Training Course

Land Acquisition

Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation & Resettlement

Thematic focus - The programme is designed and based on the new Act, “The Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013”.

The programme will also impart understanding of the issues and challenges in land acquisition, enhance skills in socio-economic surveys, consultations, data collection, planning land acquisition and rehabilitation and resettlement plan. The course would also discuss applicable central/state laws such as Panchayat (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA), The Forest Rights Act, 2006, and the Companies Act, 2013 and their significance.

Infrastructure projects involving land acquisition and displacement are essential not only to meet the needs of the modern society, but also to ensure more inclusive economic growth. Proper planning and implementation of resettlement plans can go a long way in reducing public resentment and resistance to   infrastructure   investment.   However, a   major   issue worldwide is the weak capacity to address land acquisition and involuntary resettlement. This is reflected in the limited professional staff, knowledge, technical expertise and operational experiences in resettlement planning and implementation. Managing the social risks and impacts associated with infrastructure projects in an effective and efficient manner requires careful attention of the government and the implementing agencies.
