Bhoodan – Gramdan:
Vinoba Bhave undertook padyatra to spread Gandhiji’s message covered almost the entire country.
Once, when he was delivering a lecture at Pochampalli in Andhra Pradesh, some poor landless villagers demanded some land for their economic well-being.
Vinoba Bhave could not promise it to them immediately but assured them to talk to the Government of India regarding provision of land for them if they undertook cooperative farming.
Suddenly, Shri Ram Chandra Reddy stood up and offered 80 acres of land to be distributed among 80 lands-less villagers.
This act was known as ‘Bhoodan’.
Later he travelled and introduced his ideas widely all over India.
Some zamindars, owners of many villages offered to distribute some villages among the landless. It was known as Gramdan.
However, many land-owners chose to provide some part of their land to the poor farmers due to the fear of land ceiling act.
This Bhoodan-Gramdan movement initiated by Vinoba Bhave is also known as the Blood-less Revolution.
