The new farm technology has many implications for tenancy relationship, productivity and resource use patterns. The extent of landlessness and inequality in land ownership has not changed much and the incidence of tenancy has declined (Vaidyanathan, 1994). In agriculturally progressive states such as Punjab and Haryana, there was a sizable decline in the size of ownership holdings and the area owned by the bigger size groups. Thus swelling up the number of small and marginal farmers (Grewal and Rangi, 1981). The small farmers rent in land and the practice of renting land, in general, is decreasing overtime. (Rai el al, 1981). Marginal and small farmers have lost a lion's share of their holdings in the process of land transactions. (Sarap, 1995). The implications of new technology for productivity and resource use are that the proportion of rural labour force dependent on wage labour has increased steeply (Vaidyanathan, 1994). The nature and extent of irrigation and other modern inputs were the important factors shaping the character of land ownership and land distribution. (Sarap, 1995). Unrelenting demographic pressure is yet another notable factor which has been directly responsible for land distribution. (Sharma, 1994; Vaidyanathan, 1994). Due to increasing prices of land after Green Revolution purchase of land is difficult at an exorbitant rates and selling of land is socially discredited unless there is dire economic need (Bant Singh et al.1991).
