Haryana gets land pooling scheme
The Harayana government, which was appreciated for its good land acquisition policy, on Friday announced a new farmer friendly “land pooling scheme” to make the landowner-farmers partners in the process of planned development of residential and industrial infrastructure.
The decision was taken by Haryana Cabinet headed by chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda. According to Mr Hooda, the scheme provides an option to the landowner/farmers to get “developed land” in return for their acquired land. With the decision taken on Friday, the government has scaled up its land acquisition policy to a new dimension with the landowners/farmers being given an option to become partners in the whole process, and is envisioned to become another milestone in financial empowerment of the farmers of Haryana.
He said that the “land pooling scheme” paves the way for a landowner to get a 1000 square yard residential plot and one commercial plot of 100 square yards for each one acre of land acquired by the government for development of residential sectors by HUDA. In the case of industries department, where infrastructure is developed by the HSIIDC, the landowner farmer would have the option to get developed land measuring 1,200 square yards for each one acre of land acquired. The scheme is purely at the option of the landowners.
