Hello sir

The key features of land reform in Madhya Pradesh are:
The Madhya Pradesh Ceiling on Agricultural Holding Act 1960 puts a ceiling of 7 hectares per holding of irrigated land.

The Act provides for ceilings on landholdings only, and does not extend to tenancy reform.

The ceiling applies to both owned and tenanted land.

There is no legal ban on leasing or sharecropping.

There is no fair rent legislation; the plight of the tenant is precarious.

Madhya Pradesh has recorded considerable progress in land consolidation.
