In many parts of the country, there are absentee land lords and the tillers are not having the rights on agricultural land. The big landlords who own big farm houses arc rich urbanites. The tillers and share croppers who actually cultivate the land of absentee land lords are not much interested in the development, proper management, utilisation of agricultural land, and modernisation of agriculture. This system leads to lack of interest on the part of the tiller and consequently, the per unit yield of most of the crops is low.
