How did these acts help in reducing disparities in land holdings and promoting social equity?
The acts listed helped in reducing disparities in land holdings and promoting social equity by establishing ceilings on land ownership, distributing surplus land to the landless, abolishing intermediary tenures, and implementing various other measures aimed at reforming land ownership patterns. These legislations were designed to ensure that land was more evenly distributed among the population, reducing the concentration of land in the hands of a few individuals or families, and providing more equitable access to land for farming, livelihood, and overall economic development. The acts also sought to protect the rights of tenants and other weaker sections of society who were often exploited by landlords under previous systems of land ownership and management.
