Abstract :

India has established Special Economic Zones (SEZs) for industrial development in 2005. It needs about 50,000 hectares of agricultural land. Farmers are resisting for land acquisition because it leads to their deprivation, joblessness, rehabilitation problem and other miseries. The key issues involved are fixation of compensation for acquisition of land from the farmers, displacement of families and their rehabilitation at a secured place, employment of farmers in case of loss of land. These are the issues which are still swinging for proper settlement. As per the existing findings of various case studies it has been observed that farmers do not wish to give land and oppose the SEZs. The reason of opposition is land is their bread provider
