Solution
The correct option is A To make sure that the land went to the actual tiller. Under land reforms floated by Nehru, the Zamindari system was abolished, land ceilings and tenancy reforms were implemented. The main aim of the reforms was to make sure that the land went to the actual tiller. The rich and powerful in the rural areas used to control most of the land and the actual tillers were landless. To eradicate this and to help the poor, land reforms were carried out.
