Agricultural Land (Ceiling on Holdings) Act

The Agricultural Land (Ceiling on Holdings) Act is a law designed to regulate land ownership in agriculture. Its main purpose is to prevent any individual or family from owning excessively large tracts of agricultural land, ensuring that land resources are distributed more equitably. By setting a ceiling on the amount of land one can hold, the Act aims to promote smaller farms, enhance agricultural productivity, and reduce rural poverty. It also seeks to prevent land monopolies, fostering a more balanced rural economy and supporting the livelihoods of more farmers.
