The Bhoodan Movement or Land Gift Movement, was a voluntary land reform movement in India, started by Acharya Vinoba Bhave in 1951 at Pochampally village, which is now in Telangana, India, and known as Bhoodan Pochampally.

The mission of the movement was to persuade wealthy landowners to voluntarily give a percentage of their land to the landless people. The governments of various provinces passed Bhoodan Acts, which generally stipulated that the beneficiary had no right to sell the land or use it for a non-agricultural purpose, including forestry.
