Vinoba Bhave was declared as Mahatma Gandhi's spiritual heir.
He participated in Satyagraha and was a follower of Gandhi's concept of gram swarajya.
After Gandhi's death, Vinoba Bhave undertook a padyatra to spread Gandhi's message across India.
In Pochampalli , some poor landless villagers demanded land for their economic well-being, and Vinoba Bhave suggested cooperative farming to the government as a solution.
Shri Ram Chandra Reddy stood up and offered 80 acres of land to be distributed among 80 landless villagers, which was known as 'Bhoodan'.
Later, Vinoba Bhave traveled and introduced his ideas widely all over India, and some zamindars offered to distribute some villages among the landless, known as Gramdan.
This movement initiated by Vinoba Bhave is known as the Bhoodan-Gramdan movement or the Blood-less Revolution.
