After the recent protests by farmers against giving up their land for SEZs in Bengal, time has come that Central Governement comes out with regulations for land acquisitions.
Flourishing Agriculture will only ensure that our nation remains self sufficient for food. So it is necessary, that in no case any piece of land which has good agricultural yield gets converted into non-agricultural one.
Then what happens to SEZs?
We have lots of barren land in India, we have lots of regions where there is unrest because of lack of means to earn for basic necessities and improve the life standard. Why don't we look at these areas for setting up SEZs?
Yes, recently Government of India has made some important changes to help address above problems.
