Dear Friends,

We are a group of city dwellers interested in starting Agricultural activity as a hobby. Our interest is to implement the methods of Rain water harvesting and Organic farming and also to generate small time employment to rural families.

We are looking out for buying dry Agricultural Lands of about 5 to 10 Acres each with a budget of Rs 1 to 3 Lakhs per Acre some where in between Kanakapura and Malavalli.

Can any of you, experienced agriculturalists or land dealers, land buyers let us know the procedure of buying the agricultural lands, any tips as to how to authenticate the seller and what are the documents to be checked before buying. Also the tricks used by villagers to sell govt lands such as gomala, kharab etc.

With the recent boom in lands due to Airport and IT activity we do know that out there a lot to malpractice take place. Any tips as to how to operate through land agents and other things from experienced persons would be helpful for us and also to others. Any suggestions / tips would be highly appreciated .

Thanks and regards
