Abstract

The paper tries to bring out the prospects and challenges and the whole review and picture of the land reforms system in India. In India, land reforms have a long history that dates back to the country's war for independence. The unequal allocation of lands shocked our nation's authorities. God gave us the land as a gift; it is a component of nature. No one has the ability to disperse either air or water. Vinoba Bhave claimed that since land is God's property, it must be divided equally.
