Our leaders had thought about the need for land reforms even prior to independence. For instance, the Agrarian Reforms Committee under Shri J.C.Kumarappa had given the guidelines for the formulation of land reform policies in the independent India. The committee recommended that 1.all intermediary interest should be abolished and land should belong to the tiller; 2.leasing of land should be prohibited except in case of widows, minors and other disabled persons. 3.All the tenants who had been cultivating land for a period of 6 years should be granted occupancy rights 4.The tenants should have the right to purchase the holdings at reasonable price to be determined by the land tribunal; 5.The agrarian economy should provide an opportunity for the development of the farmers.
