To : All Deputy Commissioners All Sub-Divisional Officers All Settlement Officers Sub : Allotment/Settlement of Sarkari Land with the members of the Small Growers for Special Cultivation of tea etc. Sir, I am directed to state that Govt. have taken a policy decision under para 5 of Land Policy to allot/ Settle Sarkari land with the members of the Small Growers for special cultivation of Tea, Coffee, Rubber etc. While allotting land to small indigenous growers for special cultivation, preference should be given to:- i) Indigenous Youths coming from the families below poverty line. ii) Other Indigenous educated unemployed youths. iii) Co-operatives of Indigenous unemployed youths. Provided such local youths do not have land in their names or any member of their families and have taken special cultivation as a means of livelihood. The maximum ceiling of allotment of land for special cultivation is four hectare in case of individual and aggregate of the holdings of the number of member in case of registered Co-Operative Society. The Deputy Commissioners of the districts have been requested to submit proposals in favour of the genuine landless indigenous members of the small growers for special cultivation of tea- etc. as per provisions of Land Policy; but of late it has been observed that in certain District, the matter has not been taken up in the right earnest and the Deputy Commissioners have not submitted proposals in favour of the genuine landless local small growers for which the All Assam Small Growers Association have expressed displeasure and urged upon Govt. to take immediate steps. 1 It is also alleged by the members of the Small Growers that Sub-Divisional L.S.A.Cs have not recommended their proposals to Govt. in various districts as a result of which the proposals are pending at district and sub-divisional level for long. Under the above circumstances, Govt. desire that the Deputy Commissioners should take up the proposals in favour of genuine and deserving members of the Small Growers for special cultivation of tea in the right earnest as per provision of para 5 of existing Land policy and other relevant Acts., and Rules in force. Although as a matter of course, all Land settlement proposal should be processed through L.S.A.Cs, the Govt. do not have objection if such proposal for settlement / allotment of Land with members of the Small Tea growers are directly submitted to Govt. as per rule in case the Dy. Commissioners feel that process of such proposals for small tea growers through the L.S.A.Cs would cause undue delay. This exception will not be applicable to other land settlement proposals which shall have to be approved by the concerned L.S.A.Cs. It is further requested that all pending proposals for allotment of land to the deserving and eligible small growers should be submitted to Govt. within 31 st December’94 positively. This may please be treated as urgent. Yours faithfully, Sd/- Illegible Secy. to the Govt. of Assam, Revenue Department. Memo No. RSS 703/92/Pt/12-A Dtd Dispur the 23 rd Sept., 94 Copy to : 1.
