Expert panel submits draft of Bengal land use policy
Kolkata, Jun 15 (PTI) The expert panel to draft the West Bengal government''s land use policy today submitted an 11-point recommendation to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, suggesting among others that land for industry be bought directly from owners.
"The draft has recommended that land must be brought directly from the owners. An area-wise land map, identifying the land that can be used for industry, has been prepared," Debabrata Banerjee, heading the two-member panel told newsmen after submitting it to the chief minister.
According to the draft policy, share-croppers wishing to buy the land they tilled would be able to do so subject to the permission of the land owner. In case they received the owner''s permission, the government would help them obtain loans for buying the land if necessary.
Stating that a section of owners had extra land which they did not cultivate, the draft has recommended that such unutilised land be reduced while keeping the land ceiling intact.
The draft recommended on-line mutation, registration and correction of land deeds to expedite these activities.
It also suggested providing land to about 15 lakh homeless people and making bank loans available to them for construction of houses.
The formation of community management groups has been recommended to protect the rights of adivasis on forest land, Banerjee said, adding that widening of 12 lakh private ponds under NREGA has been recommended for water storage.
Banerjee said the draft policy also suggested increase of the use of organic fertilisers and a ban on genetically- modified seeds.
| Bengal govt not to acquire land for industry: Panel |
| BS Reporter / Kolkata June 16, 2011, 0:42 IST |
The two-member expert committee constituted by the West Bengal government to draft a new land policy in the state, has recommended direct purchase of land by industrialists from farmers.
"We have asked the state government not to acquire land for setting up industry," said Debabrata Bandopadhaya, a member of the expert committee, after giving the report to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
The committee has also made several recommendations to protect the interests of small and marginal farmers. According to reports, the panel has provided guidelines to the state government to create a land map.
If the government accepts the recommendations, it may hinder several projects in the pipeline, including the Rs 9,600-crore NTPC project for a 1,600-Mw unit in Katwa. The public sector undertaking needs 1,035 acres but the government had made it clear that it would not acquire land for the project. Last year, the company had acquired 387 acres.
The recommendations have come a day after passage of the 'Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Bill' to revoke the lease agreement with Tata Motors for the 997 acres at Singur, to return 400 acres to unwilling farmers.
Banerjee's anti-land acquisition movements in Singur and Nandigram had changed the course of politics in the state and helped her party, Trinamool Congress, to wrest power, ending 34 years of Left Front rule. Soon after coming to power, Banerjee had set up the expert committee on May 30.
The committee comprised renowned lawyer Soumendranath Bose and Bandopadhaya, an architect of 'Operation Barga' that had facilitated distribution of millions of acres among landless farmers and tillers from 1978.

Former Bengal minister suggests land policy
Kolkata, June 15 (PTI) A former minister of the Left Front today suggested that the Mamata Banerjee government undertake a policy to preserve agricultural land and prevent their use for non-agriculture purpose.
If the state government failed to retain agricultural land from being converted, it would result in food scarcity in the state, former land and land reforms minister Abdur Rezzak Mollah told the West Bengal Assembly while participating in a discussion on the Governor''s address.
Criticising the government''s plan to set up a land bank in the state, Mollah said this was not feasible since in most cases land holdings are smaller and that too under the possession of large number of share-croppers.
"At best a land-use map can be prepared in the state for proper utilisation of all available land for agriculture and other purposes," Mollah said.
Mollah pointed out that a huge land area covering the premises of many closed industrial units was still lying unutilised and those could be recovered from the owner of the closed units.
Admitting mistakes by his government in agricultural marketing, he called for a radical change in the sector making the cycle from agriculture to agro-business farmers-friendly.
Setting up committees would not serve the purpose; cold chain and other modern facilities were essential along with involvement of farmers instead of middlemen to reduce cost of the produce and benefit the farmers more, he said. PTI AKB MD
Investors must buy land on their own: Panel
KOLKATA: Investors must buy every bit of the land they require to set up an industry, says the expert committee on land, thus, seconding what Mamata Banerjee has been demanding ever since she took up the cause of landlosers.
The committee, comprising former land and land reforms commissioner Debabrata Bandyopadhyay and barrister Somendra Nath Basu, submitted its report to the CM on Wednesday. The report, prefaced with a Vinoba Bhave quote - "Land belongs to God. No one has any propriety over it" - and split in 20 sections, has 31 recommendations.
The CM formed the panel a fortnight ago for a renewed land policy for Bengal. Bandyopadhyay told reporters, "Industrialists will have to acquire their land privately. The government wouldn't be involved in this."
His words echoed what the CM declared in the assembly only 24 hours ago. She had dubbed the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 as "draconian" while participating in the debate in the assembly over the Singur Land Rehabilitation and Development Bill, 2011. Time and again, Mamata has conveyed her reservations about the Act to the Centre. The UPA-II government is working on an amendment that allows government to acquire 30% of the land required for a project. The committee's recommendation for Bengal's land policy has completely ruled out government participation.
Asked about the hurdles in direct purchase of plots that are mostly fragmented and the role of middle-men, Bandyopadhyay shrugged, "Since industrialists don't share their profits with the government, how can they expect the latter to help them get land?" He conceded that brokerage would prevail in a market system: "How can one avoid it?" The committee has recommended fixing the land price according to registration records. "The price can be more than this, no less," Bandyopadhyay asserted.
In case of acquisition for public purpose, the state must compensate the landloser adequately (with jobs, increased solatium etc). "We have pointed out in our report that land for the farmer is a source of livelihood and not just a property. Therefore, proper compensation is the need of the hour," he said.
The committee's report has sampled the land-use map conceived by the Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee government to recommend zoning of industrial land. Bhatar in Burdwan, for instance, is an area with multi-crop land and, hence, setting up an industry there is a strict no-no. Similarly, Blocks I, II and Neturia areas of Purulia are barren and could be used for industry.
The report has a proposal relating to distribution of land among 10 lakh landless farmers for the sake of food security. The policy, "Nija Bhumi Nija Griha" (your land, your house), has recommended allotting 10 cottahs to each of these landlosers, including the 5.5 lakh homeless, in the next five years. Around Rs 1,500 crore would be needed for the purpose. Asked how the government would acquire this land, Bandyopadhyay said, the state will purchase the land.The committee has called for reduced fertilizers in agriculture and stalling the use of genetically modified seeds.
The committee also wants the government to take back "at least some land" from absentee land-losers. It has sought bank loans for share-croppers intending to possess land and steps against illegal transfer of tribal land. Then there is a proposal for farmers to harvest their own water by digging up ponds.

No forcible acquisition, not even for power plants: CM
Ajanta Chakraborty , TNN | Jun 15, 2011, 02.42am IST--
KOLKATA: Mamata Banerjee is not prepared to evoke land-losing pangs by invoking the Land Acquisition Act 1894 -- not even for necessities like electricity. In a meeting on Friday, the chief minister, who is also the power minister, decided that her government will not acquire land for power projects through the centuries-old Act that calls for forcible acquisition.
Mamata has already set up a two-member land committee comprising former land and land reforms commissioner Debabrata Bandopadhyay and barrister Somendra Nath Basu to formulate the most acceptable land acquisition policy. But the only land acquisition project that will get a green signal in the near future seems to be for the 6,000 acres to build embankments in Aila-hit Sundarbans. Here, too, land will be taken only after prior consultations at the gram samsad, gram panchayat level and will be offered government jobs (subject to appropriate vacancies). The solatium amount will be increased to 60% from 30%.
The chief minister has given a go-ahead to this project considering the vulnerability of the islanders of Sundarbans. She wants to start the work by September 1.
However, Mamata doesn't feel the same way for power projects. Last Friday, she held a meeting with officials of power department, the state power utilities, DVC and NTPC to take stock of the state's dismal power situation. "At the meeting, the chief minister made it very clear that not an inch of land will be acquired for power projects under the current Land Acquisition Act," said a source in the know. Officials cited the ongoing Katwa plants (units 1 and 2), each with 800 MW capacity -- saying land acquisition was the need of the hour for these plants. Bengal's projected shortfall in peak seasons -- as pointed out by the Eastern Regional Power Committee (ERPC) under the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) - will be 1,349 MW in 2012; 2,194 MW in 2013; 3074 MW in 2014 and 4050 MW in 2015.
With the Katwa power plant project underway, the state power utility needs a total 1,100 acres of which 450 is in government possession. Mamata stressed on consultation even if that takes some time for the power project that is already two years behind schedule.
Last September, WBPDCL decided to transfer the Katwa projects to NTPC because of funds crunch. But the state government must go ahead with the acquisition and hand over the land to NTPC. Around Rs 134 crore have already been sunk in.
As per CEA's stock-taking report last year, West Bengal, which used to proclaim itself a power-surplus regions once upon a time, failed to equip itself against the huge shortfall. Referring to the Planning Commission's stern views of Bengal's power planning, CEA observed that the state had known since 2002 that the average increase in power demand is 450 MW annually.
And now the government's latest stand would affect 5800-MW projects that are in the pipeline. All these have been projected in the ongoing 11th Five-Year Plan.
