It is unfortunate that the illiterate leaders do not know the catch.Prior to independence Government had given a large chunk of land which was called SHAMLTI LAND Or Common owned land which could be used by the villagers as they wished and mostly used for the purpose of grass land for the animals of the village.This land was handed over to Gram Panchayat which was sold/allotted unauthorisedly by the Gram Sarpanch,or Politicians or officials of the Government or encroached by illegal force.In capital see the land records and locate such land and it will be an eye opener.It was the biggest BLACK MONEY SPINNER.This corrupted tyhe Sarpanch and fearing disclosure he allotted some land to the said to be poor which was again sold to the land mafia at a cheap cost.A land Record of village CHATTERPUR in south Delhi will open the eyes of even a Blindman.Whole of Andheria Mod was illegally allotted and then sold.
The best remedy is to change conversion trick by the Government and declare all land as N/A land and then assess the price.The difference of agriculture and Non agriculture land touching each other may have Price difference of upto 10 times.It is the trick both the land mafia as well as Revenue Dept play and charge upto 4 lacs per acre in bribe for issuing N/A status to land. Most of the circle rates are fixed for agriculture land which is low. THIS IS THE REASON GOVERNMENT WANTS TO ACQUIRE AGRICULTURE LAND. JAGO AUR CHORON SE BACHO.MAKE A COMMON RATE OF LAND AND SPECIFY USE.
The amendments to the original act are shocking and leaves an impression that govt is acting as an agent on behalf of capitalists in the country.
No one is against industrialisation, building of educational institutes, hospitals etc. But my simple question is if some one wants to build something for public cause that entity should approach the land owner. What role govt has in this.
Except for irrigation, power, railway and similar infrastructural project, defence, national security no land should be acquired without adequate compensation and conset of the majority of land owners. Some other mechanism needs to be found out so that a pvt entity can buy land quickly without having to go through arduous process of land aquisition.

Dear Girish, if you accept that farming is not profitable and if more number of farmers need to be gleaned away from farming and converted in to industrial workers then this law is the only way. Buying from marginal land owners is not a feasible option because it is not possible to collect in small pieces. Even if a few land owners refuse then the entire industrial project suffers. Then there are lot vested interests who shall blackmail the industrialists and discourage the landowners.
Many a time citizens do not know what is good for them. It is only when the good results of a action flow they understand it.

Dombivli 666 acre of land is aquired by MIDC from Azde village Golavli village Davdi village but they forget that creation of job is less as we expect the industry to grow like this the acquisition of land is job opportunity for villagers is true but at snail speed and much damage to environment
How many Member of Parliament, Netas have given land for development of infrastructure or whatever the reasons government is citing. Why government can not use barren lands. Why they are not developing infrastructure in deserts. Why Government is asking asking farmer to give land. One member of dependent family of farmer should be given government job as a compensation or Government should give pension to the farmer for whole life and family pension as well. Free education and free health insurance to all family members of farmer

The farmer land does not mean he is cultivating that land. It is his land but under agriculture category. In villages everybody has land so it does not have much value because nobody want to buy land. but when some gov/ private agency comes to buy land for project immediately it becomes expensive commodity. and opposition and their supporters come and they misguide the farmer and inflate his expectations and then the entire project goes for a toss. this is the politics which is played and that is the reason why gov has to take some steps to counter this or else we will not have any new projects how will we grow ?
The important point is, our universities are producing thousands of graduates/engineers/skill/unskilled youths, for these guys you need to create thousands of jobs, from where are you going to create job opportunities for these guys (including sons and daughters of farmers) it is not possible without industrialization, which will not happen without best infrastructure development thus you need land for this. Farm lands can’t create job opportunities as per our requirement. Secondly, fact of the matter is NO FARMER WANTS HIS SON TO BE FARMER due to uncertainty in that profession and he will be more than happy to accept reasonable compensation which is 2/4 times than market price. Please do not oppose it for the sac of opposition, opposition parties are creating a scenario as if majority of irrigated land is going to be acquired by government which is incorrect. Even after industrialization like China it will be not more than 5/7% farm land we have in country. In long run it is going to be beneficial for everyone in society.

If this law comes all rich people will purchase the land because even private companies for private entity can purchase the land without the consent of the former, then where is the end for problems of formers. Formers are not well planned economist they will spend the amount within span of 5 years because they dont know anything other then forming, then rich will become rich and poor will become poor.

Please all supporters of this Land gabbing bill 2015, please read all stories of singur and Nandhigram latest at Gurgoan completely and please assume you an affected poor farmer living in a piece of land over there and just think it how you and your family gets disturbed by this indifferent 'Independent' Indian Government. If you still not convinced then you support this bill
Govt has cleverly manipulated all the important clauses of The LARR Act 2013,to be in favour of Govt & its cronies thereby depriving the rights of farmers in the name of Development.They must sit with Farmers,Opposition parties & retrace some of the draconian clauses from the new bill particularly regarding Consent,Right of Farmers for legal redressal,Return of land to farmers if the project does not materialise after certain no.of years depending upon the nature of project,to hold the official personally responsible for gross errors etc.

Oh Bhagawan Vidwan, can you please explain the cruel amendments you are talking about? or simply flying kite?
The government has no business to acquire agricultural land "forcibly" and then hand it over to "private entities".
Also, the requirement that farmers must take government's permission before filing litigation against the government is legally untenable. It's like asking permission from a defendant before filing a case against him in the court.
Few politicians are bent upon to create always confusion and hate among masses for their vote bank, land is required where masses live, where masses live means more housing, more infrastructure, and industry for employment, as agriculture can give only limited employment. Whereas barren land can be made cultivated with water and manure, this is happening from many years. Instead of suggesting what to do for better India, or suggest changes, they only want to oppose the present govt.
