Land Acquisition bill 2015Till 2023. India followed 1894 land bill act which allowed the government to take owner land for country’s growth.In 2023. UPA government brought an amendment and passed a bill regarding the same. According to that bill, from 1 January 2023. 1894 land act bill was scraped.Land acquisition bill 2023 came into existence.Now, BJP led government brought a new land bill. It includes many amendments to NDA 2023 bill.I have made some comparison between the 2 bills.Read point no.1 from UPA and then 1 from NDAUPA January 20141.Necessary  to start work within 5 years2.If work is not started, land will be returned to owner3. Approval of 80% of land owners is must and if the project is owned fully by government 70% people should agree4. Owner can go to court against the acquisition5. Government can’t take cultivable land6.For individual land, approval of landlord is mustNDA December 2014/ January 20151. Work can be started after 5 years also since main focus was on nuclear plants, housing construction and railway which takes more than 5 years2. No such provision..3.Only 51% approval is needed, since even in parliament only majority vote is needed4. No, he can’t. Instead 4 times compensation according to market price will be offered.5. Now even cultivable land can be taken6. If government wants, it can take the land without approval .7 If owner doesn’t take the compensation, it will go to government treasury. 14.20 crore hectare lands is used for farming.6.70 Crore hectare is covered by forest.5.50 Crore hectare is unused cultivable land.4 crore hectare lands is non cultivable.17 lakh acre lands belong to defense ministry and 4.32 hectare belongs to Indian railways.18.65 lakh crore projects are stuck in the halfway because the bill is not passed.China follows land acquisition law 1999 which allows it to take any land without approval from owner.About 49% of Indian population is involved in agriculture and in return agriculture leads to only 13.7% of India’s total GDP.If we want to move on the path of development and we want foreign investors, this bill need to be passed.ONE important thing that we need to understand is that as per this bill, farmers land are a part of proposal. It's nothing like only farmers land will be taken.For a better idea listen Modi ji's Maan ki baat with kisan
