Development projects open up a new avenue for employment. New Infrastructure development projects are proposed to improve connectivity that allows for fast movement of goods and services and connects major hubs. Infrastructure development is foresightedly done to provide new employment opportunities and increase industrial, agricultural growth, and allied activities. The infrastructure and cultural development provide growth opportunities to the adjoining areas as well. Megaprojects that are required to power the economy and create jobs often get stuck at the land acquisition stage to complete the project. Land ownership in vast parts of India is fragmented and disorganised, making the direct acquisition a challenge for a private entity. These lands are acquired for projects which serve a ‘public purpose.’ Besides, land-losers might end up with an unfair deal.

Under this scheme, the government of Maharashtra has taken utmost care of transparency in the process of land acquisition, rehabilitation, and restoration that helps the landowners to get fair compensations and strengthens the economy.
