Question

i)right to succession
ii) right to information
iii)right to inheritance
iv) right to landceiling

Answer 1

The right of inheritance has led to fragmentation of landholding size.

What is land fragmentation?

• Land fragmentation means farmers who own lands that are geographically separate from each other.
• Fragmented land is often problematic as farmers cannot pay attention completely to all areas.
• Also, fermented lands often come with problems like irregular shapes, soil erosion, water and salinity problems, etc.  

Thus, option (iii) is correct.
