Slow progress
While nearly 4.5 million acres of Bhoodan land was
available- barely 6.5 lakh acres was actually distributed
among 200,000 families (1957)
In some cases the donors took back their land from the
Bhoodan workers for certain reasons.
This created doubts in the minds of some people about
the continuity of the movement.
Bribes
village leaders, or allotting authorities, demanded money
from the poor for recommending their names for
allotment. As a result, many underserving villagers also got
land e.g those already having land/ those involved in trade-
commerce.
Greed
Bhoodan movement created land hunger among
landless.Some of them applied multiple times in the name
of wives, children etc. to get more and more free land.
Donating
bogus land
big landlords donated those land which were unfit for
cultivation (or under court litigation). Such donations
served no real purpose.
Disputed land
Sometimes Bhoodan workers would even accept
disputed land as gift. Without verification.
Later the Matter would be stuck in court litigations and
beneficiary would get nothing.
Politicization
In the later phase, Bhoodan workers got associated
with one or another political parties. Some of them
tried to use the Bhoodan organization as a means to
gain political clout and dividends at the time of
election.
Thus as the years passed, Bhoodan workers lost
credibility and respect among villagers=>land gifts
declined.
Bribes
Since Bhoodan workers became political agents, Some
landlords / Ex-Zamindars donated land as bribe to
Bhoodan workers- with hope of getting favourable
returns e.g. ticket in local election, road-contracts,
building contracts etc.

And if they (landlords) were not given such favours-
theyd forcibly take back the Bhoodan land from the
beneficiary later on.
Support
Mere allotment of land=insufficient. Because landless
farmer also needed seeds, fertilizer, irrigation etc.
Often the beneficiary couldnt arrange loans for theseinputs.
bureaucratic
apathy
District officials were slow and inefficient in finishing
the formalities of Bhoodan land transfers.
donated land remained idle for a number of years and
the revenue for it had to be paid by the donor.
Fragmentation
1. The average size of land given to beneficiary=0.5 to 3
acres.
2. Result: land fragmentation + diseconomies of scale +
disguised unemployment without any noticeable rise
in agro-production.
Marxist
Criticism
3. Bhoodans main purpose was to serve as a brake on
the revolutionary struggle of the peasants
4. Thus idea of Bhoodan= reactionary, classcollaborationist.
Missed the
bigger picture
5. Bhoodan based on Gandhian idea of trusteeship. Some
Socialists wanted this movement to realize the
potential of trusteeship and launch mass civil
disobedience against injustice.
6. The Sarvodaya Samaj, however, on the whole failed to
make this transition: to build an active large-scale mass
movement that would generate irresistible pressure
for social transformation in large parts of the country.
All these loopholes, slowly and steadily, made the movement
dysfunctional.
1999: Bihar government dissolved the State Bhoodan Committee
for its inability to distribute even half the Bhoodan land available

never realized fully.

At a later phase, this progamme was extended to other states in
Bihar, Maharashtra, Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Gramdan: Concept/Principles
1. Gramdan may be defined as an experiment in collective villageliving.
2. Original idea comes from Gandhis reply to Jamnalal Bajaj: it is
far better for a hundred families in a village to cultivate their land
collectively and divide the income therefrom than to divide the
land any how into a hundred portions.
3. Vinoba Bhave popularized ^this concept of Gandhi.
Gramdan Mechanism
The villagers have to sign a declaration saying, We are vesting the
ownership of all our land to the Gram Sabha of the village.
1. This Gram Sabha/ Village council will unanimously nominate ten
to fifteen persons who will form an executive Committee.
2. This executive Committee will be responsible for the day-to-day
administration of the village.
3. The decisions of the Committee will be ratified by the Council.
In other words, Gramdan=A Gram Sabha like institution collectively
owned and managed entire land/farms of the villagers.
Gramdan: Bene fits
1. In an ideal gramdan village, there will be no landowners, and no
absentee landlords.
2. The labourers will give all their earnings to the village community,
exam is over.

which will then distribute it according to needs.
3. Thus, gramdan acts as the ideal unit for putting the principles in
the practice, From each according to his ability, to each according
to his needs.

Limitation of Gramdan?Gramdan was successful mainly in villages
where class differentiation had not yet emerged and there was little if
any disparity in ownership of land or other property. E.g. Tribal

Pardi Satyagraha, Gujarat, 50s
WHO
1. Socialist workers: Iswarbhai Desai, Ashok Mehta.
2. Kisan Panchayat: a non-political body with no affiliation to any
political party.
3. Tribals from Pardi and Dharmpur Taluka
WHEN 1953-1967
Why?
1. 75% of the agro land was owned by 100 big landlords.
2. These landlords were not interested in farming. They kept theland as such- so grass automatically grew and sold profitably in
Bombay fodder trade.
3. Local tribals would get labour work in such fodder-farms for only
1-2 months during harvesting. They remained jobless and starving
for remaining months. While the landlords made decent profit
with almost none investment or efforts.
OBJECTIVES/FEATURES/ACTION:
Redistribution of land was not on their agenda. (Themselves
declared it)
Satyagrahi would enter in the private land and start tilling to grow
foodcrops and court arrest.
Tribals to boycott grass cutting work. even outside labour would
not be allowed do the work. Picketing. As a result, the grass dried
up at many places.
With time, movement found support from public and politicalparties
Bhoodan and Gramdan movements also started but failed thanks
to poor response from landlords.
Result? Almost #EPICFAIL because:
1. 1960, Gujarat created out of Bombay state. New state government
made some promises=>Iswarbhai and other Satyagrahi joined the

Congress party. Hence momentum/pressure was lost.
2. 1965: War between India Pakistan. The CM (Balwant Rai Mehta)
died in plane crash. New CM (Hitendra Desai) did not show much
interest in fulfilling promises made by previous CM.
3. Landlords went to Gujarat Highcourt court. Although HC rejected
their plea, but state government did not show any urgency to
implement the agreements.4. 1966: Ishwarbhai Desai decide to quit congress and launch a new
Satyagraha, but he died. And others were unable to provide
effective leadership/direction to the movement.
5. 1967: A new agreement between the government, the landlords
and the Satyagrahis. But the implementation carried out at a
snails pace.
Great Land Struggle, 1970s
WHEN 1970s
WHO?
Bhartiya Khet Mazdoor Union, All India Kisan Sabha and
Communist Party of India
Nearly 15 lakh agricultural workers, poor peasants, the tribals,
workers and the poor from the towns
Trade unions and students, the youth and the womens
organizations came forward and directly participated in the
struggle.
TYPE militant mass movement
WHY?
to highlight the fact that land is concentrated in the hands of a few
landlords, former princess, zamindars and monopolists and to
alert public attention to the urgent need for radical agrarian
reforms.
OBJECTIVES/ACTIONS

OUTCOMES
1. While Bhoodan movement silently faded away from public
memory and political arena silently, but the great land Satyagraha,
created ripples in the public mind and ruling party.
2. Before the land struggle, the Union and the state governmentsnever felt the urgency of solving the land problem. But now, Every
state government came out with figures & plans to distribute
wasteland among the poor.
3. For the first time, land distribution started in actual practice, and
some landless people got Pattas of land.
4. Birlas were exposed as the biggest land grabber of India. Their
farms in Uttaranchal and Punjab were distributed to farm
labourers.5. Government appointed Central Land Reform Committee to

1. Earlier we saw how rich farmers in Tamilnadu transfereed their
land to fake trusts/charitable organizations/ schools, hospitals
and dharrnashalas to avoid land ceiling.
2. LAFTI organized people against such illegal holdings and pleaded
government to takeover such land and redistribute it among the
landless poor.
3. Highlighted the loopholes in the land related acts. LAFTI
petitioned the President of India about the weaknesses in the
Benami transection ordinance and how landlords evaded ceilings.
4. Negotiated with banks and landlords for a reasonable price for
the purchase of land. And then redistributed it among landless.
5. Generally, the nationalized bank charged a high rate of interest
(14%) for offering loan for the land transfer projects. LAFTI
appealed to the government of India to reduce interest rate to 4%.
6. Requested government to waive stamp-duty and registration fees
for transferring land to landless.
7. Started its own banking scheme, titled LAFTI Land Bank, by
involving 10000 landless families. These 10000 people deposited.
Re. 1 per day or Rs. 10 per week or Rs. 500 per year for five years.
8. With this money and help from the government in the form of
exemption of stamp duties and registration fees, LAFTI planned to
transfer 500 acres of land per year to the landless families.
Land Satyagraha, Chattisgarh, late 80s
CAUSES/REASONS:
1. Land ceiling act were not implemented because nexus between
the land mafia, landlords, bureaucrats, politicians.
2. Under governments land distribution schemes- the landless were
provided with Pattas (land ownership document) but landmafias /
rich farmers / forest contractors did not allow them to physicallyoccupy the land.
3. State Government made it mandatory for all the landlords to give
back tribal land to the tribals. But these landlords would appeal in
higher courts and matter kept pending for years.
4. The tribals lacked the money and means to fight such legal
battles. State government didnt come to their help.
5. Most of the landless were SC/ST. They were forcibly pushed out of

their ancestral land, working as bonded labour because of
indebtedness to the rich landlords or village traders.
6. By 1980s, there were 4000 bonded labourers in Raipur district

PROGRESS/RESULT:

Peasants would court arrest and go to jail in a

At almost all the places, the poor, landless, and
small farmers went in large numbers with their
ploughs and bullocks, to register their claim over
the ancestral land.
At some places people were able to register their
control over the land, whereas in other places theofficial, in connivance with the landlords and the
powerful politician, forcibly dispossessed the
people from the land.
The land Satyagraha initiated a new dimension, a new movement,
among the people to take control over their resources.

Bhu-Adhikar Abhiyan, MP, 1996
Ekta Parishad is an NGO from Madhya Pradesh (1984). On principles
of Samvad, Sangharsh, Rachna (dialogue, struggle and construction).
They conducted survey in MP and found two main problems faced by
SC/ST:
1. Land belonging to Scheduled tribe was illegally sold to outsiders
thanks to land mafia, forest contractors and corrupt bureaucrats.
2. Non Occupant Patta Holder leased their land poor farmers
(occupant cultivators) and exploited them via high rent and
random eviction.
Ekta Parishad has launched a peoples movement with the following
objectives.
3. Give Patta (land ownership document) to occupant cultivators.
4. To oppose the policy of inviting tenders from private companies,
instead of giving land to the landless.
5. To enforce joint ownership of husband and wife on the property.
(recall the lack of gender equity in land ownership)
6. Scrap the afforestation programmes funded by the World Bank.
Because the money was misused.
7. To resolve the problems of settlement of revenue land.
Result? Government appointed a Committee but it was meaningless
eyewash.
Janadesh, 2007
By Ekta Parishad and sister organization / civil society / NGOs

been deprived of their land rights, marched from Gwalior to Delhi
