Land reform in Kerala

Land reform in Kerala refers to a series of legislative and administrative measures implemented to restructure the agrarian system and dismantle the centuries-old feudal Janmi-Kudiyan system in the Indian state of Kerala.

The reforms effectively ended the Janmi-Kudiyan (landlord-tenant) system, provided security of tenure to millions of cultivators, and granted ownership rights to hutment dwellers.
