India is a land of villages. From North to south and from East to West there are around 640867 villages (as per census 2011) in our country. Out of total 1210.2 million the rural population is 833.1 million(68.4% of total population). A great majority of villages are small with only five hundred populations each. A village comprises of resources like land (private agriculture land, common land), water (pond, well, irrigation system, both traditional and/or modern), grassland and forest (community owned or government owned). Apart from endowment of natural resources, the village also constitutes a unit; as a social unit, it is endowed with population either tribal or differentiated on the basis of caste. In addition, the village also represents a cultural system. Land is the main source of income and all activities in rural area are connected to the land. In rural areas villagers considered land as their �Mother�. Land Acquisition in our country is done by various agencies including government or by private companies. Land Acquisition is also done for various projects of railways tracks, metro projects, defence projects and various other works like nuclear power plant establishment, thermal power plant establishment, construction of dam etc. Land acquisition is done by private companies for setting up EPZs, SEZs and Industrial Township etc. to attract more and more foreign direct investment. Setting up industrial township/SEZ/EPZ or setting up other projects in the backward area to develop the particular region in one of the main reason behind any land acquisition. While selecting the location state government (land come under state) must exclude the agriculture land first preference for land acquisition must be given to barren regions. . We are losing for agriculture lands which directly reduce our food grain productivity. Fertilizers land or agriculture land is boon to our country and by land acquisition we are losing this for industrialization. Our farmlands are losing their agriculture production capacity and becoming barren due to various reasons main are imbalanced fertilizer use and excessive use of a single fertilizer urea in spite of all this we are losing our large agriculture production land to set up Industrial Township there. Initially we can be successful by this acquisition and by setting up METL (Model Economic Township Limited) here in this region. However, we need industrial development but not at the cost of losing agriculture land, loss of agriculture production, environment degradation etc. We have to find a way between them so that both the sector achieves progress without affecting each other. We have to focus on long term economy process not on short term goals and achievements.
