(1) Reforms on agricultural land:-
After long study on Indian agriculture Ambedkar recognised that problems of agriculture related to farmers should be solved, in one of his article i.e. "Small Holdings in Indian and their remedies"(1917) and also in "Status and minorities"(1947) he has suggested some reforms which has included in the manifesto of the "Swatantra Majdur Paksha"and the Scheduled caste Federation. Ambedkar recognized that small subdivided and fragmented holdings of land are the major problem of Indian agriculture with affects. It has resulted in various disadvantages, and there were difficulties in cultivation and utilization of resources increasing cost, low productivity, inadequate income, Low standard of living etc. According to Dr. Ambedkar reforms on agriculture is not related only with the size of holdings but also with other factors such as capital, labour and other inputs, so the concept of "Idea of Economic holdings is very much clear". If capital labour is not available in large amount so the quality of large size holdings may become unproductive, or its productivity may be low on the other hand small sized holding becomes more productive if these resources are available in plenty. Ambedkar thoughts were also reflected in the "Land ceiling Act" which was passed after Independence.
