摘要

Since the early-1990s, with the advent of globalisation in Indian economy, there has been growing demand for agricultural inputs associated with the growing burden of subsidies combined with fiscal constraint. Paradoxically with spread of the new technology there is an increasing dependence on modern inputs in agriculture, while there has been declining public investment in agriculture. The share of public sector in the gross capital formation (GCF) in agriculture which was about 43 per cent in the early 1980s drastically declined to about 15 per cent by 2010-11. The growing capital intensity in agriculture and the relatively declining role of the state in input supply raises serious challenges to agricultural development and especially the welfareof the small and marginal farmers. Despite extreme population pressures and limited land resources, the notable progress of West Bengal in achieving food security can largely be attributed to the enforcement of tenancy reforms and the rapid expansion ofgroundwater irrigation. This policy promoted rapid expansion of irrigated "boro" rice farming in the dry season. As boro cultivation required controlled irrigation it flourished where canal irrigation in the post-monsoon season was adequate. In many areas that were outside the command areas of the governmental irrigation facilities, private farmers invested in groundwater extraction devices. The growth of private water market in the post monsoon season led to reverse tenancy, i.e., leasing out of land from relatively smaller to relatively large farmers. The study forms a game theoretical model based on the data collected from surveys conducted in some village households of Murshidabad district. The findings suggest that both the small and the large farmers gain from this seasonal leasing contract, without the fear of losing the existing Barga rights.
