Q10 of 12 Page 191

Imagine yourself to be Maisaiah who received the first bhoodan land. Describe your feelings about the prayer meeting in which you got the land.

I was very happy to get the first bhoodan land by Vinobaji. It was very important for my family to own a land and earn basic needs of our family. I was tenant-at-will earlier and got evicted by my landlord and did not have any land to cultivate and life my life. It was a moment full of joy. I was thankful to Vedire Ramachandra Reddy who donated the land and to Vinobaji who started this bhoodan movement.
