Land Pooling Model – Big Benefits for Farmers
Unlike traditional land acquisition, the land pooling system allows farmers to become stakeholders in development. Farmers from nearby villages who contributed their land are receiving developed plots equivalent to 25% of their total land.
Earlier, under government acquisition, farmers were paid around ₹34 – 40 lakh per bigha. But now, with land pooling, they’re getting developed plots worth ₹1.5 – 1.75 crore per bigha, giving them 4 – 5 times more value.
Plot Prices and Allotment System
Plots under the Saumitra Vihar Housing Scheme will be available in different sizes ranging from 30 sq. m. to 300 sq. m.. The expected price will be between ₹2,200 and ₹2,700 per sq. ft. depending on the location and plot type.
All plots will be allotted through a lottery system to keep the process transparent and fair.
