Positive move in finally passing in at least Look Sabha .Have to see whether they call Joint session or pass it to standing committee as congress demands. If it is referred to SC then its back to the same old situation
There is no obligation to refer it with the SC as the current draft has already taken SC recommendations into consideration from my understanding. Bill will get passed if not this session, then in 6 months.

Many investments take more than 5 years to materialize knowing how sluggish the indian bureaucracy works. I agree with you on the other points

Yeah the private collages which ask 5 lakh donations is where they the poor rural people study
One of my cousins friend applied to become a police constable. He passed all tests but bureacrat demanded 10 lakhs for the job posting. Unfortunately, These donations of 5-10 lakh are common in india

Of course, NO ONE in rural India would like a private college near their village/town because ALL private colleges in India ask for 5 lakh in donation from ALL students. NO FARMER can afford 5 lakhs EVER, and rural students can of course NEVER qualify on MERIT.

NEW DELHI: The Modi government has radically enhanced and transformed top bureaucracy's role in project implementation and potentially reduced ministerial involvement, secretaries from different, in some cases widely different, ministries have been teamed up into eight working groups and each group has been tasked with getting fast results on crucial projects. There's no formal involvement of ministers in this arrangement and secretaries with very different remits have been put in the same group. Both are rare administrative steps in government. These groups will directly submit their reports to the Cabinet Secretariat, which will pass them on to the PMO. Ministers are not formally involved at any stage. And the practice of keeping top babus wedded to their remits has been changed. For example, the defence and home secretaries, both heavyweight bureaucrats, are in the working group on financial services. And the culture secretary and school education secretary are in the working group on industry. This major change in how the top bureaucracy works was formalised through a Department of Personnel & Training order on April 16. ET has reviewed the DoPT order. The eight working groups, with 9-11 members, will cover the following areas: industry; skill development; infrastructure relating to rail, road & air; urban development; rural infrastructure and human resource management; agriculture and agro processing; financial services; health and social issues. The government's directive to these groups of top bureaucrats is that they must first identify two schemes that can be tailored for better delivery as quickly as in three months. The groups have also been told to identify two existing projects or schemes that can be transformed in the long term but with minimal budgetary support. The order on this arrangement notes that this major restructuring is a followup action to the prime minister asking all secretaries to go back to their first posting and then submit reports on those districts. The work of these groups does not end with just identifying specific schemes and projects. According to the DoPT order, the working groups will further "assign responsibilities to concerned ministries" to implement specific steps. Not just that, they will assign "time limits for achievement" of milestones, devise methods of "periodic monitoring" and "final evaluation" followed by "ways of maintenance". While the idea was to have the schemes and projects identified by April-end itself, senior officials said, the process will take longer because these groups have just begun to hold meetings. "This is a very interesting innovation by the PM because these officers in the last leg of their career are being challenged to come up with ideas based on their experience and the gaps they have noticed in their tours," said a senior official. These officials spoke to ET on the condition they not be identified.

No consent required from farmers
This is only with regards to defence, affordable housing, industrial corridors, infrastructure (regular stuff like roads as well as social and rural electrification) Securing 80% consent is not always easy. Even INC leaders like Anand Sharma and Oomenn Chandy had reservations about the 80% consent clause. Link to a copy of Anand Sharma's letter expressing his concerns about the 80% consent clause: http://www.scribd.com/doc/257013381/Anand-Sharma-on-Land-Acquisition Second para.
No SIA
It has been scrapped for the above categories that don't require the consent clause as well as public purpose projects if the land is acquired by the govt.. It has not been scrapped for all projects.
Scrapping 5 year period for return of unused land
It hasn't been scrapped. It has simply added that a period specified for setting up of any project or five years, whichever is later. Sometimes it takes longer than 5 years to set up some projects to ensure that adequate safety measures are followed. But I somewhat agree with you, here there is some scope for foul play.
Compensation
It's the same rate. 4 times the market rate in rural and 2 times in urban areas. In fact not only are the compensation rates the same, they have included compensation for 13 acts which were exempted from compensation under the 2013 LAA. http://dolr.nic.in/dolr/downloads/pdfs/Right%20to%20Fair%20Compensation%20and%20Transparency%20in%20Land%20Acquisition,%20Rehabilitation%20and%20Resettlement%20Act,%202013.pdf Page 45. Landowners will get compensated for land acquired under these acts if the bill is passed.
And including private collages and Hospitals the biggest joke
Why? Is it a joke for people to receive an education and healthcare? Or is this the age-old, tired 'evil capitalists' argument? Also, is legalizing illegal colonies, which is also part of the ordinance, a big joke? Obviously the opposition will not point this out. I'll tell you what the big joke is here. Today the opposition will cry that the ordinance is anti-farmer. One year later, when development projects are moving at a snail's pace because of difficulties in land acquisition, these same mofos will scream and shout that the govt. is anti-development. I'll tell you an even bigger and crueler joke. These same people will defend damaad-ji to the hilt, who first acquires land at below market prices by arm twisting innocent farmers and locals and then, once local govts. announce development projects on those lands, will sell those lands at hefty profits. The main reason for the opposition's heartburn here is the govt. deciding to go the ordinance route and not 'trusting' them to pass it in a regular manner. Looking at all the silly hungama going on, I don't blame the govt. at all. PS: Deleted a para for being unnecessarily snobbish.

Do all of them ask for donations? Also, you do know that most of these farmers get compensated in lakhs and crores...? It is just that a lot of them spend it on frivolous things. Mercedes, BMWs, Land cruisers. The biggest myth that is circulated around the world about India is the paucity of money. Total non-sense.

colleges only take donations if you are taking admission on management seat and has not qualified the entrance exam for whatever course you have applied like AIPMT for medical or AIEEE for engineering. No college can ask for donation if you have passed them.

They compensate with names like College development fees etc. Even for those entering on Metir the college fees vary from 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh per year at worst in private colleges.

you do realise these institution create jobs right? One does not need to enrol to feel the benefits. What would you have? A farmer holding 4 acres of land highly dependent on the price of the crop he produces and the rains. or an ex farmer who works as a peon or a compounder in a university or hospital. Regularly drawing x amount of income. In our village near Dhule, half the farmers have left the land to work as peons or construction workers in the city of Nashik. Their land sits there idle.

PM Modi : " We need to delink terrorism from religion—to isolate terrorists who use this interchange of arguments between terrorism and religion."
Spoken like a SICKularist. :hmmm: In other news : Indian rupee hits a 20 month low against the USD.

Suppose the Government wants to lay a high speed train line from say Delhi to Mumbai, do you want the Government to take consent from 80% of villagers of all villages that this line passes from?
