About the Book:

Bhoodan-Gramdan Movement is a precious chapter in the history of Independent India. Never and nowhere in the recorded history has land been collected for the landless on such a scale through moral suasion only. Contrary to popular belief, at least 2.5 million acres of Bhoodan lands have been distributed so far.
The Movement not only took up the land problem, but worked for total transformation in the countryside through the radical programme of Gramdan (Village-gift Movement).
The saga of this historical movement has been presented with lucidity and authenticity in this book. Readers will find it inspiring and illuminating.
