Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Policy, 2013
Heavily loaded in favour of land owners Huge mark up to the historical market price
to determine compensation amounts Numerous entitlements to landowners
including permanent job and upfront payment Prohibiting the use of fertile agricultural land
(beyond 5% per district) may be counter productive.

Education: Important issues
Fee and Funding Pvt participation and degree of control Attracting foreign universities Limited job opportunities post graduation Adult Education – Literacy vs Education
![Page 44: Issues Facing India New](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042905/577cc0961a28aba711909317/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Education: Summary
The govt has spent a lot of money on Literacy but to not much avail.
The policy is misdirected – Education and not Literacy should be the target.
Focus on employability and alternately creating more employment opportunities is the ultimate solution to the problem.
