Assam grants land ownership to 333,000 tea workers, ending 200-year landlessness.
The Assam Legislative Assembly passed the 2025 amendment to the Fixation of Ceiling on Land Holdings Act, granting land ownership rights to over 3.33 lakh tea garden worker families across 825 estates, ending nearly 200 years of landlessness.
The law allows workers to own land in designated labor colonies, eliminating the need for permission to repair homes and protecting them from eviction if they leave tea work.
The government will transfer land from tea estates to the state for distribution, with a 20-year moratorium on sales to outsiders.
The move, hailed as a historic step by the BJP-led government and Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, aims to empower workers economically and socially, though implementation challenges remain.
