Answer 1

Hint: This was one of the most important land reforms which came into the system with the help of our ex-vise president of India B.D Jatti. Through the committee certain recommendations were made.

Complete answer:
With the help of this land reform the people got benefited but the people who benefited the most were the wealthy people. According to this law, they would get 116 acres of dry land and 27 acres of irrigation land.

Land reform involves changes in the law, regulation, or custom of land ownership. Land reform usually consists of the government-backed property which would be redistributed to the people. It would usually consist of agricultural land. The land reform was brought in by the government so that the people who have excessive land and people who have small farms can be brought to parity. The resources of such land can be used to the fullest and due to which it would give us a better outcome.

Main objective of land reform was: -
1. Redistribute the land so that it is not in the hand of few people
2. Reduce poverty in the society
3. Remove intermediaries.
4. Increase efficiency in agriculture productivity.

According to B.D Jatti, the people should receive almost 116 acres of dry land and 27 acres of irrigation land on which they could do their farming easily and that would lead to more productivity.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.

Note:
This reform was not that beneficial for society as only the wealthy people were able to get the benefit and it was proposed in 1955 but was implemented in1957.
