The components of land reforms were
(i) The first component was the abolition of the colonial system of zamindari. This act released land from the clutches of a class that had little interest in agriculture.
(ii) The attempts at consolidation of land brought small pieces of land together in one place so that farm size could become viable for agriculture.
(iii) Laws were made to put an upper limit or ceiling to how much agricultural land one person could own but people with excess land managed to evade the law.
(iv) The tenants who worked on someone else’s land were given greater legal security against eviction but this provision was rarely implemented.
