3. Objectives of Land Reforms in India

The important objectives of land reform measures in India were:

b) To ensure distributive justice and to create an egalitarian society by eliminating all forms of exploitation.

c) To create a system of peasant proprietorship with the motto of land to the tiller.

d) To transfer the incomes of the few to many so that the demand for consumer goods would be created.
