Land Sales and Land Prices in Punjab 1952-53 to 1978-79


H S Shergill The importance of land sales and land prices in the evolution of land ownership structure notwithstanding, these have not been given adequate attention by scholars in developing countries. Non-availability of reliable secondary data on land sales and land prices seems to be mainly responsible for this gap in the literature. The present study has two main objectives in view (i) to discern the trends in land sales and land prices in post- independence Punjab; and (ii) to analyse the impact of Green Revolution on land sales and land prices.
