Haryana Land Reform Act

The Haryana Land Reform Act, enacted in 1972, aimed to improve land ownership and agricultural productivity in Haryana, India. It introduced measures to redistribute surplus land, limiting ownership to ensure small farmers could thrive. The act sought to prevent exploitation by landlords and promote equity among landholders. It also established tenancy rights, protecting farmers from arbitrary eviction and ensuring fair rents. Overall, the law aimed to create a more equitable agricultural system and support rural development by empowering small and marginal farmers in the state.
