To provide better amenities to police personnel, Madhya Pradesh Government has decided to build 8,000 houses for them at an estimated cost of over Rs993 crore. The decision to construct 8,000 houses for the police personnel was taken by the State Cabinet at its meeting chaired by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan. Under the plan, these houses will be constructed by 2014-15. Nearly, Rs993.28 crore will be spent on the project, out of which HUDCO will provide Rs889 crore as loan while the State Government will give Rs104.28 crore for the scheme. For getting loan with HUDCO, the State Government will stand as a guarantor.
The Cabinet also decided to give the status of tehsil to Nai Sarai in Ashok Nagar district, Udaynagar in Dewas district and sanctioned the post of tehsildar and other staff for the purpose, sources said.
With an aim to rationalise the land allotment process for setting up industries in the State, the Government has decided to create a land bank of the available undisputed land so that investors do not have any problem in getting it, sources added.
The Cabinet endorsed a Dakhal Rahit Government land allotment in cases of private investment. At present, allotment of land to investors, industries and companies is done as per policy of concerning department.
This arrangement has now been changed. Now, under provisions of Madhya Pradesh Rajya Audyogik Bhumi Evam Audyogik Bhavan Prabandhan Niyam-2008, land in and outside Audyogik Vikas Kendras will be transferred to Commerce, Industries & Employment Department by the Revenue Department. Similarly, land for information Technology Park will be transferred to Information Technology Department. In turn, the land will be allotted by the Industries and Information Technology departments after examination under departmental policies. Under the new arrangement, a land bank of Dakhal Rahit Government land has been constituted, which can be browsed on the website of Commissioner land Records & Settlement. Investors will select land for their projects as per polices of concerning department and apply for allotment of the same.
An integrated land allotment system is being evolved for investment proposals as per policies of all the departments except Commerce, Industries and Employment and Information Technology departments.
Under it, departments will examine the project for which land allotment is applied by an investor, assess minimum requirement of land and send report to concerning district collector.
The collector will dispose of the application by examining proposal and inviting objections/suggestions. On eligibility, action will be taken for land allotment.
land allotment committee headed by collector will be empowered to allot upto 4000 square metre land in urban area or 2 hectare in non-urban area or land valued upto Rs1 crore.
The division-level committee will be empowered to allot upto 1 hectare in urban area and 5 hectare in non-urban area or land valued upto Rs5 crore. In other cases that is allotment of more land, the case will be considered by a State-level committee headed by the Chief Secretary. Decision on land allotment in suitable cases will be taken by Cabinet Committee on Investment Promotion.
Following sanction for allotment, permanent lease on general conditions will be granted by collector, which will be valid for 30 years.
