Agricultural Land Ceiling Act

The Agricultural Land Ceiling Act is a law designed to limit the amount of agricultural land an individual or family can own. Its main goal is to prevent wealth concentration in land ownership, ensuring more equitable distribution of agricultural resources. By capping land holdings, the act aims to promote agricultural productivity, support small farmers, and reduce landlessness among rural populations. Surplus land, beyond the ceiling, can be redistributed to those who lack land, thereby encouraging fair access to farming opportunities and potentially improving rural livelihoods.
