<br/><br/> This paper compares major provisions of the former Land Acquisition Act, 1894; and the Right  to  Fair  Compensation  and  Transparency  in  Land  Acquisition,  Rehabilitation  and  Resettlement Act (LARRA), 2013. The author observes that the 2013 Act is comprehensive, includes more stakeholders, provides better compensation and allows use of double crop agriculture land, under extraordinary circumstances. Although it protects the interests of the farmers and those dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, it makes land acquisition  a  tedious  and  cumbersome  process.  This  perhaps  is  the  reason  that  very  little success is received in acquisition of land under the 2013 Act.
