Bhoodan Pochampally

Bhoodan Pochampally is a census town in the Yadadri Bhuvanagiri district of the Indian state of Telangana.

[3] On 18 April 1951, the historic day of the very genesis of the Bhoodan movement, Vinoba Bhave entered the Pochampally Mandal in Nalgonda district, the center of Communist activity.

The organizers had arranged Vinoba's stay at Pochampally, a large village with about 700 families, of whom two-third were landless.

This incident which is neither planned nor imagined was the very genesis of the Bhoodan movement and it made Vinoba think that there in lay the potentiality of solving the land problem of India.

In 1999, the weaving industry of Bhoodan Pochampally came to limelight when a young weaver Chithakindhi Mallesham developed a machine for automating the time-consuming, laborious and painful Asu process of winding of yarn before the dyeing and weaving is done.
