Abstract

In India, more than 70 percent of the rural population depends on land based activities for their live lihood. More equitable distribution of land would thus result in more employment and income for small farmers as well as contributing to the more efficient use of the available resources. Land reform is a popular slogan in the developing countries of the world. In India, Land reforms have been implemented with aim of, to eradicate the poverty, to increase the agriculture productivity, and reduce the inequality. Land reforms in India have given mixed results. Present study focuses on the land legislation systems in the colonial period, land reform legislation in independent India, and also on land holding pattern in India over the period.
