Episode 15: Understanding Land Conflict in India - a podcast by Centre for Policy Research (CPR)

The Land Rights Initiative at CPR recently completed a study of Supreme Court cases on land acquisition in India from 1950 to 2016. This study examines land disputes along various metrics, as well as analyses litigation under the newly enacted Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013 (LARR Act) for the three year period, 2014 to 2016.

In this episode of the podcast Dr Namita Wahi, a Fellow at CPR who heads the Initiative, unpacks the findings of the study, delving particularly into the massive imbalance between the state and land-losers, and highlights possible ways forward.
