How did the West Bengal Land Reforms (Amendment) Act, 1966 (West Bengal Act 11 of 1966) affect land ownership in West Bengal?
The West Bengal Land Reforms (Amendment) Act, 1966 (West Bengal Act 11 of 1966) brought about several changes in land ownership in West Bengal. Some of these amendments included:

1. Limiting the amount of land that a single individual or family could own, thereby reducing concentration of land holdings and promoting more equitable distribution of land resources.
2. Implementing tenancy reforms, providing better security of tenure for sharecroppers and ensuring they received a fair share of the crop yield.
3. Introducing ceilings on landholdings, requiring owners to distribute surplus land to landless laborers or small farmers who were in need of more land to support themselves and their families.
4. Providing government assistance for agricultural development, including subsidies for seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs, as well as credit facilities for farmers.
5. Establishing a system of cooperative farming, where groups of farmers could work together on larger parcels of land, pooling resources and knowledge to improve productivity.
