Answer: (1) 1 and 2 only
उत्तर: (1) केवल 1 और 2
Vinoba Bhave's Bhoodan aimed at a non-violent social transformation through voluntary gifts of land, and it widened into Gramdan, Sampattidan, Shramdan and similar gifts, so statements 1 and 2 are correct. It began on 18 April 1951 at Pochampalli in Nalgonda district, which was then in Hyderabad State (now Telangana); Andhra Pradesh was formed only in 1956, so the key treats statement 3 as incorrect. (Some sources differ.)
