The Land Acquisition Act of 1894 has been used widely for more than a century. But no big reforms have been made since its amendment. Thus, with the changing social, economic and political system this law became incompetent. 

Then, the Land Acquisition and Resettlement Act, 2013 was introduced. The authorities ensured that the basic rights of the general public were not violated while acquiring the land. New provisions were also introduced with the change in changing social, economic and political systems. Here is a quick

Land Acquisition Act 2013 summary in the form of a comparison table.
