The Bhoodan Movement(Land Gift Movement) also known as the Bloodless Revolution was a voluntary land reform movement in India.[1] It was initiated by Gandhian Acharya Vinoba Bhave[1] in 1951 at Pochampally village, which is now in Telangana, and known as Bhoodan Pochampally. The Bhoodan Movement attempted to persuade wealthy landowners to voluntarily give a percentage of their land to landless people. Philosophically, Bhave was influenced by Mahatma Gandhi's Sarvodaya movement and Gram Swarajya.Method Landless labourers were given small plots on which they were welcome to settle and grow their crops. Bhoodan Acts were passed that stated that the beneficiary had no right to sell the land or use it for non-AGRICULTURAL purposes or for forestry. For example, Section 25 of the Maharashtra State Bhoodan Act states that the beneficiary (who MUST be landless) should only use the land for subsistence cultivation. If the "owner" failed to CULTIVATE the land for over a year or tried to use it for non-agriculture activities, the government would have the right to confiscate it. Bhave wanted peasants to give up using bullocks, tractors or other machines for agricultural purposes. This was called rishi-kheti in Hindi. He also wanted the people to give up using money in the FORM of kanchan-dan. He was followed by crowds NEARLY everywhere he went.[citation needed] The movement had the support of Congress. JP Narayan withdrew from active politics to join the Bhoodan movement in 1953.Explanation:
