Explanation

The Bhoodan Movement, launched by Acharya Vinoba Bhave on April 18, 1951, originated in Pochampally village, located in the Nalgonda district of then Andhra Pradesh (now Telangana) [3]. The movement was fundamentally rooted in Gandhian principles of Sarvodaya, aiming to establish a non-violent society through voluntary land redistribution and social transformation [2]. As the movement evolved, it expanded beyond land gifts (Bhoodan) to include other forms of voluntary contribution such as 'Sampattidan' (gift of wealth), 'Shramdan' (gift of labor), and 'Gramdan' (gift of entire villages) [2]. These schemes were designed to eliminate socio-economic inequalities and foster communal ownership without state coercion [1]. Since the movement was non-violent, included schemes like Sampattidan and Shramdan, and began in Andhra Pradesh in 1951, all three statements are correct.
