The state of implementation of land reforms has been examined in the report submitted by Shri Ameer Raza, Joint Secretary Planning Commisiion in February 1965.

Vinoba Bhave wanted peasants to give up using bullocks or tractore or other machines for agriculture purpose. This was called 'Rishi-Kheti'.

Vinoba Bhave was directely influenced by the Sarvodaya Movement of Gandhi of whose he was the spiritual heir.

The Government of various provinces, passed Bhoodan Act which generally stipulated that the beneficiary had no right to sell the land or use it for a non-agricultural purpose- including forestry.

Under Bhoodan movement Vinoba Bhave walked across India on foot. He wanted everybody to give up using money, this was called 'Kanchan-dan'.

Bhoodan Movement was started by Acharya Vinoba Bhave in 1951 at Pochampally village in telangana. Which is now known as Bhoodan Pochampally.

Under Section 25 of Maharashtra State Bhoodan Act, the beneficiary should use the land for agriculture cultivation to secure his own and family's daily bread. If he/she fails to cultivate the land for over a year or tries to use it for some other non-agriculture activities, the government has the right to confiscate it.
