The Maharashtra government has decided to extend the Salokha scheme by two years to effectively resolve farmland disputes in the state. The scheme, which was initially launched in 2017, aims to settle disputes related to ownership and possession of farmland. By extending the scheme, the government hopes to provide a mechanism for farmers to resolve disputes amicably and avoid prolonged legal battles. Under the Salokha scheme, farmers can submit their grievances to the revenue department, which then conducts an inquiry and facilitates a resolution. This extension comes as a relief to many farmers in Maharashtra who have been embroiled in land disputes for years. The government’s decision to prolong the scheme demonstrates its commitment to addressing the challenges faced by farmers and promoting harmonious land relations in the state. The Salokha scheme has been instrumental in bringing about quick and fair resolutions to land disputes, thereby reducing the burden on the legal system. With this extension, more farmers are expected to benefit from the scheme and experience a smoother process of resolving farmland disputes. The move is likely to have a positive impact on agricultural productivity and overall rural development in Maharashtra.
