Abstract
The topic of Land Acquisition is a controversial one. This issue has been a hot topic in the area of public policy of post- independent India. Despite its existing from the era of pre-independence, this issue has been receiving increased attention in the past few years. The Land Acquisition Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 was introduced to replace the old act of 1894.
There are many definitions of the term “land acquisition”. They vary widely from one to the other. But in general sense of the term, Land Acquisition is nothing but the process by which the sovereign government acquires land from the private individuals which does not amount to a purchase. The reason for such acquisition might vary, from urbanisation, industrialisation to development of essential infrastructure and facilities.
Since land is a major source of livelihood in India, therefore the government’s role in land acquisition has been faced with several controversies. Such as in Singur, Yamuna Expressway, Noidahas, etc has seen unrest in face of forceful taking away of the land.
