Statement of Objects and reasons. - The Madhya Pradesh Bhoodan Yagna Adhiniyam, 1968 (No. 28 of 1968), was enacted to consolidate and amend the law relating to the donation of lands for the Bhoodan Yagna initiated by Shri Acharya Vinoba Bhave, distribution of such land among landless poor persons and for community purposes. Now it is realised that the Board is neither receiving any land by way of donation nor distributing any land. The grant given by the State Government to the Board is being spent towards establishment expenses only. Hence no useful purpose will be served if the Board is allowed to continue.
