After independence, in the agrarian sector, several land reforms were brought. Perhaps the most significant and successful of these was the abolition of the colonial system of zamindari. Attempts at consolidation of land - bringing small pieces of land together in one place so that the farm size could become for agriculture was also successful. Besides them, two other components of land reforms were also introduced which were much less successful. These were - fixing ceilings on land holdings and tenancy reforms.
