Districts of Haryana. These districts were purposively selected because of big land traders like Haryana
Reliance SEZ Company Limited, Kundli Manesar Palwal Expressway who have already purchased a
huge quantum of land in this area. From each tehsil five villages (Dadritoe, Phasour, Palpa, Nimana,
Munimpur + Kukrola from Jhajjar and Sultanpur, Mubarkpur, Jhanjrola khera, Kaliawas, Ekbalpur from
Farukhnagar) were selected randomly and 12 farmers of land sale were selected from each village.

land during last five years i.e. from 2004-05 to 2008-09. Small groups of farmers had maximum share
of land sold as compared to medium and large groups. On an average 498.25 acres (62.53 per cent) of
land was sold to Haryana Reliance SEZ Company limited and on KMP Express way. On an average
maximum 100 farmers (45.45 per cent) sold their land to repay the debt followed by marriage of their
children 37 farmers (16.82 per cent) and house construction 5 farmers (2.27 per cent) showed the least
share. Maximum share of money was invested in purchase of agriculture land i.e. 4,003.20 lakhs (59.22
