Land Acquisition Bill is a set of rules,initiatives and procedure regarding the acquiring of a land by Center or State govt. of India for the infra-structure & Economic Growth.
Major Changes in Bill
| Basis | Previously Planned | Govt.’s Purposal | Farmer’s Suggestion
|
| 1.Acquring | The Bill originally purposed by UPA govt. said that before acquiring a land it is mandatory to get assurance from at least 70% of people in rural area & 80% in urban area respect. | Which is now NDA's govt. has totally omitted from the bill, Instead of this the govt. assuring that the farmer can go to the court and file a petition against it with easy procedure and the new thing is this that one family member will get a govt. job and No agricultural Land will be acquired by govt. and also that the area beyond 1 kilometer of highway will not be acquired by govt. | Farmers wants that Govt. instead of acquiring a land should take on lease and pending projects should be restart with viewing it's feasibility. |
| 2.Rehabilitation | Rehabilitation should be there. | Govt. says that farmers are Rehabilitated but the reality is there is a lot of work need to be done. | Major Indian infrastructure projects such as the Yamuna Expressway where a lot of money was invested but the vast community is far behind from this infrastructure growth. |
| 3.Transparency | Transparency should be there. | Promises are made. | The Ground Reality is this that involvement of political pressure ,dealers ,ministers makes the transparency invisible. |
| 4.Fair Compensation | Fair Compensation should be there. | Govt. says Fair Compensation has been given to Farmers. | Where as in the recent Greater Noida Project Case , farmers are not accepting the compensation but forcefully SC orders that farmers need to take this compensation because a lot of investment already has been done. So SC stays with Allahabad High Court Orders. |
| 5.Resettelment | Resettlement should be there. | Govt. says that work has been done in this context. | Major Indian Infrastructure Projects like Yamuna Expressway ,Greater Noida Project tells a different story. |
| 6.Lengthy Court Procedure | Should be simple ,less costly ,time saving | Govt. says that they are working On | A lot of pressure in this case impact the judgment like happen in Greater Noida Project Case. |
