        BHOODAN MOVEMENT -

• The movement was launched by Acharya Vinoba Bhave.
• It was launched in 1951 at Pochampally Village (Now in Telangana).
• This movement is also known as the "Bloodless Revolution".
• The purpose of this movement was to give one acre land to each landless peasant.
• It was also believed that 50 million peasants were landless in 1951.
• The Bhoodan act stated that the beneficiary had no right to sell the land or use it for non-agricultural purposes or forestry.
• By May 1955, the movement received only 3.75 million acres of land from the landowners for the distribution and soon the movement slowed down.

        According to Vinoba Bhave, the objective of this movement is of three fold - 

        1) The power should be decentralized from village to village.

        2) Everybody should have a right on land and property.

        3) There should be no distribution in the matter of wages.
