Correct Answer :

Option B

Vinoba Bhave

Solution :

The correct answer is Vinoba Bhave.

Detailed Explanation:
The Bhoodan-Gramdan movement, also known as the Land Gift Movement, was a voluntary land reform movement in India initiated by Acharya Vinoba Bhave in April 1951 at Pochampally village (currently in Telangana).
Vinoba Bhave was a spiritual successor and disciple of Mahatma Gandhi. He started this movement to resolve the problems of landless peasants through peaceful and voluntary means, reflecting Gandhian principles of Sarvodaya (progress for all) and trusteeship.
Wealthy landowners were persuaded to voluntarily donate a portion of their land to landless laborers (Bhoodan). Later, the movement expanded into Gramdan, where villagers collectively donated their entire village land for redistribution and cooperative management.
