Farmers often require a copy of their land's record together with a map, as shown in the previous illustration. They have a right to this information. They may have to pay a small fee for this. However, this information is not easily made available and farmers some-times have to face many problems to get it. In some states, records are now being computerized and also kept at the Panchayat office so that they are more easily available and regularly updated. When do you think farmers may require a copy of this records? Study the following situations and identify the cases in which these records would be necessary and why?
* A farmer wants to buy a plot of land from another.
* A farmer wants to sell her produce to another.
* A farmer wants a loan from the bank to dig a well in her land.
* A farmer wants to purchase fertilizers for his field.
* A famer wants to divide his property among his children.
