Explanation:
Jammu and Kashmir was the first Indian state to pass a Land Ceiling Act in the late 1950s or early 1960s. While other states implemented these laws around the same period, Kashmir’s Act was the initial legislation setting a maximum limit on land holdings within the state.  Kerala was a pioneer in implementing its own comprehensive Land Reforms Act in 1963 that established a ceiling area for land ownership and was significantly amended and enforced from 1970, which was a landmark event in land reform history.
