A study on bhoodan and gramdan movement in India
Authors
Dr. Krishan Singh
Abstract
This study examines
the Bhoodan and Gramdan movements in India. Three-quarters of the people who
own at least half of the land must transfer ownership to the village, but they
retain hereditary rights to the majority of their land and must surrender only
five percent to the landless. With this significant concession to private
property and inequality, the movement regained steam, particularly after 1965.
Soon block-dans and district-dans, the majority of villages within a block or
district pledging in gramdan, were announced. This phase of the movement
reached its zenith in October 1969 with the declaration of Bihar, the first
"gift" state. Therefore, the study focuses on Bhoodan and Gramdan in
numerous Indian states.
