Problems with Keralam's Land Policy | Episode 36 in English | Nayadrishti

Fahad joins us again for our second English episode. In this one, Anand speaks to Fahad about the Kerala Conservation of Paddy and Wetland Act 2008. The policy has effectively locked all paddy land, making it difficult to sell or transact the land. It forces farmers to continue agriculture even when it is not profitable.
