Answer:

The important objectives of land reform measures in India were:

♤ To enhance the productivity of land by improving the economic conditions of farmers.

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

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

Keeping in mind these objectives, land reform legislations touched upon these measures:

♤ Abolition of intermediaries

♤ Tenancy reforms

♤ Ceilings on holdings

♤ Consolidation of holdings

♤ Development of cooperative farming
