Against the backdrop of the farmers' stir in Greater Noida, Sonia Gandhi-led NAC today proposed that acquisition of land for development should have consent of three-fourth of village councils and provide for compensation six times the registered value.

At its meeting chaired by Gandhi here, the NAC reached a consensus on combining the Land Acquisition (Amendment) Bill, and Resettlement and Rehabilitation Bill into a single National Development, Acquisition, Displacement and Rehabilitation Bill.

"All land transfers for public purpose must come under the purview of this law," Aruna Roy, member NAC, told reporters here.

The various suggestions made by the NAC included the one requiring written consent of 75 per cent of the farmers and gram sabhas for acquiring their land for development projects. It implies that the rest 25 per cent will have to follow suit.

One of the recommendations to the government would be giving farmers six times the registered value of their land as compensation, Harsh Mander, another NAC member and convenor of the Working Group on Land Acquisition and Resettlement and Rehabilitation, said.

He said there was consensus in the Council on inclusion of persons working on the land into the category of project- affected persons which would make them eligible for receiving compensation.

"This would recognise the most invisible persons in the land acquisition process who lose their source of livelihood once the land is acquired," Mander said.
