The pressure on land, the question of rehabilitation and resettlement, environmental degradation, growing inequalities are some such concerns. The mega projects initiated by both Central as well as Sfafe government are putting pressure on land and threatening the livelihood of people and environment. Goa is not immune to such developments. The article is concerned with the process of land acquisition to build international airport in Goa and in the course o f action affecting environment and livelihood of people. The article argues while such acquisition is necessary for development, its success depends upon consultation with stakeholders prior to such decisions and well thought out compensation and rehabilitation packages which are lacking in the process of land acquisition. Development discourse in the post reform period brought along with growth host of challenges. One of the major issue in the development discourse revolves around land acquisition and displacement. The increasing number of mega projects are putting pressure on the existing land and environment resultingin protest against such projects throughout the country. Goa being very small the stakes are high. In recent years Goa also witnessed number of protests against the planning and development of projects which risked the land, livelihood and environment. One such protest is the protest against construction of Mopa International Airport in PernemTaluka of Goa.

  • Even As You Read This, One of Indian Aviation's Biggest Deals May Be
    1 Revue de presse Semaine 47 (18-24 Novembre 2018) Even as you read this, one of Indian aviation’s biggest deals may be coming together. The Tata Group may finally buy out the beleaguered Jet Airways which, for a third quarter in a row, posted huge losses (to the tune of Rs 1,297 crore) last week. Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran is said to be keen on the acquisition, and has apparently set the ball rolling with a feasibility study. If it works out, the Tatas will become a majority player in the skies, with this third acquisition after Vistara and Air Asia. Or not. When Chandrasekaran ran the idea by the Board recently, he did not exactly receive an enthusiastic response. Among other things, a $2 billion capital infusion may be too large a price to pay to acquire only 24 per cent of market share. Analysts say at the heart of the dilemma is a clash of personalities. Chairman Emeritus Ratan Tata is allegedly not in favour of a deal unless Jet Airways Chairman Naresh Goyal, who owns a 51 per cent stake, steps down. “Jet Airways might survive, but I don’t know if Naresh Goyal will,” says Kuljit Singh, a partner at Ernst & Young. Jet Airways has outlasted post-Liberalisation industry shakedowns; global fuel crises; and the 2008 recession. But, as of June 30 this year, the company’s net debt stood at Rs 7,364 crore – down from Rs 8,149 crore on March 31, 2018. Its stock price has also dipped sharply -- from Rs 883 in January to Rs 163 recently.

  • Mopa Airport Woes
    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Mopa Airport Woes Debating the Proposed Airport in North Goa KENNETH BO NIELSEN Vol. 50, Issue No. 25, 20 Jun, 2015 Kenneth Bo Nielsen ([email protected]) is a postdoctoral research fellow, University of Bregen, Norway. A proposed new airport in North Goa has brought to the fore the old North Goa–South Goa feud. With the current Bharatiya Janata Party government determined to make the project a success, they could ride roughshod over concerns, environmental as well as political. If the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led state government has its way, Goa will have a new operational international airport in five years from now. The proposed airport will be located on the Mopa plateau in Pernem taluka in North Goa, near the Maharashtra border. But although the project is backed by strong political and commercial interests, it has encountered stiff opposition from other quarters. This commentary examines how the proposed Mopa airport has polarised public opinion in India’s smallest state. From Dabolim to Mopa The only airport in Goa today is the centrally-located Dabolim international airport.
