Land disputes and fraud in Indian villages are a major problem, often caused by corrupt patwaris and powerful landowners who take advantage of the lack of a secure system for land ownership verification. Small farmers often lose their land due to boundary disputes or tampering with land records. This situation is further complicated by the fact that small farms are increasingly divided due to inheritance. As agriculture is the largest occupation in India, this problem hampers productivity and can lead to social unrest.
