An Idea To Bank On
-The Times of India, January 12, 2012
The article, to start with, expresses the plight of the farmers and land-owners, and discusses the statistics dealing with the lands that are worked on for agricultural produce. Furthermore, it ensues a discussion on some of the land laws; and lists a set of fears and apprehensions, and much talked-about legislation that didn't see the light of the day. It then goes on to suggest the creation of Public Land Banks (PLBs), to be managed by a panchayati raj institution, at the gram panchayat or bloc/mandal level. The idea of PLBs is then elucidated at great length and suggests its efficacy.
"This proposal has been submitted to the Planning Commission by the 12th Plan Working Group on Disadvantaged Farmers, including women. We however hope that, even as the Plan is being finalised, state governments can initiate work on this on a pilot basis."
