Bihar Land Reforms Act

The Bihar Land Reforms Act aims to redistribute land to promote equitable ownership and reduce feudal control. It limits landholdings to a prescribed size, prohibiting large landlords from hoarding excessive land and redistributing excess to landless or small farmers. The Act also enforces land ceilings, consolidates fragmented land holdings, and restricts transfer of land to non-farmers, thereby improving land access for small farmers. Its primary goal is to promote social justice, prevent land concentration, and foster rural development by making land more accessible and equitable.
