This article examines and compares the status of land rights and their impacts on agricultural productivity, food security and well-being in a set of tribal and non-tribal villages in Telangana. Based on an intensive field survey, the research confirms that tribals without formal land rights remain largely unable to benefit from government support and access to private institutions in terms of getting credit and farm extension, whereas in non-tribal villages, government organisations are pro-active in providing such support. These findings confirm the need to increase the effectiveness of land rights and title documentation in India’s tribal villages to protect local people’s investments in land, enhance agricultural productivity and strengthen the long-term effectiveness of government programmes, which include avoidance of migration to the big cities.

特兰加纳部落和非部落农民的土地权利和粮食安全促进

本文研究并比较了 Telangana 一组部落和非部落村庄的土地权状况及其对农业生产力、粮食安全和福祉的影响。根据密集的实地调查，该研究证实，没有正式土地权利的部落在获得信贷和农场扩展方面仍然基本上无法从政府支持和获得私人机构的机会中受益，而在非部落村庄，政府组织则支持积极提供此类支持。这些调查结果证实，需要提高印度部落村庄土地权利和所有权文件的有效性，以保护当地人民对土地的投资，提高农业生产力并加强政府计划的长期有效性，
