Solution

The correct option is C Operation Barga
To protect the interests of the Bargadars and to provide some security against eviction by the landlords, the Left Front government launched Operation Barga in 1978. The idea was to protect the interests of the actual tillers of the land, not only those of the owners. Operation Barga aimed to record the names of the Bargadars, who formed a majority of the agrarian population in West Bengal and to educate them about their rights associated with the land they cultivated. It depended heavily on collective action by the Bargadars and Panchayati Raj institutions and avoided the delay from the administration and domination of landlords.
