As per a news report in Hindustan Times ( 17 Feb 2016 )
, thousands of villagers of Khalapur ( Maharashtra ) ,
* have formed a
company
* transferred
3500 hectares of their land to this
company
* company has
signed an MOU with Maharashtra State for development of this land
* allowed State
to acquire 40 % of the land, without any monetary compensation
* villagers will
get to develop balance 60 % land
* for this 60 %
, villagers will be allowed an FSI of 1.7 in lieu of the existing FSI of 0.1 ,
to develop the township
# How does CIDCO ( nodal agency for Navi Mumbai
Airport Influence Notified Area ) benefit ?
* of the 40 % land acquired , CIDCO will
utilize 25 % for Infrastructure Development and rest for Commercial
development
# How do Villagers benefit ?
* Once developed , the rates of the real estate
in the area are expected to shoot up by at least 5 times ,
causing
good profit for the villagers
# Could
villagers have benefited much more ?
* Without doubt they would have gained hugely
if they had bargained on the basis of the following email that
I had
sent to Shri Nitin Gadkariji on 23 March, 2015 :
{ Dear Nitinji,
Farmers are opposing the Land Acquisition Bill for the following
reasons :
* Low / Inadequate compensation
* Once land is sold , not being able to
benefit from the appreciation of land value , when the project comes up
* Private parties bought their land at low price and
then sold it ( mostly to private builders ) for a whooping profit
I think there is a simple solution to the concerns expressed by
the farmers . Please consider the following :
* Each project will be tied to a
specific SPV , created for that purpose only
* In the first instance , affected farmers
will create a " Cooperative Society "
* Co-operative Society will issue shares to each
land-donor farmer , in proportion to the QUANTITY / VALUE of
* In turn , Co-operative Society will receive shares
in the SPV , equal to the value of the land + a cash
* Farmer's shares of Cooperative Society cannot be sold in
open market before 5 years but can be gifted to wife /
* Shares of Cooperative Society in the SPV itself cannot
be sold for next 10 years
* The " Cash-Value Compensation " received by
the Co-operative Society ( ie 4 times the land value ), will be
* To be immediately paid in cash to the
farmers............ 2 times
* To be deposited in the Jan-Dhan Account of
each farmer as FIXED DEPOSIT ( with 10 @ interest )....2 times
Dear Gadkariji ,
My proposal will ensure :
* Immediate attractive compensation to
farmers
* Recurring income from FD in Jan Dhan
account ( for a sustained livelihood )
* Continued sense of " Ownership
" in the SPV / Project , which will facilitate QUICK implementation
without
* Willing farmers themselves canvassing
/ convincing " Reluctant " farmers
* No fear of private parties benefiting
by appreciation of land value
* A sense of " Enlarged Participation
" thru Co-operative Society representing them on the Board of Directors of SPV
* Board Representation enabling farmers to
ensure that honest decisions are being taken
PLEASE , GIVE THIS SUGGESTION A
CONSIDERATION }
If all States follow this model , I think opposition to Land
Acquisition Bill in Rajya Sabha , will become irrelevant !
After all , this is a WIN
WIN solution for both, the
Farmers and for the States
If the Opposition Parties want to win future elections ( whether
at Center or in States ) , they should champion
the
