India is said to be an agricultural economy though it is now no more fully true, yet about 70 per cent of India’s population still live in rural areas. The major portion of this population is poor. It requires rapid land reforms meaning a ceiling on landholdings and distribution of excess land among the landless.
The holding must at least be of a size that a family cultivating it to normal standards is able to maintain itself on the yield. Even today, the large majority of holdings in the country are below such a size, which is largely the cause of the poverty and underemployment in rural areas. Any realistic land policy will help in achieving the twin objectives of alleviating poverty by creating employment and increase in production.
Providing the basic amenities in rural areas such as roads, drinking water, schools, medical help, credit supply (banks) and marketing facilities and so on is must. All these will create employment opportunities in rural areas and shall help in reducing poverty.
There will be an indirect benefit also. It will decrease the drift of people from rural to urban areas. After independence governments (central and state both) have launched many schemes and programmes for the overall development of the country.
