The Department of Land Resources in the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, have taken major initiatives in the field of land management, computerization of land records, digitization of maps, etc. Land reforms were visualized as important pillar of a strong and prosperous country. India’s first several five-year plans allocated substantial budgetary amounts for the implementation of land reforms. A degree of success was even registered in certain regions and states, especially with regard to issues such as the abolition of intermediaries, protection to tenants, rationalization of different tenure systems, and the imposition of ceilings on landholdings.
