Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has announced a big good news for about 2 lakh farmers of Delhi.
The method of giving ownership rights of land to farmers living in Delhi has changed. Now the farmers of Delhi will be given ownership rights on the land on the basis of mutation i.e. on the basis of inheritance. How will farmers benefit from land mutation? Let us tell you.
Two lakh farmers will benefit
Delhi’s Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena has given a great news to the farmers of 100 urbanized villages of Delhi.

Mutation was stopped for 14 years
This is also a great news for the farmers of Delhi because mutation for agricultural land was closed for the last 14 years i.e. since 2010. Due to non-mutation, many farmers had to face a lot of loss. Despite having their own land, farmers could not take loan on this land. Delhi LG VK Saxena also apologized to the farmers for the trouble they faced. After the mutation starts, now about 2 lakh farmers of 100 villages will get ownership rights on agricultural land on the basis of inheritance.
There was trouble earlier
Earlier, after the death of a farmer, his children could not get the land registered in their name. Elgin said that this was very unfortunate. This work should have started much earlier. Giving information about this, LG said that now camps will be set up in the villages for this. These will be supervised by the District Officer.
