  • A CASE STUDY from WEST BENGAL Animesh Roy*
    Journal of Rural Development, Vol. 33 No. (1) pp. 15-32 NIRD, Hyderabad. DEVELOPMENT, LAND ACQUISITION AND CHANGING FACETS OF RURAL LIVELIHOODS : A CASE STUDY FROM WEST BENGAL Animesh Roy* ABSTRACT This paper has been written on the basis of quantitative and qualitative data collected from a needful household survey carried out in four villages of Rajarhat Block, where the Government of West Bengal acquired 6933.72 acres of land under Part-II of Land Acquisition Act, 1894 with the aim of developing a new business centre (IT Hub) and dwelling units in the name of public purposes in recent past. The study, however, finds that acquisition of agricultural land has not only bowdlerised the agriculture based economic activities by dispossessing farmers from their land but also forced them to diversify their livelihood activities. Interestingly, this change in livelihood activities has appeared in the scene with two major characteristics: first, there has been a sudden increase in the share of non-farm workers to total labour force and second, the bulk of this increase in non- farm activities has been mainly casual and inferior in nature. The temporary job opportunities provided by the government to dispossessed households are not inclusive, and unable to absorb majority of the working population of land loser households. Comparatively well-off households with their well tie-up with the local authority and political leaders have achieved greater extent in gaining these opportunities. There has been a substantial change of lifestyle of these native people in rapidly transforming social milieu. The study further identifies that the disparity in terms of estimated per capita monthly consumption expenditure within the project affected households is greater than the farming households unaffected by acquisition.

Investment in transport infrastructure projects involves a wide range of direct and indirect effects, out of which the present research work aims to highlight spatial network analysis and influence of road network in urban development. Materials and Methods: Spread and diameter of road network have been evaluated for five community development (C.D.) blocks representative from North, South, East, West and central part of North Twenty Four Parganas district respectively considered as study area on the basis of major roads. Space-potential map has been constructed on the basis of space-potential values derived at 12 urban centres throughout the district to assess the extent of regional accessibility. Again, it is of prime concern that the benefits of socio-economic facilities are not uniformly distributed over the study area and therefore categorical classification of two samples villages from each of the five C.D.

  • Political Economy of Dispossession and Rural Livelihoods
    Vol. XVII No.1, 2020 Social Change and Development The Land Question: Political Economy of Dispossession and Rural Livelihoods Animesh Roy1 Abstract Land dispossession under the neoliberal capitalist development has become a focal point of debate across the states in India and West Bengal is no exception. Based on primary data collected through three rounds of household-survey in 2009, 2014 and 2016 in Rajarhat, West Bengal, this paper examines the mechanism of land acquisition executed by the former Left Front Government (LFG). It illuminates the impact of large-scale land acquisition for a planned township for Information Technology (IT) parks, business centres and dwelling units. The study shows that the government had substantially diluted several legal provisions laid down in the Land Acquisition Act (LAA) of 1894 and denigrated the Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) benefits recommended in the National Policy for Rehabilitation and Resettlement (NRRP). The ensuant transformation in livelihood activities of the dispossessed in the post-acquisition stage came forth with two key characteristics: first, there had been a sudden increase in the share of non-farm workers; and second, a bulk of this increase in non-farm activities comprised both menial and flourishing livelihood activities. The transitional informal employment opportunities in the form of ‘syndicates’ created by the government for the dispossessed households were ‘non-inclusive’, which kept three quarters of dispossessed households outside their circuits. Comparatively well-off households well-linked with the local authority and political leadership had better access in gaining these opportunities. 1. Introduction The government of India has always attempted to uphold a commitment to higher industrial growth and infrastructure development ever since the end of colonial rule (Bapat, 2009).
