Abstract: The *Land Acquisition and Resettlement Bill, 2000 (Draft by Voluntary Organisations)* proposes a just and participatory alternative to the outdated *Land Acquisition Act, 1894*. It highlights the old law’s weaknesses, especially inadequate compensation and rehabilitation for displaced communities. The draft bill emphasizes transparency, equity, and community involvement in land acquisition, introducing stronger safeguards for affected people and fair resettlement measures. It reflects collaborative efforts of various voluntary organizations and concludes with an appeal to the government to adopt a humane, inclusive, and development-oriented approach to land acquisition and resettlement, ensuring social justice and sustainable development.
