Question 63 Explanation:
To realize the objectives of land reforms, the government took three main steps which had many internal sub-steps:
* Abolition of Intermediaries Under this step, the age-old exploitative land tenure systems of the Zamindari, Mahalwari and Ryotwari were fully abolished.
* Tenancy Reforms Under this broader step, three inter-related reforms protecting the land tenants were effected:
o Regulation of rent so that a fixed and rational rate of rent could be paid by the share-croppers to the land owners;
o Security of tenure so that a share-cropper could feel secure about his future income and his economic security;
o Ownership rights to tenants so that the landless masses (i.e., the tenants, the share-croppers) could get the final rights for the land they plough-"land to the tillers".
* Reorganization of Agriculture This step again has many inter-related and highly logical provisions in the direction of rational agrarian reforms:
Redistribution of land among the landless poor masses after promulgating timely ceiling laws-the move failed badly with few exceptions, such as West Bengal, Kerala and partially in Andhra Pradesh.
Consolidation of land could only succeed in the regions of the Green Revolution (i.e., Haryana, Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh) and remained marred with many loopholes and corruption.
Cooperative farming, which has a high socio-economic moral base, was only used by the big farmers to save their lands from the draconian ceiling laws. "
