Bhoodan Movement

The Bhoodan movement, or the Land Donation movement or the Bloodless Revolution was a land reform campaign in India. It was established in 1951 in the village of Pochampally by Gandhian Vinoba Bhave. The Bhoodan movement made an effort to convince rich landowners to voluntarily donate a portion of their property to others who were without land. Bhave's philosophy was influenced by the Gram Swarajya and Sarvodaya movements.

Background:

• It was a socio-political movement started by Vinoba Bhave in 1951 in India.
• Vinoba Bhave was a disciple of Mahatma Gandhi who chose him as the first individual Satyagrahi and had actively participated in India's Freedom Struggle.
• After independence, he realized that the issue of landlessness was a major problem faced by rural India and in 1951, he started the Bhoodan Movement of Land Gift Movement.

Objectives:

• It aimed to persuade wealthy landowners to donate a portion of their land to landless peasants.
• The movement gained momentum when Bhave walked from village to village, requesting landowners to donate their land.
• Bhave's approach was rooted in the philosophy of non-violence and the idea that the landowners should donate their land out of compassion and empathy for the poor.

Developements:

• The Sarvodya Samaj of Vinoba Bhave adopted the Gandhian philosophy. They relied on non-violent social revolution in the Bhoodan movement. The Vinoba Bhave and his group of supporters walked across the villages asking the wealthy landowners to give up a sixth of their property as bhoodan to be distributed to the landless. 
• Despite the movement's claims to independence, it had the Congress party's backing. The Congressmen had been persuaded to support the movement by the All India Congress Committee.
• The Bhoodan Movement included a number of initiatives that involved giving away land to individuals, as well as immensely helpful programmes like Sampattidan (Wealth-gift) and Shramdan (Labour-gift). The movement was extensively covered in Britain, and many of its concepts were adopted by the nation's policies and programmes.
• In the Telangana region of Andhra, in the village of Pochampali, Vinoba Bhave began his Bhoodan experiment. Telangana was chosen, which was noteworthy because the Communist Party of India led armed peasant insurrection there was still being felt today. 
• After experiencing significant success in Andhra, the movement turned its attention to the nation's north. Bihar and Uttar Pradesh experimented with Bhoodan in the north. This movement was very successful in its early years at receiving and distributing gifts of land. 
• At first, V. Ramachandra Reddy volunteered to donate 100 acres of his 3,500 acres of land. Eventually, he gave out an extra 800 acres. He embraced social change. His sons assisted the Bhoodan trust movement, which continued the land gift effort after him. The Bhoodan movement also received 14,000 acres of private land from Mir Osman Ali Khan, the seventh Nizam of Hyderabad.
• The Bhoodan effort received donations of 102,001 acres from other landowners, including Raja Bahadur Giriwar Narayan Singh and Raja of Ranka, making it the greatest donation in Indian history.
• Kamakhya Maharaj Narain Singh Bahadur of Ramgarh Raj made the largest donation of any kind with a donation of 200,000 acres of land.
