Abstract: In the wake of rapid urbanization and industrialization, land acquisition has become a pivotal aspect of development initiatives in many regions worldwide. The process of acquiring land, often for infrastructure projects, urban expansion, or industrial development, has significant implications for local communities, particularly farmers who rely on land for their livelihoods. Jewar in the Gautam Buddha Nagar District, situated in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, epitomizes the complexities inherent in the interface between traditional rural livelihoods and modern developmental imperatives. As the district experiences rapidly increasing urban growth and industrialization, land acquisition has emerged as a contentious issue, with far-reaching socio-legal ramifications for the farming population. The aim of this research is to delve into the multifaceted impact of land acquisition on farmers in Jewar of Gautam Buddha Nagar District. By examining the socio-legal dynamics at play, the study seeks to unravel the intricate interplay between development-induced land acquisition and the livelihoods, well-being, and community fabric of the affected farmers. Understanding these dynamics is crucial not only for comprehending the challenges faced by farmers but also for informing policy interventions that can mitigate adverse effects and foster more inclusive and sustainable development.
