Q. The National Land Acquisition, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Bill aims to substitute which among the following acts?
Answer: The Land Acquisition Act, 1894
Notes: The National Land Acquisition, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Bill aims to substitute the Land Acquisition Act of 1894. This act was originally enacted to facilitate the acquisition of land for public purposes, but it faced criticism for inadequate compensation and lack of transparency. The 2013 Bill sought to address these issues by introducing more comprehensive provisions for compensation, rehabilitation, and resettlement of affected families, reflecting a shift towards more equitable land acquisition practices.
