiry

approach include, viz. Kerala, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Odisha,
Tripura, Sikkim, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Goa, Mizoram,
Punjab and a few Districts of the State of Assam. In smaller UTs, like
Lakshadweep, Daman & Diu etc., no sampling is done. i.e. all holdings in
all the villages are surveyed for collection of data.
During Phase-I Agriculture Census 2015-16, the computerized data

of ownership holdings were also utilized for data collection in a few
States. In such States, the ownership data was retrieved from the
computerized land records and latter converted to operational holdings
after verification by the field functionaries.
3. Highlights of the Report on Number and Area of Operational

Holdings, 2015-16:
3.1 The total number of operational holdings in the country has

increased from 138 million in 2010-11 to 146 million 2015-16 i.e. an
increase of 5.33%.

6
3.2 The data for 2015-16 Agriculture Census reveals that in a total of
146 million operational holdings in the country, the highest number of
operational holders belonged to Uttar Pradesh (23.82 million) followed
by Bihar (16.41 million), Maharashtra (14.71 million), Madhya Pradesh
(10.00 million), Karnataka (8.68 million), Andhra Pradesh (8.52 million),
Tamil Nadu (7.94 million), Rajasthan (7.65 million), West Bengal (7.24
million). As regards operated area, out of a total of 157.14 million ha, the
highest operated area was contributed by Rajasthan (20.87 million ha),
followed by Maharashtra (19.88 million ha), Uttar Pradesh (17.45 million
ha), Madhya Pradesh (15.67 million ha), Karnataka (11.72 million ha)
etc.
3.3 At all India level, percentage increase in number of operational

holdings in 2015-16 as compared to Agriculture Census 2010-11 worked
out to 5.33% among states, the highest variation was found in the case of
Madhya Pradesh (12.74%) followed by Andhra Pradesh (11.85%),
Rajasthan (11.12%), Kerala (11.02%), Meghalaya (10.90%), Karnataka
(10.78%) and Nagaland (10.50%) etc.
3.4 There is a decrease in the operated area from 159.59 million ha. in
2010-11 to 157.14 million ha. in 2015-16 showing an decrease of 1.53%.
3.5 Some states also showed decline in number of operational

holdings. The sharpest fall has been in Goa (28.17%) and lowest in
Manipur (0.09%). However, operated area has shown declining trends in
most of the states.
3.6 As per Agriculture Census 2015-16, out of 36 States/UTs in the

country, it was found that 14 States viz. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar,
Chhattisgarh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra,
Odisha, Rajasthan, Tamilnadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh and West
Bengal account for about 91.03% in terms of number of operational
holdings and about 88.08% in terms of area operated in the country.
3.7 The average size of operational holding has declined to 1.08 ha. in
2015-16 as compared to 1.15 in 2010-11.
3.8 The individual, joint and institutional holdings have shown a

growth of 5.04%, 7.07% and 10.88% respectively over previous
Agriculture Census.

3.9 The percentage share of female operational holders has increased

from 12.79% in 2010-11 to 13.87% in 2015-16 with the corresponding
figures of 10.36% and 11.57% in the operated area. This shows that more
and more females are participating in the management and operation of
agricultural lands.
3.10 The small and marginal holdings taken together (0.00-2.00 ha)
constituted 86.21% in 2015-16 against 84.97% in 2010-11 while their
share in the operated area stood 47.34% in the current census as against
44.31% in 2010-11.
3.11 Semi-medium and Medium operational holdings (2.00-10.00 ha) in

2015-16 were only 13.22% with 43.61% operated area. The
corresponding figures for 2010-11 census was 14.29% and 44.82%.
3.12 The large holdings (10.00 ha & above) were merely 0.57% of total
number of holdings in 2015-16 and had a share of 9.04% in the operated
area as against 0.71% and 10.59% respectively for 2010-11 census.
