Why do we need to go in conflict for every issue. Nation must get mature to face and resolve issues in holistic manner which is helpful for all. There are always better options available which can satisfy all concerned. For this we all need to apply towards a holistic solution.
The issue of Land Acquisition can be resolved without conflict if we apply our self. The issue involves two major aspects:
- Need of land for development.
- Need of land owners
The need and argument of both sides is valid. Development is necessary and for that land is required. At the same time we need to be fair to land owners. Any feeling of injustice will harm nation's harmony and will prove detrimental to very purpose that is growth and development. But this can be resolved if we look for a solution that takes care of need of both sides.
One such solution can be as follows.
Suppose 100 units of land is required. The owners of this land form a group called Original Land Owners OLO in proportion of their share of land. The second group can be government or actual users forming second group called Actual Land Users ALU. The OLO will have 49% ownership rights and ALU will have 51% ownership rights. ALU will pay two times market price or four times circle rate to OLO as upfront charges and annual land use charges which will be distributed among OLO members in proportion of their land share. The annual charge will work as annual income of OLO members. This annual charge should be converted into proportionate equity share in business developed on that land. ALU will have full right over land use. There will not be any time limit of land use. If ever ALU decides to sell their rights to third party, the entire profit will go to OLO if the sale is within ten years. If the sale is after ten years then the profit will be divided as 51% to ALU and 49% to OLO. This will eliminate possibility of profit making from land acquisition. In this solution land owners will never have feeling of injustice, their needs are taken care and the land users get unrestricted right to use land for development.
Another solution can be. This can be used when land is being acquired for government use or national interest.
Suppose 100 units of land is required. In this case 200 units of land must be acquired. Half of it that is 100 units can be used for government use or national interest and second half that is 100 units must be clubbed together as collective farm. The owners of entire 200 units now own this 100 units in proportionate share. This can be used for collective farming using latest technology. This will help land owners get high yield which will be almost equal to their original land yield. In addition, land owners will get two times of market price or four times circle rate of the total land acquired and fixed annual income. There will be no time limit of land use. This will encourage collective farming in addition to much required development.
Future India belongs to hi-tech modern development and technology based collective farming. In both solutions the original owners are getting two times market price along with annual income. They also have some land ownership. The land users get unrestricted land use. Both purpose of nation development and land owners rights are well taken care.
Let us work towards solutions which encourages development for all.
