The Goa Compensation to the Project Affected Persons and Vesting of Land in the Government Act, 2017
This Act governs the compensation paid to individuals whose land is acquired by the Government of Goa for public purposes and the subsequent transfer of that land ownership to the state. It applies throughout Goa and covers land taken under various land acquisition laws for projects such as infrastructure, housing, and strategic needs. The legislation is important because it provides a legal framework to confirm that land is validly acquired once it is marked and measured, guaranteeing that affected persons receive compensation and allowing the government to secure land for essential development and public welfare initiatives.
