4.4.1 Patta Land Alienation

In the tribal districts of the state, 3/4th of the land is owned by the state and the rest 25% of land settled with the landholders within which 64% of the land belongs to tribals.8 The average land holding of tribal households in the tribal districts is only 1.06 standard acres, with approximately 20% of households being landless and 65% being small and marginal farmers.9 Through different processes of land alienation, even this small piece of land is being lost. Landlessness in tribal areas is broadly of three types: (i) Loss of land through survey and settlements; (ii) Loss of land through private transactions and (ii) Land alienation through displacement. In more specific way, the process can be separated under the following headings:Mortgaging of private or patta land by the tribals.
