Around
87 Special Economic Zones (SEZs) projects have been notified
in the entire country. Rs 60,000 crore would be invested in
these projects. Two SEZ projects have also been sanctioned
for Chhindwara district. Under this project footware designing
and construction training related institutions worth crores
would be established, Union Commerce and Industries Minister,
Kamalnath informed on Tuesday. With the establishment of SEZ
in Chhindwara not only this district would be benefited but
the adjoining areas would also get its benefit. With the beginning
of two projects job opportunities would increase. It is sure
that this tribal populated area would become prosperous economically
along with the adjoining areas. But, establishment of SEZ
should not be at the cost of agricultural land. If there is
necessity of farmers' land then they should be given payment
of their land cost according to present rates and soon. Use
of barren and not usable land should be considered seriously
for the SEZ. Though Kamalnath says that he is against compulsory
acquisition of land for SEZ. A lot could be done in the industrial
sector in Madhya Pradesh. Hence proper stress should also
be given to infrastructural development works.
