Q. The Agrarian Reforms Committee under the chairmanship of Shri J C Kumarappa in 1949 was related to which of the following?
Answer: Cooperative Farming
Notes: Congress Agriculture Improvement Committee was formed in 1949 under the chairmanship of J.C. Kumarappa. The committee was appointed by the Indian National Congress to look into land issues after independence. The committee's report recommended comprehensive agrarian reform measures. The reforms aimed to eliminate landlordism by redistributing land to landless peasants. The reforms also included tenancy reforms to protect tenants' rights.  The committee recommended that landlords could retain a maximum of three times the economic holding, which was enough to support a family. By 1961-62, all state governments had passed land ceiling acts. The ceiling limits varied from state to state.  The committee's recommendations were given importance by the state government. All legislation passed by the state legislature since 1951 for land reforms reflected the recommendations.
