The present analysis is concerned with Dr.B.R.Ambedkar’s philosophy regarding land reform and its relevance in present day scenario. Dr.Ambedkar stresses the need for thorough land reforms ,noting that smallness or largeness of an agricultural holding is not determined by its physical extent alone ,but the intensity of cultivation as reflected in the amounts of all other inputs used, including labour .He stresses the need for industrialization so as to move surplus labour from agriculture to other productive occupations . He also stresses extremely important role for the state in such transformation of agriculture and advocates the nationalization of land and the leasing out of land groups of cultivators ,who are to be encouraged to form co-operatives in order to promote agriculture.
