Land Ceiling Act

The Land Ceiling Act is a law designed to limit the amount of agricultural land an individual or entity can own. Its purpose is to promote equitable distribution of land, reduce land concentration among a few, and ensure access for small farmers. By setting maximum land ownership limits, the act aims to prevent wealth disparities in rural areas and enhance agricultural productivity. Excess land is acquired by the government and redistributed to landless farmers or used for development purposes, thereby supporting social justice and economic development in the agricultural sector.
