This document discusses several land acquisition projects in India that have faced issues and been stalled. It provides examples of projects across different states that required large tracts of land for purposes like airports, industrial zones, and infrastructure but faced resistance from farmers unwilling to give up productive land or seeking greater compensation. The document advocates for more consultation and benefit sharing approaches to land acquisition that can help gain local consent, minimize displacement, and make affected communities ongoing stakeholders in projects to help address historical inequities in development.
