Re: Parliamentary Standing Committee Recommends State to Acquire Lan Posted by: "rahul" [EMAIL PROTECTED]   aarohini Wed Oct 29, 2008 12:56 am (PDT) Despite many representations to it from diverse people's organisations and lobby groups seeking to limit the role of the state in land acquisition and to increase the participation of the people in the process of project appraisal and design and implementation of rehabilitation and resettlement the parliamentary standing committee has seen fit to come out on the side of the industrialists.

After extensive deliberations for over 11 months with several interest groups, a parliamentary panel today delivered its report on the rehabilitation and resettlement policy and amendments to the Land Acquisition Act advocating more power to states in these matters. However, the states may have to wait for at least another two months as the UPA government has virtually no time to table these proposals in the current session of Parliament. The government is planning to adjourn the ongoing session after this week and call a fresh session in December. The panel has rejected the government's most important proposed amendment, on the state's role in land acquisition. The Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill, 2007, moots that a state can acquire up to 30 per cent of the land required if the private player has been able to buy the rest. The Standing Committee on Rural Development has suggested that, if required, the states can acquire the total land required. The UPA government is, however, likely to stick to the 70:30 formula. Union Rural Development Minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh told Business Standard, "We have to examine the report. But it is not necessary that all recommendations of the standing committee have to be accepted." Singh had earlier sought an even smaller cap for the states (only up to 10 per cent acquisition) . Top ministers privately say it is the states that have caused most of the problems surrounding land acquisition for industry and this tendency has to be curbed.  The report has also sought to expand the definition of "public purposes" to include states' role in setting up private industries. "There are some industries which serve public purposes by their economic activities. States should acquire land for them," Hannan Mollah, a prominent member of the committee, told Business Standard. However, the committee has a different view. "If they have got a piece of land to build a hospital or a school, they can't come later and say they want to build a shopping complex on the surplus land. In that case they have to return the land," said Kalyan Singh, the chairman of the committee. Suggesting more power to the states, the committee said the option of using farm land for industrialisation should be left to the states. "While it is desirable that farm land should not be used for industry, states like Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar have very little non-agricultural land. Any blanket ban will mean these states can't have industries," Tarit Topdar, another member of the committee, suggested.  The question of compensating the farmer with alternative land has also been left to the states. "It is not feasible to provide alternative land in all the states. And giving alternative land means someone else will lose his land," Mollah said. The committee has also recommended that the highest price of sale deed in the last three years plus 50 percent of the said highest price should be the used to assess the market value of the land.  Vijendra Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (2) 2. Diwali Message -- for our economic times Posted by: "sri venkat" [EMAIL PROTECTED]   viji123 Wed Oct 29, 2008 12:57 am (PDT) The below Diwali message by Sri Anil Chawla is one of the best ones I have come across. Dear friend, Namaskar, Diwali is the night of no moon.It is said to be the darkest night of the year. Yet, we make it glow with our efforts and optimistic attitude to life. At the moment, world economy is in a state of gloom, there is darkness all around. In this dark hour, we should still not lose hope. We should continue to create brightness in our own minds, our houses and the society & world as a whole. The economic turmoil will surely claim a few victims. There is no point trying to fool ourselves that it can be a painless turbulence. The whole world is bound to be affected, though there might be differences in degrees. It will touch each one of us. Yet, we have to remain hopeful about the future. Everything that has a beginning must end. The financial tsunami that began in the USA will surely come to an end sooner or later. The supremacy of USA and her allies is bound to end. The world is bound to be a different place in the next few years. When the world goes through a major transition, the one who understands the transitory nature of transition is calm and relaxed. Keeping the lamp of hope and faith alive in the heart comes naturally to someone who has this wisdom. On the eve of this Diwali, let me pray that you have the wisdom to see beyond turmoil and turbulence. May the Goddess of lights enthuse you even in the darkest hours! May you be filled with hope even when everyone else despairs! May Diwali bring SHUBH LABH (prosperity and wealth that is good for everyone), good health, happiness and joys for you, your family and for the whole society and world. With Best Wishes And Regards, Anil Chawla hindustanstudies@gmail.com Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity  11 New Members Visit Your Group Yahoo!
