Bhumidhari System

The Bhumidhari system is a land tenure arrangement in India where landholders, known as Bhumidars, are granted ownership rights over land, allowing them to cultivate, sell, or transfer it. Unlike tenant farmers, Bhumidars have a more secure and recognized claim to their land, with rights recognized by law. This system aims to encourage long-term cultivation and investment, as landholders possess legal rights that provide security and stability. Essentially, it formalizes land ownership, balancing the interests of landlords and cultivators, and facilitating easier land transactions within the agricultural framework.
