In the given case, you have every right to take back your lost land from Govt. agencies. You first engage a good and reputed lawyer and then issue a legal notice through him to all such agencies seeking vacation of your land within a specific period and solatium/compensation for illegal use of such land since last many decades and then follow the guidelines of such lawyer.

Yes. You can get back your land. For this you will have to serve a legal notice to the appropriate government as well as the departments thereof who are occupying the land.
So far as remedies are concerned, you may file a writ petition or may file a suit for possession of the land and for mesne profits for wrongful use and occupation.
Government or any of its instrumentalities cannot occupy land of any private individual without acquiring it under law of acquisition and making payment of compensation to the person interested therein.
