Land regulations in India should not distinguish between types of land i.e. agricultura, residential, NA, industrial etc., it does not make much sense and helps the under hand dealings and buearocracy. Few of the pointers to be considered - of course there will be counter arguements & better points.
- Land should be purchaseable by anyone who is a Indian citizen - need not be a farmer, agriculturist etc
- Depending on the specific zones, permissions (single-window) can be provided for construction and size and scale of construction
- The above permission process will be a gate-keeper to ensure that greenery, agriculturability of land ratio is maintained in each zone - permit only as much as required
- Land purchase, registration, transfers etc., should be electronically tracked and monitored and should be transparent to all through govt websites. Some states partly have this and the updates take years to be done in some cases.
- Agricultural subsidies should be stopped and all inputs for agriculture should be provided at specific private chains, which need to be monitored by central agency
- Seeds, saplings and basic fertilizers should be provided free of cost to all indulging in farming
- Privatises outlets, again monitored by central agency should be appointed across the country to publish daily rates for purchase of various basic grains, vegetables etc. If this rate is competitive then farmers will sell to them or go to market direct. This will remove lack of transparency, under hand dealings, price cutting, middle men etc
- The above is working in milk industry with private players like HLL, Nestle, etc., buying in bulk from farmers their produce
- Remove the process of talathis, clerks, etc., in land transfer process- they take the most money and do no work - keep it simple like registering a flat in the city
