Change the land acquisition act.

Remembering that Former Prime Minister V P Singh had strongly advocated for changing the existing land acquisition Act, in the backdrop of a series of farmers' protests over land acquisition for setting up industrial units in different parts of India, he had said,"I want the Land Acquisition Act 1894 changed in this Parliament session commencing shortly as it was detrimental to the interest of the farmers,". He told farmers of Kisan Manch at his residence before they had left for Raj Ghat, where they held a meeting against the Act.He claimed that the Act, of late, has started giving benefits to industrialists at the cost of interest of the poor farmers.
The Land Acquisition Act of 1894 is a law in India that allows the government to acquire private land.
“Land Acquisition” literally means acquiring of land for some public purpose by government/government agency, as authorised by the law, from the individual landowner(s) after paying a government fixed compensation in lieu of losses incurred by land owner(s) due to surrendering of his/their land to the concerned government agency.
The land acquisition act of 1894 was created with the expressed purpose of facilitating the government’s acquisition of privately held land for public purposes. The word "public purpose", as defined in the act, refers to the acquisition of land for putting up educational institutions or schemes such as housing, health or slum clearance, apart from the projects for rural planning or formation of sites. The word "government" refers to the central government if the purpose for acquisition is for the union and for all other purposes it refers to the state government. It is not necessary that all the acquisition has to be initiated by the government alone. Local authorities, societies registered under the societies registration act, 1860 and co-operative societies established under the co-operative societies act can also acquire the land for developmental activities through the government.
People did not protest when the land acquired under the Act were used for setting up schools, hospital and canals, but nowadays the legislation is being misused to benefit industrial houses.
While the government, under World bank influence says that market forces should be allowed to prevail, then why shouldn't negotiation on compensation and price be held with farmers directly? Even Shri Singh had said that people interested to buy agriculture land for development should approach the farmers directly and strike a bargain rather the governments.
Will Government ever acquire Tata's Iron, Birla's Cement and Reliance power & gas for public purpose and 'development' without due compensation?
Why great injustice to farmers - not even being given due compensation ?
