The initial objective of the movement started by Vinoba Bhave was to secure voluntary donations of land and distribute it to the landless , but the movement soon came out with a demand of 1/6 share of land from all landowners. In 1952, the movement had widened the concept of gram dan (a village in gift) and had started advocating commercial ownership of land. The first village to come under gram dan was Mangroth in Hamirpur Dist of U.P. However, many land-owners chose to provide some part of their land to the poor farmers due to the fear of the land ceiling act. This Bhoodan-Gramdan movement initiated by Vinobha Bhave is also known as the Bloodless Revolution.
