Methodology	In States having comprehensive land records, information was collected on complete enumeration basis for all villages by retabulation method from the land records in respect of data on number and area of operational holdings. For collection of data on other characteristics, namely, tenure and tenancy, leased in area, land use, irrigation, area under different crops, etc., 20 percent of the villages selected randomly from each tehsil constituted the basis. In these 20 percent villages, information All India Report on Agriculture Census 2010-11 17 relating to the above characteristics were compiled from the relevant Khatauni and Khasra registers in respect of all the resident cultivators. Resident cultivators of urban areas were also covered. These 20 percent villages were the same as selected under TRS In most of the States in India, a fairly comprehensive system of land records consisting of various village forms and registers giving detailed information, on land and its utilisation exists. The current Agricultural statistics, particularly those in respect of cropwise area of individual fields, are collected and cropwise abstracts prepared for the village as a whole for each cropping season. These data are then aggregated at successive levels like Patwari circle to revenue inspector circle, to tehsil, district, State and all-India levels. In Agriculture Census, the data available in the village land records, is required to be retabulated for generating information on the holdings. The procedure adopted for retabulation of data in States where retabulation approach is adopted, differs from State to State depending on the land records system followed. By and large, the Patwari consults the Khasra register and notes down the name of the cultivator against each Khasra number and places together the survey number/sub-survey numbers cultivated by the same cultivator. Some of the other existing land records like Khatauni are also used in preparing the list of cultivators. The names of cultivators not owning but operating the land are added with the help of Khasra register.
