Bare Act

The Goa Land Use (Regulation) Act, 1991

This Act regulates the use of agricultural land in Goa, specifically preventing tenants from converting their land for non-agricultural purposes. It applies to land held by tenants under the Agricultural Tenancy Act, overriding other planning laws to protect farmland. The law allows for exceptions where the state can acquire the land for public projects or where local authorities or educational institutions use it for community or educational needs with government approval. This measure aims to preserve the state's agricultural resources and prevent urban sprawl on fertile land.
