Land reforms were one of the foremost priorities of independent India. It was one of the poster boy initiatives of modern India which seek to end the years of malice under British rule. It was a bold step to dismantle the centuries old Zamindari system and ensure socio-economic justice for the poor as enshrined in the Indian Constitution. Land-reform policy in India had two specific objectives. First, to remove such impediments to increase in agricultural production as arise from the agrarian structure inherited from the past. The second objective, which is closely related to the first, is to eliminate all elements of exploitation and social injustice within the agrarian system, to provide security for the tiller of soil and assure equality of status and opportunity to all sections of the rural population.
