Answers
A committee, under the Chairmanship of J. C. Kumarappan was appointed to look into the problem of land. The Kumarappa Committee's report recommended comprehensive agrarian reform measures.
The Land Reforms of the independent India had four components:
The Abolition of the Intermediaries
Tenancy Reforms
Fixing Ceilings on Landholdings
Consolidation of Landholdings.
These were taken in phases because of the need to establish a political will for their wider acceptance of these reforms.
Abolition of the Intermediaries
Abolition of the zamindari system: The first important legislation was the abolition of the zamindari system, which removed the layer of intermediaries who stood between the cultivators and the state.
The reform was relatively the most effective than the other reforms, for in most areas it succeeded in taking away the superior rights of the zamindars over the land and weakening their economic and political power.
The reform was made to strengthen the actual landholders, the cultivators.
Advantages: The abolition of intermediaries made almost 2 crore tenants the owners of the land they cultivated.
