NICMAR Journal of construction managementSummary: Land Acquisition (LA) and Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) are becoming increasingly critical to the successful execution of large infrastructure development projects. In the case of public funded/executed infrastructure projects, the major problems, issues and delays are related to LA and R&R of affected people. The difficulties of LA and R&R for infrastructure development projects in some of the States like Karnataka (Airport project) and Andhra Pradesh (ORR project) has stalled their development. The proposed LA and R&R Bill 2011 only proposed greater entitlements and adjudication mechanisms to the people. However, what is more important is that these processes need to be transparent, make speedy payments and resolve the disputes so that the resistance of land owners and communities is minimised. Information Technology (IT) can be leveraged to build such online M&E systems that streamline the processes and achieve the above goals. This case shows how such an online M&E system developed in Andhra Pradesh leveraging IT can improve the LA and R&R process of infrastructure development projects. The issues emerging in the context of it are also discussed at the end.
