The Bihar government has adopted a new land acquisition policy for industry and other ventures of public good, where the state government would act merely as a link between investors and landowners. Besides, the government has also been creating its own land bank. The Industry Minister Renu Kushwaha told AIR that the new policy called ‘Aao Bihar’ meaning “Come to Bihar” is aimed at giving investors sense of certainness that land would be available for them in the state. AIR Patna correspondent reports that the government will not directly acquire land. In this policy ,farmers, either individually or in group, willing to sell their land would have to submit the details to the DM concerned, who, in turn ,would check the legal papers to ascertain that they are not disputed. The DM, then, would forward the verified details of the chunk of land to Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority ( BIADA), which would put the details on its website showing the price quoted by the farmers concerned. The investors would have a reference pool of chunks of land to acquire them for their ventures. AIR correspondent reports, the new method of land acquisition had worked wonders in buying of land for thermal power plant in private sectors in Banka district, where 700 acres of land had been acquired.
