Land Acquisition Policy in India
Abstract: Of the total 3,287,240 sq km land of India, 60 % of land is under cultivation. India has been an agriculture dominating country before the reforms. But as the economy opened up, India started developing fast. This required infrastructure development, industries, educational institutions, SEZs, etc. All of this necessitated acquisition of ‘Land’ which was under agriculture or forest. Taking away agricultural land makes farmers unhappy, and taking away forest land destroys ecology. Also many people depend on forests for their livelihood. Now the issue comes ‘how should we effectively allocate the land for agriculture, industries, and infrastructure, for inclusive growth’. Existing ‘Land Acquisition Act in India’ is not at all in congruence with India’s policy of inclusive growth. This has led to several issues in the past like Singur,Nandigram, POSCO,etc. In this paper we evaluate the ideas of some of the researchers for a good Land acquisition bill. We also present what is there in LARR,2011. The paper concludes by giving recommendations from author.

    Controversy: Arable Land And The Hot Potato

    The controversy regarding the SEZs in India has turned the issue into what is commonly known as a “hot potato”. The heated debate today is whether these SEZs are good for India or a hotbed for disaster that is going to spell long term doom for the nation. Like many things that go wrong in a nation like India, the SEZs too failed in the implementation phase. Arable land has been used to set up industries, farmers have been displaced and over a span of 40 years haven’t received their “attractive” compensation packages, nor have these industries provided employment to the displaced people, land has been bought and given by the government at throw away prices, there has been no…

    land reform memo

    Unify “different voices” towards land reform among government with vigorous argumentation and convincing documentation. Different voices towards land reform will seriously inhibit implementation of the reform, so it is important to reduce cabinet-level debates on land reform. Making vigorous argumentation will show the facts that tenants who suffer from poverty and economic insecurity comprise between 40% and 60% of the rural population, and this poor and landless population will impose a constant threat of rebellion towards the new government. Also, convincing documentation will make the cabinet believe that the concern for equity and distribution justice shall be on a par with the concern for economic productivity.…
