Land reforms in India

In view of the predominantly rural character of Indian Economy on one hand and of our mission of establishing egalitarian at the same dynamic Society on the other, Land Reforms constitute perhaps the single most important plank of our economic Policy. Here too Ceiling fixation is considered the central issue both for raising acre productivity as well as for ensuring viable equality in the country. It is in this light that the author of this book Dr. Sita Ram Singh ransacks the entire historical development in India's Land reforms specially during the Planning Period, king pinning the attention on the pros and cons of Ceiling fixation in a comparative context, so that the central issues connected with the problems in Bihar are judged in the proper perspective.

The book no doubt deals with the ceiling fixation issue in the State of Bihar but the treatment, the presentation and the contents of this treaties are of significance to the law makers, administrators and reformers in every state of the country and carry relevance for other developing countries similarly situated.
