Are there specific conversions for agricultural land measurements?

The most commonly used units for measuring agricultural land in India are hectares, acres, gunthas and bighas. One hectare equals 10,000 square meters or about 2.47 acres. Hectares are typically used for large farms. Bigha and guntha are traditional units used for smaller land parcels, especially in rural areas. One bigha equals five gunthas or around one-third of an acre.

One guntha is a smaller unit equal to 121 square yards or approximately 1/100th of a hectare. Other traditional units like kattha, grounds and ankanam are also used in some regions of India. Converting between these units is common when standardising agricultural land measurements across different states and areas.
