What do you understand by the policy of land to the tiller?

Solution

The policy of land to the tiller is based on the idea that the cultivators will take more interest. They have more incentive in increasing output if they are the owners of the land. The ownership of land enables the tiller to profit from the increased output. Tenants will have the incentives to make improvement on land. In the absence of onwnership there is no incentive on the part of the farmers to be efficient.
