Question

According to the Land Acquisition Act (Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement), 2013, governments can acquire land for: 

(i) Strategic purpose. 
(ii) Projects for Families Affected by Projects. 
(iii) For public-private partnership projects, where government ownership of land will remain with the government.

• A. (i) & (ii)
• B. (ii) & (iii)
• C. (i) & (iii)
• D. (i), (ii) & (iii)

Hint:

Strategic and rehabilitation purposes are the two main grounds for land acquisition under LARR Act, 2013.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Scope of LARR Act, 2013.
The Act allows acquisition for strategic purposes (e.g., defense) and for resettlement of families affected by projects.

Step 2: Clarification on PPP.
In PPP projects, land ownership remains with private parties, not government; hence (iii) is excluded.
Conclusion: Correct purposes are (i) and (ii).
