TATA's Project
by Neutral on Aug 13, 2007 05:14 PM

I am not a supporter of leftist. But, I strongly feel that agricultural land should not be taken for industrialization. From TV Channels I see that there were many acres of fertile land taken for TATA's project. U may get Titanium dioxide, good car in cheap rate, latest mobile phones etc..But, in a long run u will not get food to eat. It will be costiler than gold.
All this is bcos of conversion of fertile land to industries. This is called as Unplanned Growth. But, with help from agriculturalist & scientist, govt should locate non fertile lands in the state & develop that region with factories, transportation etc.
Even if the TATA is setting up in non-fertile land, why should the govt get the land from poor farmers at a very cheap rate and give it to TATAs. Instead, TATAs can themselves directly get the land from farmers after paying a good money to farmers. As per CM, maximum of 5000 people will get the job. But, around 18,000 farmers loose their land & job. Even if you give jobs to these 5000 farmers, how can u expect a farmer to do a chemical engineer's job? Ultimately, this project will not do good to these farmers...
