PROF. M. RAMADASS : Hon. Speaker, Sir, this question relates to consolidation of holdings in India. Consolidation of holdings is a very important measure for improving productivity and efficiency in agriculture. Now, we are not able to improve productivity because our land sizes are fragmented. They are of small sizes and scattered.

MR. SPEAKER: What is your question?

PROF. M. RAMADASS : I would like to know from the hon. Minister the status of sub-division and fragmentation of land holdings in the country.

MR. SPEAKER: You should put a separate Question for that. This does not come under this Question.

PROF. M. RAMADASS : No, Sir. I am only asking a question in connection with consolidation of land holdings. I would like to know the status of sub-division and fragmentation. If it is to the detriment of the interest of agriculture, why should the Central Government not think of consolidation of holdings?
