SUBDIVISION OF HOLDINGS 



Statement Showing Different Holdings held by three Different 

 Kabjedars in the Village of Kane, Taluka Pen. 



CASE No. IV. 



The following statement merely indicates the extent of 

 subdivision of holdings in a typical village, showing the 

 holdings of agriculturists and non-agriculturists separately. 

 The village of Nehuli, taluka Alibag, district Kolaba, was 

 selected because practically all the occupied land in the 

 village is rice land, less than 4 acres out of 125 acres being 

 ivarkas (i.e. dry crop) land. It will be seen that the average 

 size of a holding held by an agriculturist is only 2| acres, 

 and by a non-agriculturist 3£ acres. Amongst 24 agricultural 

 holdings one is large, 3 or 4 fair in size, and the rest very 

 small, 9 being less than one acre. Amongst 19 holdings of 

 non-agriculturists one is large, 5 fair in size, and the rest 

 very small, 8 being less than 1 acre.
