Solution.

Answer: (a) The target was to get one-sixth of cultivable land in India as donation

  1. Vinoba Bhave sought voluntary land gifts for redistribution to the landless, asking landowners to regard a landless person as a sixth member of the family and donate a corresponding share.
  2. The movement began at Pochampally in 1951, not Bihar.
  3. It was a voluntary social movement, and donated land was not invariably free of disputes.
