Explanation:

The first important land reform legislation was the abolition of the zamindari system, which removed the layer of intermediaries that stood between the cultivators and the state. Among the other major land reform laws that were introduced were the tenancy abolition and regulation acts. They attempted either to outlaw tenancy altogether or to regulate rents to give some security to the tenants. The third major category of land reform laws were the Land Ceiling Acts. These laws imposed an upper limit on the amount of land that can be owned by a particular family.
