Punjab Land Reforms

Punjab Land Reforms refer to a series of laws enacted in the Punjab region of India, aimed at redistributing land to improve agricultural productivity and reduce inequality. Introduced in the 1970s, these reforms set limits on the amount of land an individual could own, aimed to eliminate feudal practices, and encourage more equitable land ownership among farmers. By redistributing land, the reforms sought to empower small farmers, increase agricultural output, and promote economic development in rural areas. The impact of these reforms is still a subject of discussion in terms of their effectiveness and challenges.
