नियोजन आयोगाने सहकारी संस्थांच्या कामाची पहाणी करण्यासाठी नेमलेल्या निजलिंगप्पा समितीचे सर्वात महत्त्वाचे निरीक्षण कोणते ?
(1) शेतीचे अधिक शास्त्रीय पद्धतीने नियोजन केले गेले.
(2) विक्रीयोग्य अधिशेष प्राप्त झाला.
(3) जमिनीचे व्यवहार्य तुकडे यशस्वीपणे एकत्रित केले गेले.
(4) कायद्यापासून पळवाट काढण्यासाठी एकाच कुटुंबातील सभासदांनी सहकारी संस्था निर्माण केल्या.

The correct answer is Option D (Cooperative societies were formed by the members of the same family to evade laws.).

Key Points:
• The Nijalingappa Committee (Committee on Cooperative Farming) was appointed by the Planning Commission of India to evaluate the working and progress of cooperative farming societies.
• A major critical observation made by the committee was that cooperative farming societies often failed to achieve true cooperative spirit because landlords and powerful families formed bogus or nominal cooperative societies among family members primarily to evade land ceiling laws and retain control over large landholdings.
• This structural loophole highlighted how legislation intended to help small farmers was manipulated.
• Therefore, option (4) represents the major critical observation of the Nijalingappa Committee.
• Key Takeaway: Nijalingappa Committee observed that families formed bogus cooperative societies to evade land ceiling laws.
